My biggest risk is that Russia will not give me a visa next time I want to go and visit my wife's relatives with her. My hardest work is to read as many history books as possible and news articles from several sources to compare lies and try not to read so many comments myThe Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-57417671541225140512014-03-06T19:13:03.846-06:002014-03-06T19:13:03.846-06:00I was referred to your blog after forwarding on an...I was referred to your blog after forwarding on an article about the "nazis."

Said they were pretty unbiased too.
