Russia have had a hostile relationship. During the Col War, there were times that both America and the Soviet Union were on the brink of a Nuclear War. Eventually as the Soviet Union fell and the new Russian government was established hostility began to arise again.

shipped off to the dreaded Siberian gulags between 1936 and '38. Perhaps the Soviet psyche suffered just as much damage, as an entire nation and its attendant culture sank into a deep-seated paranoia and a frightened submission to the state, the effects of which are still being felt in Russia today.

Does being clever make it likely that human beings as a species will survive for a long time? Far from it, Chomsky suggests. The problem is that we look at the world through a set of beliefs and values that prevent us acting in our own long term interests.
