In college, I was able to study about Russia and the Baltic Republics, and had the opportunity to travel to Moscow. My father not only taught French at the university, he also taught Russian. He loved Leningrad (Saint Petersburg). Russian culture holds significant importance to global civilization. The Red Army’s heroic defiance of Nazi Germany played a crucial role in saving humanity. Despite the tragic sabotage of socialism by Josef Stalin, the ideals remains a notable contribution to the world. Mikhail Gorbachev (Luce Index™ rank 94) played an essential role in opening the Soviet empire to the world. Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian regime does not represent all Russians, and his influence will not last forever.
