What do you think about Russians?

Leonardo:
Well, I met some Russian people living in Argentina and they were charming. Really nice people.
Generally speaking, I have a better mental image of Russians than Americans. I know you may think that's because my political beliefs but you would be wrong... in fact, I don't care which is (or was) their government system.
When I consider their history, which I know very little since I usually watch documentaries on TV, I think the Russians are people that actually suffered a lot through history. However I wish them a bright future.
I think its stupid to judge an entire nation if you consider a few people which became notorious because their evil nature. Every nation has dark periods, and people who have ashamed them. I won't give names from other countries than mine because I don't want to start a political debate here. In the particular case of Argentina (my country), probably Videla and Galtieri have been two of the worst "human beings" that become infamous around the world. But that doesn't mean all the argentinians are evil and mean.
