“But would they have us?” They might have you for as long as you’ve got money to steal, but based upon a close friends observations during a trip to Russia, the Russian populace is possessed of deep seated hatred toward US Americans and all things having to do with it except of course....blue jeans and music.

Can you blame them? The current generation had nothing to do with the cold war or problems between our countries in the past. Yet today many young Americans of the same age group categorizes them as evil.

I don’t speak Russian, so I could never go anyway. It would certainly be a difficult life over there for any American immigrant, no doubt.

That’s not accurate. They generally love Americans, but simply despise our government. I cant imagine anyone visiting there coming out with the idea that Russian people hate Americans.

Unless of course, a person is in such solidarity with their government that they see themselves as hated when a person hates the US government.
