The Russians leaving Russia for Finland

[Jilly_in_VA]

11. We have a LOT of Russians where I live

A LOT. They bailed out in the last exodus and since. Many of them were Baptists or Mennonites. There is a large Russian Baptist church in Bridgewater, about 20 miles south of here, and a large Russian presence in one of the bigger Mennonite churches southeast of where my house is. Other Russians are just in the community. Some are Jewish, like my dear friend (who happens to live in Raleigh, NC, but that's another story), and others are nothing in particular. We also have Ukrainians. And nobody likes Putin. You can take that to the bank.
