All about Russia: your opinions and thoughts.

[jbd555]

I was in Sheepshead Bay/Brooklyn NY a few years back and met a few Russians. All the signs along the docks are half Russian language/ half English. Every person I met was nice and quite talkative. In town here in Sarasota I spoke with a lady who speaks with a Russian accent. I asked her where she lived when she first immigrated to the US and she told me Sheephead Bay!!!
Growing up pre 80's it was spy vs spy between the US and Russia. Many movies were made on this concept including one called Russkies in the 80's. The movie dealt with the tensions between our countries and how the people of Russia really aren't so different from us. To me Russians are kind, very friendly, outgoing and proud.
