Nah, I know how it is (somewhat) . Most of my life I've had social relationships with at least some Soviet or Russian immigrants, as friends and as people to practice my terrible Russian with. They're usually not even fun to talk politics with because after observing American politics for awhile they seem to come to the conclusion that politics is stupid. It seems like living in Russia would do the same thing to you. I'm just fascinated with the Belt and Road, so I was wondering if it had a place in Russia's collective imagination.

I will never forget having an older Soviet couple sit me down when I was 8 or 9 and explain how they hated Gorbachev for ruining the Soviet Union.
