The difference between our decadence and the Russians is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.
Russia is tough. The history, the land, the people - brutal.
That was the era when we might have destroyed Russia completely and not even skinned our elbows doing it.
From being a patriotic myth, the Russian people have become an awful reality.
Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.
The starting point for understanding the deterioration in the relationship between the U.S. and Russia lies in Washington rather than Moscow. After 1989, Russia was a defeated power. Despite the fine words and some limited gestures, the Americans have treated it like one. Their policy has been one of encirclement.
Today's Russia is not to be compared with the Soviet Union of back then.
The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks.
The Russian norm is an extremely barbaric state of mind.
The Russians are a very sentimental people.
