Armen08 I do agree with your comment about Russia’s tenacity and endurance. Russia is, perhaps, the greatest hope for humanity as the world faces new age of uncertainty and insecurity marked by global warming, energy crisis, wars and famine.
POST COMMENT
No other country has more admirers and well-wishers in the world than Russia today. Russia went through three major catastrophes in the last century: WWI, WWII, and the implosion of the Soviet Union. Three times it became the victim of western deception and machinations. Yet it rose each time from the ashes of victory or defeat, and it is rising again to reclaim its glorious place among leading nations. I am sure the day is not too far when many people scattered in every corner of the world will broadcast proudly: we are Russian too. P.S. Eat your heart out, Marzipan6, whoever you are.
