All we know is that, at times, fighting the Russians, we had to remove the piles of enemy bodies from before our trenches, so as to get a clear field of fire against new waves of assault.
The Russians obtained a number of plants under Lend-Lease, which had been authorized by Washington, that I thought were not justified for their war effort. They wanted them for postwar use.
We as Americans should all be concerned with the smearing of the Trump administration and unfounded allegations of collusion with the Russians.
The real concern for the Russians is that they’re going to get closed out, that there’s gong to be a new ‘Iron Curtain’… for European expansion and all of its institutional forms.
The Russians are not as addicted to coffee as the Americans. We should work on that!
The Russians invaded Georgia in 2008 and my mum got stuck and had to be airlifted back to the capital by the UN because she’d left her passport at my grandparents. It was absolutely terrifying and it’s why I always carry my passport in my handbag now.
The Russians imitate French ways, but always at a distance of fifty years.
Like most Russians, I am very superstitious, and if I don’t get married, I don’t get divorced.
Not to get political, but it seems like every day I read the paper, and you’re reading about nuclear war and Russians taking over the country and Nazis again. It’s like every once in a while, the world blinks for a second, and it goes, ‘Darkseid is!’ The world has changed, and it’s changed in a ‘Darkseid is’ way.
There was a lot of prejudice towards Russians in Latvia. When I went to school, often Latvians didn’t like me, and Russians and Latvians didn’t like Americans, so that was a whole other prejudice.
I’m against lifting any sanctions on the Russians.
During the Cold War, America undertook serious military cuts only once: after the election of Richard Nixon, during the Vietnam War. The result: Vietnam fell to the Communists, the Russians moved into Afghanistan, and American influence around the globe waned dramatically.
It is practically certain that sometime during 1958, either the Russians or we, and most likely both, are going to shoot a rocket to the moon.
I’ve boxed many people in their own backyard plenty of times – in China, I boxed a Chinese girl in the final of the world championships, and I’ve boxed Russians before in their home nation as well.
In February 2016, Russia arrested seven alleged ISIS militants who were plotting attacks in St. Petersburg and Moscow. The group included Russians and Central Asians and a ringleader who had come from Turkey.
The remarkable thing about the Chinese is that they’ve operated differently than the Russians, the Iranians, and the North Koreans. By and large, they have not done destructive hacks.
The difference between our decadence and the Russians’ is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.
We are evolving as one species – not only as Americans, Syrians, Russians, Chinese, and jihadists. We cannot attack one without inflicting forms of violence and destruction upon ourselves. This is our new reality.
In the 1930s, there were so many different conflicts going on between the British, the French, the Russians, the Germans, the Spaniards, the Romanians and so on.
If people know anything about Russians, we do things really over the top. We wear high heels everywhere. We show up in the most extravagant outfits. I am just embodying how I was raised and what I grew up in. Some people might think we’re extra; I just think we’re ravishing.
There should be a response, clearly, if there was meddling. And it does appear that there was some, and therefore, we perhaps should wait for our own investigation by Mr. Mueller to continue and to come to a conclusion before we begin to take steps regarding the Russians.
The Russians are taunting the IOC with the homophobic laws that they pass.
All the arrows continue to point to a personal, political, and financial relationship that Donald Trump had with the Russians.
What the Russians did in the election in 2016 was clearly short of war, yet it was a pretty aggressive act to go into another country’s voting system.
Let me speak for myself: The Russians are not our friends.
The Russians are extreme people: they are generous but crazy at the same time. They always have something to say, and I really like that.
No, the people standing before Christ and Pilate during the judgment scene do not condemn an entire race for the death of Christ anymore than the actions of Mussolini condemn all Italians, or the heinous crimes of Stalin condemn all Russians.
I don’t think Estonians ever really hated Russians. It was more, ‘Leave us alone.’ We can’t change what is past. We can’t blame them for what their parents have done. We never hated them. They didn’t destroy us that bad.
On Putin’s order, corrupt apparatchiks and crony oligarchs rob Russians of their nation’s wealth and resources.
Russians are very discerning about ballet. They’re very opinionated about what classical ballet is.
The Soyuz craft weighs tons, and you’re lying on the floor of it on your back. But the Russians do tell you, remember, before you land, stop talking so you don’t bite your tongue off.
People knew Trump had strange relationships with the Russians even before he was elected. Consequently, there is every reason to investigate whether Donald Trump is a Russian asset.
I can remember in early elementary school when the Russians launched the first satellite. There was still so much unknown about space. People thought Mars was probably populated.
Putin offered to allow American investigators to interview the 12 Russian intelligence agents just indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in exchange for allowing Russians to have access to me and those close to me.
Russians can give you arms but only the United States can give you a solution.
We think that without cooperation with the Russians, we cannot achieve our goals.
Russians didn’t elect Trump. Even if there was collusion, even if every hypothesis that has – that is at play in the Russia investigation is proved, still, Americans elected Trump, and he is president.
Every military scenario that the Russians basically engage in their annual exercises, either on their western or eastern flank, always involved some kind of local revolt pulling in outside forces.
We didn’t push the Russians to intervene, but we knowingly increased the probability that they would.
Cyprus has a reputation as a laundromat for the Russians who are trying to avoid sanctions.
I got no support from USA Wrestling. I was competing against professional Russians that do nothing but wrestle for a living, and I was forced to take a job working for this lowlife loser, John du Pont, who I didn’t want in my life. I just wanted the money.
If the Russians masterminded fraud for 40 years at the highest state level in sports, operating behind the scenes to corrupt sports, what else are they capable of?
The narrative often from Democrats and the media is that Republicans don’t think the Russians have meddled in our election. They did.
The Russians are clearly a big adversary, and they demonstrated it by trying to mess around in our election.
The Russians are a very sentimental people.
The fake news is – I mean, as a tool of warfare – has been there for decades and decades and decades. It was never very well done until, really, the Ukraine, though I would say that the Russians used to complain about fake things to say the State Department.
The Russians have been waging wars with these separatists since the 19th century, but for obvious reasons, Chechen separatist terrorism tends to be carried out by Chechens.
‘In the nineteenth century, we beat the British more than once,’ Afghans often told me. ‘In the twentieth century, we beat the Russians. In the twenty-first, if we have to, we’ll beat the Americans!’
Most correspondents came from the former colonial powers – there were British, French, and a lot of Italians, because there were a lot of Italian communities there. And of course there were a lot of Russians.
Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don’t express that freedom on a public platform.
I have a good relationship with Russians, and with Americans. So I’m neutral.
We learn to laugh from the cultures that suffered most – from the Russians, Poles, and Irish – not from Sweden or France (the French go for Jerry Lewis – enough said).
We want to have a great relationship with the Chinese, we want a great relationship with the Russians.
The Russians didn’t invent partisan divides. The Russians haven’t invented racism in the United States. But the Russians understand a lot of those divisions and they understand how to exploit them.
As far as the Russians were concerned, I felt the reverse; they had adequate gold, if they wanted to buy, and they weren’t dependent upon international trade. I felt they were more self-sufficient.
The United States can tell you all about what’s wrong with the British, to say nothing of the Russians.
I think Russians today have a distorted picture of capitalism, liberal democracy and market economy.
I think what we’re learning with the Trump Jr. meeting is when you meet with any Russians, you’re meeting with Russian intelligence. And, therefore, President Putin.
