The Russians after all do not have a history of invading and occupying foreign lands.
Over the last six years I have come to know Russians quite well , frankly they are not the least obsessed with the West, most I talked to over the years are on the whole West friendly, they can not understand why the west in general dislikes Russia.
The myths that for years I took as gospel about Russian and the Russian people have now been dispelled.
They do smile, they are friendly they just do not laugh at a drop of a hat as we do in the west.
The big plus undoubtedly are those ...gorgeous Russian Blondes, they make me feel so so young, why I don't know and frankly I do not ....remember
