The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation has published the "Captive Nations Update 2018" annual report, including a short briefing about each one of the countries where their peoples are victims 
of Communism or derivative totalitarian regimes, such as the so-called "XXI Century Socialism".
The United States officially recognizes the struggle of those nations held captive by "Socialist" or Communist tyrannies. Since the time that President Eisenhower published the first Captive Nations Week proclamation, most of the countries named in the original law have achieved independence and are now democratic and free. But there are still too many other nations suffering cruel totalitarian regimes.
It is important to recognize their struggle and continue to support these countries, with the hope that one day they will finally shake off the shackles of servitude.
