Yes, indeed. Over the citizens of Russia still dominates "ghost" of the
Great Patriotic War. Too many people have died. In Russia there is no
family in which somebody not died in the war. 27 million people, a war
of extermination. But hatred have the russian people to Germany not.
First, in the Civil War the West wanted to impose the russian people
lifestyle. Then in the Great Patriotic ... Throughout history the Soviet
Union, russians people was forced to confront the world in the
protection of their right to life, deny yourself in everything. To feed
a bunch of the Warsaw Pact countries, Africa, South America and Asia.
Due to the mental impoverishment of the party and the Soviet Union
collapsed. Have come liberal reformers. Collapsed thousands of plants,
emptied hundreds of towns and villages, tens of millions of impoverished
people. Is it any wonder that the ideology of liberalism is not popular
with the citizens of Russia? It is associated with all of them the most
disgusting that may be in life - poverty, gang violence, destruction.
About Israel.
Russian man dualistic. Yes, he endorses a policy of combating terrorism
in Israel (because that the "has experienced on their skin"), but also
approve of the Palestinians in their struggle for independence.
In general, the Russian people is very difficult for Westerners to
grasp. Too different were the conditions of life in Russia and the West.

Stepan Kutuzov said:
In order to kill someone - need the balls. Among the Russian liberal opposition, there is
no one capable of it. Too professionally done murder. Murder, no doubt beneficial
opposition as "sacrifice to the slaughter".
We must not link the murder Nemtsov and report on allegedly the presence of
Russian troops in Donbass. Nothing serious, he would be there would not
disclose. Russian citizens still do not listen to the liberals - all what they
say - automatically lie and a provocation. So consider the majority of citizens
of Russia.
Ken Hiebert replies:
SK says, "So consider the majority of citizens of Russia."
It's always a good idea to consider the opinions of others. I want to know why
the majority of Russians see the world the way they do. I also want to know
why Americans and Israelis see the world the way they do. This does not mean I
have to agree with them.
I would suggest that the horrors of World War II weight heavily on the minds of
people in Russia as they do on many fervent supporters of Israel. I could be
right or wrong about this. But I am sure it is never a good idea to write off
whole nations of people as stupid or too full of ignorant hostility. We must
look for a starting point in the conversation by acknowledging their experience.
My contact with Russians is minimal to non-existent. But while I still worked
on the waterfront we did see some Russian sailors. A co-worker of mine was
able to talk to them. He was Bulgarian and had spent time in the Soviet Union.
He told me that they were looking for a leader who was a patriot. An echo
perhaps of the Great Patriotic War?
