Boroda,
As you probably remember, many times i wrote that Russians (at least the ones i know.. the ones my father knows and our friend knows) are really great folks

There is one thing tho, you really think we should love you for the 50 years of the communism here... and it's not possible.
Look, propaganda is a pretty cool thing... when i wans young i seen in TV or heard in radio, how great our friendship is and how much our countries do for each other. Probably you heard the same in your contry. Pretty cool huh?
Not exactly, because it's far from being truth.
At the same time due to the orders sent from Moscow (yup) a lot of folks were prisoned of just killed. Of course it's not a fault of a Russian nation (when it comes to people), but that's how it was.
I say we were slaves, not because we had to wear nice shiny chains, but because we couldt say what we wanted. We couldn't do what we wanted and we were getting killed for expressing our opinions.
You say, we've changed the master - i'm not really sure.
If you look on what we are doing in EU, i say we are far from being gentle and peacefull
If you say about US... well... you can balem us on supporting Iraq, but i believe it's a good thing. Our guys got along with the locals pretty well and i believe we are helping the people.
If we are suporting US at the same time (witch for me is a secondary thing here) - i'm glad... i hope they would do the same for us... especially after what our allies done to us after WW2... maybe this will show them something.
Boroda, i would like to see some more respect from Russia nowdays... also i would love to see Poland showing some more respect to Rusisa at the same time, but i doubt it's about to happened anytime soon. Let's just hope it will happened someday, because it'd be cool to have you as friends not as enemies.
As for the pogrom's... they were inspored by politicians on both sides. Sad thing is that neighbours who lived in peace for a loooong time were harmed by them.
(too tired to check the spelling... sorry for typos)
