So, I'm graduating college and, feeling very idealistic, I decided to join the NGO which actually was using new media to promote democracy and media reform However, to my surprise, I discovered that dictatorships do not crumble so easily.
我那时刚从大学毕业， 怀揣着满腔的理想， 决定加入一个非政府机构。 他们当时正是利用新媒体 在前苏联内大范围 推广民主和媒体改革。 但令我吃惊的是， 我发现想要瓦解独裁统治 并没有想像中的那么容易。
