Apparently, up to 10,000 Russian conscripts died in 2001 due to murder, suicide, the Chechen war, starvation, medical incompetence etc. She told me that she was glad conscription didn't apply to her, but went on to say that "its good that men are military trained". However, I hear Russians have a romance with militarism anyway. Although, I found her double standards shocking for a well educated young woman with a PhD degree.

Shocking David...her double standard is simply ridiculous and almost like a split personality.....The Muslims are taking over parts of Russia, like mad....A few years ago...there were bombings in Moscow, that killed hundreds and hundreds of people, the Muslims infiltrated Moscow and were blowing up apartment buildings....killing women and children...that is their MO my friend...they aim to take over every country...little by little, and they're succeeding my friend...Then of course, after you come after them, they start playing crybaby...and get their Public Relations Specialists out...we've seen this thousands of times...same MO over and over and over again...Europe also has a very large extremist Muslim population...take a look at France....

Tell your Russian friend...and your lib friend...to smarten up and for God's Sake, stop eating their own....Jews are sometimes their own worst enemies...

The problem is that her opinion "its good that men are military trained", is shared by a large percentage of Russian women. Could this be a spiteful form of gender suppression, especially when Russian military service is so dangerous? Or is it due to state brainwashing that dates back to the Stalinist era?

I suppose given that her opinion on male conscription is so common among Russian women, when taken with her opinion about the Palestinians' situation it doesn't count as a double standard. Because she only conformed to the former viewpoint, whereas she did actively make the latter opinion by herself.

You reminded me of a strange thing she said to me, which I thought was bizarre at the time.

A while ago she told me about a dream she had in which she was captured in Southern Russia during an insurgency by Muslim fanatics. She told me in detail about the leader of the Muslims, his appearance, his politics etc and then she went on to say that he had realised she was interested in him and told her that he could not get involved with a non-muslim.

This dream sounded strange enough, especially as she explained it to me with total seriousness for the best part of 5 minutes. It seemed unbelievable to me because on many previous occasions she had said negative things about Arabs and she hates the Chechens. Perhaps she has got a split personality, either that or she's completely mad.
