In 1987 I had the pleasure of being part of a group of people who escorted Yuri around northern Colorado visiting various conservative groups.

That sounds like it was interesting.

Yuri loved America.

I notice that many immigrants do -- I know a man from my church, from Argentina, who can tell you exactly the parallels between the US now and the fall of Argentina; you can tell he loves the American ideal and doesn't want the same to befall this country.

Yes, it was interesting. Yuri was a character and he taught us all a lot.

After a few vodkas, he’d tear up and curse the communists and our media. He detested people like Dan Rather.

It’s sad to see people like that come here and have to go through it all over again.
