Comments on: The Russians Are Coming! http://www.transparent.com/russian/the-russians-are-coming/ Language and Culture of the Russian-Speaking World Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:40:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: John Keithly http://www.transparent.com/russian/the-russians-are-coming/comment-page-1/#comment-326 John Keithly Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:42:40 +0000 http://www.transparent.com/russian/the-russians-are-coming/#comment-326 I was enjoying this posting until I got to the Kalashnikov sentence. Then I started to sober up just a bit. Of course, Russia has the right to re-arm itself. No doubt it will too given the need to defend her borders from the likes of greedy western capitalists hungry for those many Siberian resources, etc. Still, my own preference would be to hope for Russia's greater peaceful integration with our world society. In so doing, I'm imagining our mutual chances for global long-term survival will be much more enhanced. --John I was enjoying this posting until I got to the Kalashnikov sentence.

I am enjoying the comments on Russia and the people more than the debates on the verbs. I am trying to teach myself Russian with the help of my Russian girlfriend. Keep up the stories and good luck.

They are great. I am just as avid a Russophile studying the language, but not being as young, it's taking me longer. My first trip to Russia was in 1995 and in September '08 I'll be making my 17th trip there. I fell in love with Russia over 60 years ago!!!! I'm a musician, and the music is what got me started. I would love to be able to write directly (e-mail) to this blogger. Is there any way I can do that? I'm a retired professor of music theory and composition (from Central Michigan University.)
