Hello, I have been lurking here for about a year...I read Atlas Shrugged a long time ago, yes the whole thing. I lived in Russia for about two years altogether, but I'm in Kansas now. If you want to know what's actually going on in Russia (Moscow mostly), go to http://expat.ru, their forum, and "current affairs." Posters range from conspiracy nut (but lately, he's looking better) to brainwashed Leftists who cut-n-paste from NYT, Politico and Yahoo!., but most are okay. I'm thinking about moving to my old secretary's place, she invited me - she bought a little farm on the outskirts of Siberia. I have been selling a lot of "Learn Russian in 3 Months" books on my eBay site, so something's going on there....Счастливой пути (have a nice trip)

Yall must be getting a different screen than I am. I don't see any Russian posts.

The Russian posts are spam.

Wonder if he ever met Snowden?I conversed a few times with someone I dealt with on ebay in Ukraine, it was interesting. Considering the brain drain in the US, they seem much more informed about their country..

Guess they couldn't find a posting place in their own language. Thanks for the response.

Da! Nyet! Otherwise, since me dino don't read or speak no Russian, I wonder if those are really words or randomly picked letters.

My typing is bad today.
