My husband’s grandparents -maternal and paternal were Russian Jewish immigrants . My maternal grandfather’s parents were Russian Jewish immigrants. They all loved America.were the best of America. And they didn’t hate Russia. My grandfather was a connoisseur of Russian culture. He loved Tchaikovsky,Prokofiev,Rachmaninov,Nureyev,Pavlova,Tolstoy,Dostoyevsky,Pasternak,the candy striped minarets,Faberge’,Stravinsky,Rubenstein..I was a child when he introduced me to all of this. Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf was the first. He had an instinctive ability to find the “ hook” that appealed to a child. And he had no money! He had pride. I think that and discipline were the facets of Russian culture that are ingrained. Not the Marxist ideology of collectivism and envy that resulted in serfdom.
Russian culture demands a work ethic, regardless of class caste. Discipline. The chess masters, Olympians. They’re very different than other Eastern European nations.But what pisses me off to the izzo is that Putin was very Jewish and Israel friendly.. and the Biden admin destroyed the relationship deliberately. Putin’s unusual support stemmed from his childhood. He grew up in a primarily Jewish neighborhood . His father was a tyrant and looked for any reason to take his anger out on Putin. His Jewish neighbors were aware and provided comfort and his Jewish teacher knew what he dealt with at home. She mentored him . He never forgot. When antisemitism again became unbearable, she fled to Israel.She had nothing.But was shocked to learn there was an apartment ready for her. It was quite a mystery.She was elderly and alone. Years later, there was s knock on her door and the man outside was a stranger. He smiled and said ,” You don’t recognize me.I used to have hair”.And she knew.Fuck Biden.Fuck the Dimms and fuck the globalist deep state warmongering liars.They are behind the Hamas attack Israel/Gaza War and the provocation that culminated in the Russia/Ukraine War
I heard that the reason the Russians win a lot in UFC and boxing is because they do a lot of outdoor training, and probably spent more time outside than lots of other fighters. Also there is the Russian boxing style and the Russian training methods. Dimitry Bivol is the most beautiful, relaxed fighter I have watched in boxing, so graceful in the ring. When I need to relax in a stressful situation, I think of him, of relaxing my back muscles.

My ancestors in Russia had the surname Pick. This is a beautiful tribute to your Picks. Who picked you. . . Maybe we are related?
