To Russians, With Love

Thank you for reading my blog!  I know I don't speak your language, but let me say, I an honored.  And you know what?  Totally over that whole Cold War thing.  Pretty silly, right?  I mean, we totally beat you with the man on the moon thing, or whatever, but no hard feelings.  You beat us with the chimpanzees in space and dogs and first humans... And Sputnik.  Ok, and a lot of people don't think we actually put a man on the moon.  But that's what the Cold War was about, right?  Oh, and the Olympics, because I know we boycotted the Moscow games.

I'm just joshing you.

(But really, I'm glad you aren't part of the USSR anymore, as I'm sure you are as well.)

Here's my first thoughts about Russia before I would have to do some research: One, damn, that's cold!  Literally, the snow and the cold.  Two, did you know that you're a part of Asia?  Because in the US we like to pretend you're not.  Three, Russia is definitely not to be fucked with.  It's kind of like that big guy that doesn't say too much, but once you mess with him, you're shit is fucked.  I mean... Want to lose a war?  Go to Russia!  You'll lose.  Oh, you will lose.  Four, as far as I know, you're all beautiful.  It could be because of Maria Sharapova, but that's good enough for me.

Because she is freaking beautiful.

I'm sorry I don't know much about Russia.  Educate me!

Love,
Madeleine
