The world is a topsy-turvy place.
A group of five Russian parliamentarians have asked the state prosecutor this week to investigate Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the USSR, for treason in connection with the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991.
They argue that Mr Gorbachev acted in defiance of the wishes of the people, who had voted in a referendum in favour of preserving the Soviet Union.
Or is it that history just continues repeating itself?
Every generation thinks it has the real vision, knows the perfect way to go.
God help us and preserve us too. Especially from the fanatics, purists, ideologues and all those who say they have God on their side.
