Rob73, you’re right, of course. I know and enjoy lots of Russians, my daughter having majored in the language and having many Russian friends in the dept at the university, and her boyfriend being Ukraine-born with parents among the wave of Jews released by Gorbachov under perestroika (or was it glasnost?). If i seem harsh toward Russians, it’s because they permit Putin. Inexcusable. This is the 21st century. The world is trying to make progress. Putin gang is a hark back to 80 years ago, it’s very demoralizing.
