Well, although it meant to be a bit of humor I just can't resist to make some comments.
Your mention about the war looks kind of ridiculous. It was 1776, right? But we, here in Russia, too well remember 1941, 22 June, which is a bit closer to nowadays. I haven't seen both my grandfathers, which were killed under Moscow, we have lost more than 20 millions of people in that war. What now? That's a history. There are particular persons to blame and to praise. What people, and especially particular language have to do with all the things we are talking about?
Your granfather's spoke russian correct ? and the war in 1941 was was not a russian revolution ...... That would be 1917 the bolshevik revolution if my poor memory severs me correct...... The point is you made a crack about americans not wanting to look at there british roots in the english launauge. So I say you should not look at the bolshevik's in your launguage as any one knows not to fight russia in the winter.... As you will soon freeze to death....... and you have railroads that our off gauge :)
