31 people murdered by a suicide bomber at a Russian airport to-day.
Has any people had a more tragic history than the Russians? Just in the past 200 years, they have been invaded by Napoleon, suffered huge losses in WW I, 1917 Revolution, 20 million people disappeared under Stalin, starved 7 million Ukrainians to death, 28 million died during The Great Patriotic War, lost the Cold War, defeated in Afghanistan, etc.
I met a few Russians living in Canada (yes, they all cheer for Russia when they play Canada in hockey) and they never seem to be very happy. Most of them seem to work in construction.
