It's been an American nightmare for 70 years but it wasn't until Vietnam I finally got it. Previously I was a) young and b) too occupied with my career which somehow always wound up being be about the cold war. The bombing of Serbia was literal torture for me. The best time I ever had was a few weeks in Moscow on business in the 80s. I've tried explaining the stuff here in this article to friends and family but it seems to do no good and a lot of harm socially. I'm just venting . Ignore me.
I would have loved to swap with you during 80s. Me leaving Russia for "American nightmare" and you experiencing life of Russian citizen for longer than a few weeks. It would have been interesting to compare notes ....
Well, it was a good time Moscow in certain ways. It was not yet totally westernized and when you went out the traditional balalaika music was magic and the our Russians friends also. Although they had little money they insisted on giving us gifts when we left.
I still have a chess set hand made by the guys father. The girl was an American literature major and we talked long into the night about politics and art. This was a lot different to my life back home in Indiana where they would love to have incinerated Moscow and my friends. An unforgettable experience.

I don't even try to explain any longer. It's easier to talk Kant or Nietzsche with my kitty.
