The Problem with Russians

i grew up when russia was the enemy. late 50s, early 60s. russia had a scary looking guy (to a kid) running the country. kruschev, i think that's how you spell his name. it was the era of black and white tv. and classic movies, like the day the earth stood still. russians were viewed with suspicion. russians had a lot spies. i mean if you had the chance to meet a russian, which you didn't then, then that russian would probably have been a spy. to this day, i have this outdated notion biting at my heel.
