vanishedone commented on the word tankist
T.H.E.: 'While we were marching with lit torches across the croquet lawn to occupy the administrative building, we were led by a 'Tankist' (someone who joined the Communist Party when the Russian tanks rolled into Prague in 1968). The rest of us were all fooling around, having a laugh, half-pissed and asking who had the spliff, and suddenly he turned round and shouted "To the Winter Palace!" It was to the credit of most of the students that they fell about laughing.'
