I'm not an expert on Russia. I spent a fortnight there nearly 10 years ago. I will say that it seems that whatever you do to Russia, they'll be harsh fuckers. The aggression against foreigners is different to the 'bourgeouis' anger of Norwegian church-burners... that's always directed at symbols of repression, ultimately it's a rich country. Russia isn't. I wouldn't defend Nazis, for any reason, but I have more exasperation where it's an endemic of despair that permeates a lot of the country (hence the wonderful art they produce). Ultimately, masses of people in Russia live in poverty, and poor countries tend to regress into scapegoating (we're all familiar with this notion, I'm sure). It doesn't strike me as much more than a trickle-down violence that springs from the government.
Just as an aside - I don't wish to suggest that the national Russian character is one of hatred and despair; I've never met a Russian that wasn't lovely. But there's a large degree of...something or other... as a subcurrent...
Drifting into incoherency.
