I should say that I have had the experience of two Russians when I was a bit younger, the two seemed so interested in USA Culture and Economic growth that Russia has difficult periods of development.<br /> I enjoyed the piece you wrote on St. Xenia, and Smolensky Cemetery, Russia.<br /> My background is odd in that I have read a bit of information on the history of Smolensky during the Occupation of the Germans during WW II and horror of the Area being tossed back and forth between the National Socialist and the Soviet Era Government. The People suffered tremendously. The Soviets raided and desecrated the Orthodox and Jewish Temples so that the Icons and Religious Books/Scrolls (?) were treated as building materials and also burned. The Russians should not be our enemies, but the History of the Smolensky, Ukraine and area around these places have been decimated by periodic upheavals in the Governments controlling the areas. The people were nothing, yes ? <br /> So, thank you for considering these wonderful ideas of yours and developing the content into talk.
