I caught this article over the weekend. I found the article to be extremely ironic, and it was definitely interesting to see at least one Russian columnist's perception of American culture, churches, and education. At the same time, the article makes you want to cry.
A few months ago, a local TV news anchor was grilled for mentioning the "M word" to then Sen. Bid*n in an interview. Talk was that she had put her career in jeopardy for even bringing up the subject. What are the critics thinking now?
(Please excuse me for the photos that accompany articles on the Pravda website. Just another glimpse at post soviet culture, I suppose.)

I can't disagree that some of those things are happening, and that at least half of our country seems to be happy about it. However, many Russians still think of us as their enemy from the Cold War and see all of this as payback. They're happy to see us suffer and would be happy to see our country decend into nothingness. There may be some points of truth in what he said, but there is also a lot of bitterness and propaganda.
