I’m with you, slyviper47. Back in "those days," everyone seemed to have a soft spot for the Russians—it wasn't just limited to Mexicans.
By the way, has she actually read "The Moscow Years"? Hmm... I have to wonder... is she a colleague?
Honestly, anyone who thinks Gavrilo Princip was the sole cause of World War I needs to go back to grade school... assuming they aren't already there.
As for Rogozin's statement regarding geopolitical tensions, he’s just saying whatever serves Russian interests at the moment.
