@Kryto His opinions are unique to him! I lived through parts of the cold war and the people i knew, and myself DID have antipathy towards Russians. Not because Russians are or were bad, but because we were constantly propogandized to have fear & loathing towards them, and we assumed they had as much influence over their government as we thought we had over ours! So, if a people allow a bad government, doesnt it seem reasonable they must be bad people? During the 80's our gym teacher was ex-Marine, vietnam vet, and we were told to save electricity so we could bomb Russia! it was these little cues over and over again that cemented that the Russian people were just as loathesome as their government. In hindsight, i was apalled at how I felt and others felt, and we certainly have a change of heart now!! But in a Nation of 200 million people ( the US population during the years I grew up) there were vastly different experiences. Some of us were taught to hate Russians, even though we hadnt met any!
