No, it is not. It is a vast and complex country that has suffered greatly in her history. To outsiders, she is largely a mystery. Even Russians don't often know what they want from their government. To quote Winston Churchill: "I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest." Russian National Interest. So there it is. Anyway, Russians are in general wonderful people. They like Americans and all from the West (in general). I wish America would give Russia a chance.
