I’d say the main Russian crime as seen by Democrats and other warmongers in the US is the difference in understanding of the Cold War I finale. Russians, in general, never ascertain themselves as losers in this war, they reckon the dissolution of the USSR a tragic fit that hit the Shan, while American neocons consider themselves triumphant victors, always forgetting that it was Gorbachev who unexpectedly jumpstarted the Perestroika: no one in CIA think tanks was able to discuss this scenario with such prophetic audacity as, say, Lewis Shiner in Frontera or Marc Stiegler in David’s Sling.
