And still Russians don't give a damn about that plight. It does seem
that there is an aimed anti-Albanian anti-Western media campaign going
on in Russia, jingoist and fearful in the good old cold-war tradition. I
found it hard to argue with Russians about the war as well: "Of course,
watching 10 dirty unwashed Muslim children on TV makes you
compassionate. They procreate like rabbits."--I was told. So,
unfortunately, Tsuji seems to be correct in his description, and Russia
seems to have fallen back into some or another form of mass lunacy.
