Russia and the Russians
I am writing this a little because I feel guilty because sometimes I write posts that seem hard against Russia or the Russians. However, this is not the case. I am actually really into Russia and Russian history and culture. Rather what I disprove of is Russia’s lack of democracy and blind acceptance of Putin’s Czardom. This was not directed at Russia, but rather Putin’s imperialism. So I will say something positive about Russia.
Russia, the land of chess champions and super models and sometimes both in one. Russia. The beautiful Russian soul few in the west understand. Russians even after 70 years of communism have not lost their depth and spiritual affinity and deep love of nature.
Moscow is one of the most amazing cities on earth. I am amazed why people flock to Paris or NYC or London when Moscow is larger, wealthier and more full of life. It is also less touristy. Russia has perhaps the most beautiful landscapes from Siberia to the the northern lakes,like no where else in the world. The women of course are perhaps the most attractive, the men are highly educated and very creative, for example did you know the founder of Google is Russian? The Russian writers are perhaps second to none. And dancers? Well maybe ballet and dance are everywhere in Russia. Athletes are top. Perhaps the future of the world will not be China, Europe or America but Russia. Russia is taking its oil wealth and developing new technologies and cities and infrastructure. The rocket scientists of the past were all Russian and with the new found wealth I am curious what frontiers the Russian will forge into in the next 25 years.
