My experience with Russian men involved one who, during the Gorbachev era, proudly claimed "I am anti-communist!" and one who jokingly shouted "I love you, let's go to America!" So, um, yeah, more forward. Definitely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The most forthright Russian guy I've ever encountered was on the other side of a vast cultural gulf -- he was repeating "I love niggers!" to us with such glee I thought he was going to wet himself.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
All the Russians I've known were members of my family. I thought it was just, you know, them. Or us. Not that that's me. I don't think.
Anyway, not much for the filter between brain and mouth, in my experience.

Ah ha. Like the young woman I met who was so happy to tell us "my parents were Cossacks!" She didn't realize I'm Jewish.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Always Anti-fascist!
I like Lisah's CD a lot. I am not musically literate enough to write good reviews, however. But, you know, supporting a "hometown girl"...and they are fun songs.

Oh dear. That's like the guy who was trying to pick me up once and slipped about 3 unprovoked anti-Semetic remarks into a 10 minute conversation. I myself am not Jewish, but most of my closest relatives aside from Mom & Dad are.
I only wish I hadn't been too flabbergasted to think of toasting "l'chayim!"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Everyone who was wishing to come to my house was right thinking. Jesse, miss know it all dampercakes, was only halfway right in that I wanted manual labor. I also wanted company and opinions. It is hard hanging a bunch of things on the wall and having to get down from stools and around furniture between each one to make sure things are spaced ok and straight and blah blah blah.
Point is - good day at my house. laundry done and 10 things hung up in the kitchen. I also revisited the paint stripping project in my bathroom that has been dormant for a couple of years. Maybe by the end of teh week I will actually finish it.
