Those are just traitors, who do things better for themselves only. Any examples you can give to prove there was actualy someone who left to make things better for thos who stayed ? I think not.

If you think that people that immigrate are traitors or mail-order brides, then we have nothing to talk about. Read some books, study some history, my friend.

Thought so. Let me guess, you jumped the first foreign "wagon" you saw, just to get as far away from here as possible, am i right ? Or a "mail-order bride" ? F.Y.I. I married after 5 years out of Russia.Some my husband's family left Ireland for North America in the 1820's. The Irish independance movement only really gained any momentum after the American Civil War when union war veterans started sending money and arms back home. By 1926 most of Ireland, 26 of 32 counties were free of British rule. Were my husband' s family traitors to Ireland? If they had not left Ireland would probably still be flying the Union Jack. Want more examples of how ex-pats have served their countries far better from outside than people who stay home and do nothing?

You have very similar sentiments to those of my grandfather and his cronies, only theirs were against the communist regime. All relative to the times you grew up in no doubt. Well he lived to just a few weeks short of his 100th birthday and never did go back. And never lost his love for his rodina either.

And this is how I view others who have chosen to do so...no matter where we are from and who we are. Life is an experience and we all should be able to chose how and where to live

I'm flying to Russia in two days and I'm planning to stay until next summer. It seems like Russians' idea of Russia is often related to its power status. My russian teacher last summer talked about Russia's decline, both politically and morally. She, like russki, thinks that democracy is not a good form of government, but she also thought communism was just as bad. She believes Russia should be governed by a Tsar, because they follow the the Orthodox church. She's a rare one for sure, but it's interesting to me the very different "Russias" people can look back to for identity, and yet it is all "Russia". I hope my language skills get good enough to follow the political debates leading up to next year's election. I wonder if the opposition to Putin will grow in strength enough to really challenge the election?
