Once more unto the breachHence, I shall shortly be moving to greener pastures.

In Defence of RussiaRussia, the Great Bear of the East, is today widely vilified here in the West. Not for any good, logical reason, but just because it’s a foreign country and there’s a long history of mutual antipathy. However, we should, and we must, put aside these old prejudices and realise that Russia has never had it so good, and our relations with her have never been so full of promise.In Defence of Russia
