I've had David on the show twice before, following his travels to Korea and Palestine.
Today, we are going to talk about his recent trip to Russia. I am inured to Eurangloland's blatant anti-Slavic racism and imperial propaganda against a country and its people that have been relentlessly attacked since the great schism between the Catholic and Orthodox Church 1,000 years ago (1054AD). I cut my adolescent teeth reading all the great Russian writers. My father was an expert in classical music, so I got to hear the full range of the Russian School. As a certified science teacher, I have always had a healthy respect for Russia's extensive contributions to technology, invention and innovation. I traveled to Russia and the Caucasus in 1984, got to see the country and meet the people myself. In a nutshell, I know the West's Big Lie Propaganda Machine (BLPM) against all things Russia is a load of hysterical bunk.
David and his Russian wife, Elena spent time in Moscow, Yalta, Crimea; Rostov-on-Don, Volgograd/Stalingrad, Kislovodsk, Caucasus; and Zelenograd, where she has a residence. Needless to say, their experiences are unique, compared to being passing through tourists, since they spent time with friends and family - normal, everyday Russians with the same dreams and concerns as the rest of us.
Here are quick links to the places they visited,
