This entire article is reminiscent of the Cold War with it's generalized references to "Moscow" this and "Moscow" that. It is the sad truth that irrespnsible journalism exists in Russia just as it does in the United States and Europe. And just because this was boradcast over the Voice of Russia does not mean that this represents the view of the Russian government. In fact, I suspect that whoever allowed this bilge to be broadcast is in for a severe wire brushing, at a minimum.
I know that there are a lot of people around who have been so conditioned to equate Russians with communists, or to be suspicious of Eastern Europeans, that anything Russian is seen with enormous suspicion.
But since Russia has been freed of communism, there is no reason for this continuing hostility. We need to be cautious with the Russians, just as we must be with the French, for example, but we need not demonize everything they do.
I agree completely with everything you said.
