On a totally different note. We once had a dinner with members of the Russian Army during a JRTC rotation. I will tell you thier Soldiers were very open and friendly; as I assume most fighting men are toward one another regardless of ideology. Hell, you should have saw the shortages of TA-50 when we returned, but there was a surplus of Russian military watches, knives, hats, ect....
I think the Russian people individually are generally good people. I generally don't have a problem with them (except that ALL of their movies are so damned depressing). My issues are with the Russian government and and their choices.
