Description:
The following topics are discussed: Are the Russian people friendly? Are they afraid of their own government? Are they afraid of the American government? Is there a revival of religion in Russia? How do Russians living standards compare with American living standards? It is agreed by all that it would be helpful to the interests of American foreign policy if more Russians could visit this country and see for themselves who we are and how we live.
