[QUOTE="green slime, post: 404399, member: 1325"] This is getting of topic and I apologize. Strange then that my Serbian friend, and my Croat friend can understand some basic Russian, without ever having studied the language. How close do want them to be to be called close? Dialects? I never suggested it was like American "English" and the Queens English. Yugoslavia distanced itself from the Warsaw pact very early in the peace... But they did maintain ties with the Russians. Had Yugoslavia been "liberated" by the Russians it would have been a different story. Instead they managed to kick the Germans out of their country themselves, with a little help from events elsewhere. Also remember that in 1914 the Russians declared war on Austria-Hungary to defend Serbia. And that many Russians today regard Serbia as Russia's "little brother", a reason why Russia was so interested in the Balkan wars of the 90's. I was moderating your statement that appeared to claim that the entire of Eastern Europe would rather have been Nazi than under the control of Soviet Russia. Some countries suffered more than others under the yoke of Soviet Russia. Poland was one of the worst. But ask the Poles today how many Jews live there, compared to in 1939... And ask those Polish Jews who they would rather have in charge: Russians or Nazi's... Remember it all comes down to people. There are those people in Eastern Europe today, who still believe that they and their countries were better off during the cold war. Even in Poland. [/QUOTE]
