Oh BS!
Remember the Russian Five who played for the Red Wings?
Sergei Federov
Slava Fetisov
Slava Kozlov
Igor Larionov
Vladimir Konstatinov...?
Larionov returned home to Russia
All doing well in both the U.S. and Russia..........As are the rest of the Russians hockey players, past and present, who came and played in the NHL then ultimately returned to their home country of Russia........
The Soviet generation is a bit complex in their relationship and loyalty to the State and how they measure their countrys progress. All of them though, including those openly critical of Putin and disapproving of Russias political direction (like the younger Panarin) are still ultimately loyal to their country and people, regardless of any pain theyve endured at the hands of the State. Thats a given. And its easier to be that way of course after attaining such a high level of success and comfortable living.
Its the younger generation thats fleeing.
Thanks for the reminder. I’ve got to see that movie !
You’re right!!! That PROVES Putin never hurt anybody!!!
Go back to sleep.
I am sorry. Did they speak out against Russia and nothing happened to them?
I hate being proven wrong :)
It happens often!
