It wasn't the people or the Russian culture it was the communist
socialist party and it leaders we had a problem with. Its just a shame the
your average Russian got stuck in that restrictive life of no freedoms.
Hope you can get here soon as we are pulling for you.
This is definitely true. I don't think in general that we ever hated the Russian people - just the government. Regrettably, we seem to be headed down the same road here, though. As Solzhenitsyn told the students at Harvard a number of years ago - in general, our society has forgotten God and is turned to Statism.
