You rarely hear about “the ‘good people’ of Russia.” It makes me wonder if there are any. They were probably wiped out in a pogrom or something....
For many years, a long time ago, I used to read anything Russian, while I don’t remember the fancy ways of saying it, there is something tragic and romantic in the Russian people, but they are also savage, backwards, primitive, dark and inward looking, there is nothing inspirational and uplifting in them, they are the opposite of the old Protestant American spirit of the past, they don’t even come close to Western Europe in being positive and charitable and forward looking.
Russians are those crabs in the box that Rush Limbaugh talks about, and always have been.
