When in early 2022 Russia decided to invade Ukraine, the Western world, especially the Anglo-American World, went kind of mad - with anger, fury, and some justified rage. But it also made a strange attempt not just to restore international peace, but to cancel a whole country, Russia, the great Russian cultures that stretch back 1000+ years. It went too far - and continues to go too far. So today on the Burning Archive, Jeff Rich asked what are the reasons not to cancel Russia. What are the gifts of Russia we can be grateful for? How can we put an end to Russophobia in a multipolar world.
