Where would anyone get the idea that Russians are cold hearted? My mother was Russian and if anything she was affectionate, loving, and gentle. Russians are probably among the most loving and affectionate people in the world. I never met a Russian who wasn't kind and sympathetic.

My Grandpa was Ukrainian/Russian who went through the Bolshevik Revolution and was friends with everyone in his neighborhood. He was a hoot!

His experiences as a teenager and the revolution, which he talked about often, and my visit to my Grandma’s family in Yugoslavia in the early 80’s shaped my politics forever.

(And becoming addicted to Firing Line and Buckley in middle school helped.)

Lenin and Stalin were pussycats, weren’t they?

Weird thing: only Russians and Americans hug. (As a normal greeting)
