Kids of my generation were fed a steady diet of the "Soviet evil empire" narrative, but things have changed substantially since the cold war days. A little older and wiser me realizes that neither side is innocent in this conflict. There is history of bad blood as Stalin starved about 4 million Ukrainians in the Holomodor in an effort to quell the country's nationalism. And yet, NATO's slow, but steady advancement in eastern Europe, along with the Obama administration installing a western gov't in Ukraine in 2014 is obviously viewed by Russia as a threat to their sovereignty.

The US didn't exactly roll over when the Soviets tried sending nukes to Cubs.

Politics aside, the few Russian people I've met in life are wonderful.
