Its always the pessimistic ones you have to be weary off. When I think of russians the first thing that comes to mind is WW2 and how they pushed back the fascist out of their motherland and marched right into Germany like true conqueror's. If that aint optimism then what is?

At Allied conferences the squat, pockmarked, non intellectual Stalin looked unimpressive. But he was a wily negotiator. Britain's Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden wrote: 'If I had to pick a team for going into a conference room, Stalin would be my first choice...."He never stormed, he was seldom even irritated. Hooded, calm, never raising his voice...he got what he wanted.
