Misunderstanding Russia and Russians - Observations from a former diplomat

[newthinking]

4. Always interesting to hear your "take" on it. Which is based

on the way you feel and not on fact of course. Not sure what you object to about learning from an American delegation. You seem to fear letting some understanding in as it may break your imagined view?

Look at all those commie kids in red uniforms! Not! Ugh....


I can't imagine what you have against Russia taking what was bankrupted previously and investing in their children. But of course everything must have an "evil angle" when one is paranoid of Russians.

Artek was only one place they visited but if people want to learn about it on their own (instead of through a cold war 1 lens) it is easy enough to do so as it has a pretty comprehensive site on the web.
