Today’s Russia is far improved from that time period.

No. It's not. I've been reading interviews with some of the many thousands of Russians who are fleeing Russia. When asked whether they were worried about Russophobia in other countries they said no. Nothing could be worse than the way Russia treated Russians.

It's a horrible place to live. Unless you're an oligarch.

And speaking of a worker's paradise, China ain't the first place that comes to mind either.

I have an entirely different vision for the future of humanity. A much gentler future.

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
