I think NeedsANap hit on something! Do you think it's because of the Cold War, and even the superpower standoffs of the 80s, that some people think that it's an insult (for lack of a better word) to be called Russian? Maybe?
Growing up, we were always afraid of Russians. Every movie had Russian enemies and bombs. But I guess, I was still very young when the Soviet Bloc collapsed, so when we were in Moscow, part of me was thinking "hee, hee. I've penetrate the Iron Curtain, and I'm going to get some Soviet secrets".
