I'm impressed to learn that Lex is truly concerned and has strong feelings about the future of Russia. I have never before heard anyone articulate such a feeling. <br>The closest might have been Aleksandr Isayevich Solzhenitsin, who moved to the US for a while but, it was reported, deeply missed his home country and eventually returned there. <br>However, to my knowledge, Solzhenitsin did not speak publicly in any detail about his love of and hopes for Mother Russia.
