"Boris Berezovsky argues that conflict between Russia and Estonia is more then a spat between Russia and one of its former satellites. Berezovsky believes the cause of the conflict emanates from the unresolved issues of modern Russia. Denial by the Kremlin, and by President Vladimir Putin, of the Soviet regime's criminal nature prevents then getting on the program. If they could make this first step, there would be only eleven left:"

1. Admit you are powerless
2. Believe that a power greater than you can restore your sanity
3. Make a decision to turn your will and our lives over to the care of a greater power
4. Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourself and your people
5. Admit to yourself and all human beings the exact nature of your wrongs
6. Remove all these defects from your culture
7. Humbly asked other countries to remove their cultural shortcomings
8. Make a list of the countries you have harmed and become willing to make amends to them all
9. Make direct amends to such countries wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others
10. Continued to take a national inventory of where you went wrong and promptly admit it
11. Meditate to improve your conscious contact with other countries and for the power to carry it out
12. Have a cultural awakening as a part of these steps and carry this message to other compulsive imperialistic nations
