   [1]Lest we forget:

     AN adventure park offers a journey back to the Soviet Union with
     KGB interrogation methods and "beatings" with a leather belt.
     The 1984 Soviet Union theme park is located outside the Lithuanian
     capital Vilnius in an old bunker which served as a secret TV
     station in case of a nuclear attack.

   Odd, but I think this says a lot about how far the former Soviet
   republics have come. The only thing missing is an animatronic Dan
   Rather telling them how much better off they are than Americans, and
   perhaps a Pulitzer-winning Walter Duranty essay breathlessly extolling
   their socialist utopia.

     At the conclusion of the tour, visitors receive a special
     certificate to honour their two hours as "Soviet citizens" and a
     shot of vodka

   Naturally.
