On the other hand, I've little love for the Russian state, in any of its more or less recent forms. And returning to Russia, for me, almost unquestionably means fighting for that state, which I would not.
But we digress.

No I don't. I know of a fair number Russians who bitch about Russia in its present state, in its past state and about their own people. I have met a fair few who loathe being Russian and try to find anything possible to distance themselves from their birthright. These same people don't say anything positive about Russia/fUSSR.
As an emigre surely you must admit that not all things were bad in USSR.
What bugs me about Glazov is he resides in Canada as far as I can make out yet he writes such anti-Canadian rhetoric. As for the interview it mertis investigation. Like I said I found other stuff by the interviewee that suggests ISG maybe didn't follow stuff up. For what ends who knows.
