The Myth about Russian “Aggression”

Recently I went on a 15 day visit to Russia organized by the Center for Citizen Initiatives.  The group visited Moscow, the Crimean peninsula, Krasnodar (southern Russia) and St. Petersburg.  In each location we met many locals and heard diverse viewpoints. CCI has a long history promoting friendship and trying to overcome false assumptions between citizens of the USA and Russia. The founder Sharon Tennison has focused on making people-people connections including the business community, Rotary clubs, etc..
