I was born in Russia, and lived there for acouple years. I've moved to the US, and I live there now. I've seen two different views from Americans and Russians.

Many Russians I've talked to are friendly and helpful towards all people. They've asked me how US was and always wanted to live there. Russian people aren't consider that rich, they take what they have.
When I've moved to the US, SOME people did give me negative comments that Im a spy and cruel jokes. I was suprised by this.
So why do some people act like this? I do admit, I hate the Russian gvt, but not the people. So then, why do some Americans think Russia is such a cruel mistaken country?
Overall I think people take too much for granted, and think as they see things on TV.
