neolex:

“Wherever there is Russians, there is trouble.”

I disagree with that. You have US and Israel as examples. Russian community in US, is extremely hard working and fairly successfuly (except in political sphere, which shows Russians are completely unused to democratic institutions and social responsibility).

In Israel, Russians have really rejuvenated the country economically. Mass immigration of Russian Jews into Israel was a blessing for it. It has to be noted, that most Russians in US and Israel are, in fact, Jews, but that changes little as they are still carriers of the USSR culture.

For a good lesson on how the bible is relevant to the world we live in — its helpful to notice that the jewish experience with communist soviet union in the 20th century maps over pretty well with the the jewish experience with egypt from joseph to moses in +-2400 bc.
