I think, being Russian myself, that what they want most of all, is exactly
what they have NOT received, and that is OPEN ARMS OF WELCOME!! Russians are
an emotional people and they hurt easily, what worries me is how hurt are
they by Adyars rejection of them, and by Radha Burnier's inexcusable
arrogance towards them. We Russians have a tendency to react to a perceived
slight by turning away from it. Russia, and Russians, have always felt that
the West was contemptuous of Russia and they have always deeply resented
that fact. This is just more fuel for the fire!
