Would you have travelled to Russia (to live) 30 years ago? Or, would you move to any country that is under control by a communistic government just...

@quitwhendone Famously described by its architect, Verwoerd, as "a policy of good neighbourliness." I was motivated by one famous visitor's observation that "everything they say about that country is true." And the act of visiting despite widespread moral boycott struck me as the ultimate intellectual nonconformist gesture.

I was offered a state department job in St. Petersburg, Russia once. I turned it down. Didn't want to live there.
