Amazingly, quite a few people, even some American conservatives, are taken in by Russian tactics.
The repeated announcements that the Russian resistance was definitely broken have been proved to be untrue.
I’m a first generation American. My mother is Italian and Russian and a lot of other things, and my father is Uruguayan. In fact, my mother’s been married twice, and both men were Uruguayan. So I grew up in a very European/Latin American-influenced home.
It would be sad if the expertise built up during the 40 years of the U.S. and Russian manned programmes were allowed to dissipate. But abandoning the shuttle, and committing to new launch vehicles and propulsion systems, is actually a prerequisite for a vibrant manned programme.
I grew up reading the classic novels of Cold War espionage, and I studied Russian history and Soviet foreign policy.
I no longer remember when I started speaking to Raffi in Russian. I didn’t speak to him in Russian when he was in his mother’s womb, though I’ve since learned that this is when babies first start recognizing sound patterns.
It does not take a lawyer or even a former federal prosecutor like myself to conclude that investigating Donald Trump’s finances or his family’s finances falls completely outside of the realm of his 2016 campaign and allegations that the campaign coordinated with the Russian government or anyone else.
I’m worried about privacy issues, I’m worried about Russian attacks. They literally, if you if you look at what their insidious aims are – to divide this country, is to make us hate each other, to make us not to trust media.
When I am teaching, I first give out Tolstoy’s ‘Childhood,’ his first published book. It is so transparent. It gives you exactly what it was like to be on a Russian estate in 1830. You are there. And that is the hope when you sit down and write still, I think – that you can transmit something of what life is like now.
I was born in Budapest, Hungary, and moved to the United States in 1956. It was during the Hungarian Revolution when Russian tanks rolled into Budapest, and my family – me, my brother, and my parents – escaped over the border to Austria. We just took whatever we could carry. It was perilous, but we made it across.
I have no doubt that there are Russian efforts to disturb the fabric of American democracy, but they’re disruption efforts. They’re troublemaking efforts. They’re also not illegal.
‘Russian Ark,’ I adore – I almost cried at the end of that film, it’s so beautiful.
I jabbered too much in class about all the Russian writers whom I admired for being, among other things, uncouth and somewhat humorously melodramatic, such as Gogol and Dostoyevsky, just as it was in my own household when I was growing up.
The music we’re playing now is based on my heritage, which is Russian, Romanian and Hungarian.
There have been a lot of questions since the 2016 U.S. election about Russian interference in the electoral process.
By the winter of 1945-1946, the Russian peoples were being warned of the dangers from the West.
I was 8 years old in the spring of 1945 when my family fled Silesia to escape the Russian army. On our way, we passed through Dresden. A few days later, it was firebombed. The fire was so bright that night that one could read a newspaper from the light, though we were many kilometers away.
The premise of Russian foreign policy to the West is that the rule of law is one big joke; the practice of Russian foreign policy is to find prominent people in the West who agree.
For the Russian masses, the proletarians, knew for certain, and already saw during the war, and in part before their very eyes, that the peasants would soon be on their side.
Russia has had very aggressive military exercises. They’ve practiced mock nuclear attacks on Warsaw. Russian bombers practiced attacking strategic military targets in Sweden. The military aggression gets everybody nervous.
I really wanted to go Russia. I’m really interested in Russian history, so I’d like to go and put a face to what I’ve read.
Our expectation is that the Russian Federation does its part to protect its own citizens in full respect of human rights principles.
Reformist kings can save their dynasties now by helping their countries move smoothly into democracy, or they will end their years in exile like the Russian aristocrats of a century earlier.

I trained in every form of dance – started as a tap dancer when I was a kid, then contemporary, ballet, ballroom, everything. Russian, Swedish.
Our part of Poland was under Russian occupation from 1939-1941.
We don’t have the unity that other races like Turkish, Russian and Yugoslavs have. If Iranians become more united, not only will we succeed in football but in our personal lives too.
I have another Russian idea, too, with a place and a period, so I guess I have enough to keep me busy for quite some time, especially considering that I’m such a slow writer.
All of us who are flying on international space stations speak some Russian and speak some English. Both the languages are needed to fly in a Russian spacecraft and communicate with your colleagues.
The Russian people get so insanely close to each other as friends. Their lives are interrelated so much on an everyday basis.
I’m so happy to be a part of Russian MMA history by headlining the first UFC event in Russia.
There is no such thing as Russian fascism. You won’t find a single Russian who considers Russians to be a superior race and who advocate expulsion of aliens.
Russian young people spend countless hours online downloading videos and having a very nice digital entertainment lifestyle, which does not necessarily turn them into the next Che Guevara.
I definitely feel Russian. I feel Russian, but at the same time when I’m in the States I feel at home, too.
I grew up in East Germany, so we had to learn Russian in school… everybody hated it. I never thought it would come in handy… And being an actor, I’ve been able to use it quite a bit.
We certainly would not be here, living and working on the International Space Station without the commitment and dedication of all the folks who worked the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo Programs as well as the Russian Space Program.
I’m like the Russian Tyra Banks.
To me, when – just like when you watch a movie or you watch a TV show, to me, you know, Nicole Kidman or Leonardo DiCaprio, you know that they are actors, but also, great actors find that extension of themselves. So, when I walk through that curtain, I find the extension of myself of being the Ravishing Russian in there.
When the Georgian army started this assault against the sleeping city of Tskhinvali, the Georgian peacekeepers, serving in one contingent with their Russian friends, joined the army and started killing the Russian comrades in arms.
Yevtushenko is a high member of his country’s establishment, and he lies terribly about the United States to his Russian readers.
Iran is part of the problem, not the solution. And the Russian government is ignoring reality.
Bill Gates finds people in Russia to hire them to Microsoft. That’s the Russian interest in this process.
The Russian leadership doesn’t operate in the same way as ours does. Informal networks have a much more important role to play than formal networks.
The Russian revolution was to an unprecedented degree the cause of the proletariat of the whole world becoming more revolutionary.
I just love bikes. It’s not the safest passion to have, but I guess it’s better than Russian roulette.
I guess it’s the Russian side of me that takes me a long time to get close to people.
I took a 19th-century Russian novel class in college and have been smitten with Russian literature ever since. Writers like Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Grossman, and Solzhenitsyn tackle the great questions of morality, politics, love, and death.
Musical chairs or Russian roulette? Sometimes there’s as much tense drama in the casting of a Hollywood movie as there is in the finished product.
Once I stop being a citizen of the U.S.S.R., I will not stop being a Russian poet.
The principle of evil in Europe is the enervating spirit of Russian absolutism.

CrowdStrike stands fully by its analysis and findings identifying two separate Russian intelligence-affiliated adversaries present in the DNC network in May 2016.
As my name might suggest, I’m Jewish. My grandparents were Polish and Russian Jews who came to Australia in the late 1920s, and had they not, we wouldn’t be talking now.
I was sent to Russia in 1994 by the Clinton administration to meddle in Russian elections and stayed seven years doing it.
I’ve scrubbed many, many landmarks. I scrubbed the Kremlin back in ’98. We had a mandatory-toothbrushing parade; we had the text of the mandatory-toothbrush law translated into Russian. And we had like 30 Russians; we had musicians; we had the giant toothbrushes. The police came and told us to stop, and we stopped.
