A reasonable viewpoint and such a great magazine
In a time where all you hear about is doom and gloom from that part of the world, it's nice to get a different perspective that is more in depth. Russian Life shows you the people and the culture beyond what is promoted in the media from both countries. Having visited the country and found Russians to be people just like everywhere else (albeit not as smiley in public as most Americans) the stories and pictures help give context to viewpoints that I had never imagined much less considered. It's a joy to read and the photography is really top notch as well.
