A slow pitch for talking about history, about Russia, and/or about current events.

I think the default assumption, since the end of the Soviet Union, should be that it's always in trouble.

But that occasionally things go reasonably well or at least apparent economic/political progress acts as a veneer over the systemic corruption ?

Xiacob went native a while ago.  Probably spent all last week looking for little red envelopes at Walgreen's.

You're right.  Knowing you, you're fruity enough to buy them online straight from the homeland, made from authentic endangered animal flesh.
