About 30 years ago I boarded the Delta 4.5 hour flight from Atlanta to LA. I had a first class window. Was pleased to see a gorgeous 35-something gal on the aisle. Long black hair, ice-blue eyes, ample chest, low-cut blouse. She was Russian traveling from Kiev to San Fran through LA. She spoke English well with an accent I found sexy. She smelled like alcohol and body odor, which was not a bad thing. During the flight she put down about six double vodkas and lectured me the whole time (with a smile) about being an imperialist. She sounded like Pravda, accused US of "engaging in mischief" around the world and "fostering hegemony", stuff like that. She bemoaned the collapse of the Soviet Union and said the "sub-humans" in the republics won't be able to govern themselves without Russian help. One thing she said that always stuck with me is Russians hate no longer being the other super-power and someday a strong leader will emerge and get Russia back on track. She considered Gorbachev a traitor and said Russia needed an "issen-man" (iron-man) to set things right. When Putin came to power years later I was like "Uh Huh", he is supported by people like her. BTW, she was born and raised in Kiev, but referred to Ukraine as being "Russian".
