    I really wish Russia would get it’s shit together. It’s a beautiful country that just goes on forever. I’ve met Russians that are just awesome. I would love to go on vacation there, or even retire there one day. Buy a little dacha on a river next to some sleepy little village. But the politics, fucking Putin, fucking oligarchs…

        I don’t think it’s starting, I think the mask is just slipping off. Russia used violence, America has been using financial violence…

      Has there ever been a period in history where Russians haven’t been oppressed by their government or the church?
