While I appreciate the offer to meet your cute Russian friend, I know
plenty of Russians. My sample is skewed by the fact that they're all tech
workers who have for one reason or another left Russia. The one I know who

Russia. I don't know a single one who is nearly as much of a knee-jerk
supporter of Russia and Putin as Zen is.
