There is tremendous ignorance here about Russia. I once watched a tv show, major network, saying Russians were having to stand in line for bread and food was too expensive for the people.

So that evening we call alled of our Russian friends, and they were all laughing about this.

Experience has taught me to believe the Russians who are actually there, over some American group, funded by whomever, that is, "reporting" on the web to influence people ( usually to donate money) and sway public opinion for their own personal welfare.
