That's funny, I asked a woman here if she was Russian awhile back and I thought she was going to shoot me. She's Ukrainian and a Cossack of the western area. I have a friend who I chat with in the banya who is from Ashkabad and says he is Russian.

What I really don't understand is the conflict in Georgia, what in the hell is the history of that place? I know there has always been a lot of wars there, Russia has been the only country able to keep a lid on it for a long while.
