Tragically, this story could be from the US. The tree of liberty has withered quite a bit since 1959.
Nixon visited this town 60 years ago, not 70. The author of this story needs to check his/her math.
I ought to know; I was born in 1959.
“Da, comrade. We thought highly of President Nixon. But he got caught. SO, no plaque for him!”
“Da, comrade. We thought highly of President Nixon. But he got caught. SO, no plaque for him!”
If you asked Russians who their favorite US Presidents were, they would say Reagan and Nixon. They respected them, even if at the time we were on opposing sides of The Cold War.
“Local lore claims that Nixon had spent his teens in the small town, where his parents had allegedly worked, in the mid-to-late 1920s.”
What a bizarre local legend.
There is now more evidence for that than for collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Seems pretty harmless. Don’t Russian cops have any REAL crime to deal with?
