Been trying to tell people this exact thing but most are so brainwashed to "Russia Bad", they don't or won't take the time to verify anything.

Russia, NOT the Soviet Union (which no longer exists), has in many cases more freedoms than the US. It's just that people have been so conditioned to think otherwise, no matter what you try to explain, it's automatic hostility to question it.

This woman gets it. She's right.
