text: I lived in St Petersburg Russia and attended St Petersburg State Technical College for almost 2 years. The Russian people are not our enemies. They are extremely warm and generous people.  Culturally, they are also  light years ahead of the USA with even people outside the population cores having  an understanding of opera, theater, ballet, artwork, and music. The history of the city and the incredible beauty are second to none in the world. 
  
  What the United States did to the Ukraine by fomenting unrest leading to the overthrow of the non compliant president and the placement of a western puppet in his place is not being reported at all in the MSM and what the people here are getting instead is a big pack of Obama lies and cover up. The USA needs to understand that, to Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country. Russian history began in what was called Kievan-Rus. where their religion also began. It's not Russia thats pushed Ukraine to the brink of war ...it's the U.S.
