Now, there is another historical precedent that preceded the Soviet Union, and that is the case of the Volga Germans, who were invited by Catherine the Great, to help modernize Russian agriculture. Initially they were promised autonomy. But eventually the Russians demanded they be “Russianized”. As a result, many of the Volga Germans fled to the US, many settling in the Dakotas.
The S African Farmers would be better off in a country not as communist as Russia, it is going to be a free for all, once Putin is gone. He has created stability there for the time being!
History does repeat itself, over time, and usually not all good! I’m glad Trump will have two terms, as this country needs that time of prosperity to recover and reclaim the Obama losses.
