Russian Acts of Kindness

[Rylkova,Galina S]

With all due respect, I find such statements condescending and
ill-informed. I watch several Russian programs and read Russian news on
a daily basis and can say that Russian people enjoy the same amount of
freedom (freedom of speech and expression) as any Americans do in the
United States. I would actually say that the variety of opinions that
one can find in Russian newspapers and on Russian political shows would
be very hard to match here. 

Sincerely, 

Galina Rylkova

there were lots of kind Russians, and it's such a great country in so
many ways. But that benighted entity has become the Soviet Union again,
with its constant repressions, suppressions, threats and the obstacles
to humane policy it throws up. It's really sad. We're left with their
marvelous language.
