InsaneJournal has been down for the past hour.

I think I'll be staying with our Russian overlords for the time being.

I have to admit I find the automatic "OMGevilRussians" reaction a little too knee-jerk. Might be because of all my Russian blood and being next door to the real thing ;)

I keep thinking the same thing, although for different reasons.

I didn't want to use the X word.

Plus the post CW issues that some of the panic may be linked to.

You may have picked up from my novel that my school was teaching Russian as an option and sneaking bits of Russian culture into other subjects long before most UK schools even considered doing the same.

I kind of got the impression :) On this end, well, helps to have family there.

My friend Anna's sister won a Russian Language competition and spent a long time out there, some of it with the rest of her family visiting, and I got to hear all about it when they came back.

I'm sure Russian companies come with various issues, but it's not like any other country's commerce is perfect either.

lol I did think of that. I was born just a few years before the end of the Cold War, so fortunately I never had to go through the whole "hide under your desk in case of a nuclear bomb" thing. Also one of my aunts went to Russia several times in the early to mid 90's.
