I was at a Christmas Eve dinner last night where a Russian woman expat was also a guest. She’s a friend of my daughter-in-law and has become a member of their family. The subject of Ukraine came up and she launched into a diatribe about Zelensky being a fascist (Putin was a conservative nationalist), her tax money was being spent on Ukraine, Ukraine didn’t really exist as a nation, and on and on and on.She has lived in the US for 23 years and I don’t think she has been back to Russia in all that time. You can take the Russian out of Russia but you can’t take Russia out of the Russian, or something like that.
