Millenial russians think they are vicitms of the past - of outside forces that took over their country - and the orthodox russian millenials see the dark times as satanic. Chrome browser translates pages and makes reading russian a whole lot easier.
I do not mean soviet cultural influences over present day Russia - that is obvious.
Rather - how much did the Soviet Union directly form, support, influence and manipulate the AMERICAN Left in all its forms - education, environment, religious, cultural. We know they tried and they probably had many successes.
So my question for Putin is - your former nation exported the malign influences for which you now criticize the West. How big a role did they play???
