In reply to the discussion: Post something nice about Russia. [View all]CincyDem
(6,962 posts)53. Well...technically...not that far. In fact, I believe it's the closest country without a shared land border.

Three things nice about Russia: ---- 1) Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, 2) Pussy Riot, 3) They helped the Allies win WW2.

I got nothing. I'm sure there are good folks in Russia, but they are in hiding, just like we will be.

I like Cream Russian dressing better than Creamy French dressing, they taste similar though.
