In 1991 when I was training for a job overseas one of the guys in my class was Russian and I was amazed that he could come and work for a US company and be posted to different countries. I guess the cracks in the USSR were already appearing even then.

Rofl 2 words: KGB and espionage.

How do you think they developed all those copies of western tech?

The know how to make a great cheap assault rifle.

They make some of the pretiest modern fighters.

Urban legend. NASA didn't spend a cent developing the pens, Fisher made 'em on their own. NASA bought 'em, the Russians bought 'em, and Fisher made a buttload of money.

The Moscow Air Show..

Unlike many other countries, Russian airshow demonstrations are super cool because they regularly demonstrate their ejection seat technology.

Everyone I know who has been involved with the establishing the first Reformed theological seminary in Russia in St. Petersburg has had wonderful reports about the Russian people and students they have worked with and are encouraged by the progress they continue to see there.

(Well one visiting lecturer got beaten , robbed, and tied up by thugs, but that has been the exception, not the rule!)

Oh yeah, and Hermitage in St. Petersburg is one of the most beautiful and impressive Museums I've ever been too. (Course that's 'cause the architecture predates the revolution but so what)...

I've always admired the architecture of the Urban cities in Russia.

I think the Russian Hotties have a sultry look not found in most western women. (is it the eyes?)

and to quote " MMMmmmmmmm Vodka"

Many cheap hookers come from Russia and other Eastern European countries.
Also, if you marry a Russian she will take a lot of abuse cause that's how things work there.

Growing up we always saw East German and Russian women portrayed as men in dresses. Big hairy burly types. Honestly today I think Russian, Slovakian, any part of that world, has some of the finest looking women around! We have students that come here to work in the summer. Oh to be 22 again!
