All of Russia's numerous accomplishments are over-shadowed by the disregard Russians have for their own people...I admire Russians in so many ways but where's the shame when their own women and children are abandoned and/or sold abroad into slavery? What are Russians waiting for to correct the problem- another revolution? This lack of national consciousness allows self-righteous, inferior cultures around Russia to pass judgement on all of Russia's society.
