[Eric in the Ozarks]

Russians were dominated by authoritarians for centuries before the Bolsheviks came along. Paranoia is in their DNA.

[JohnA]

I suppose if you’d have been invaded a few times, and you took heavy hits, you’d be a little paranoid too. Instead, you have two very valuable allies ...always. These are called the Atlantic and the Pacific.

[TexConfederate1861]

The Russian people are also the most SPIRITUAL on this earth. (In spite of Communist attempts to destroy that aspect).
