from Russia:
It is very interesting title of this topic. Of course, Russians love the Poles more than Poles love Russians. And in one topic here I read "I wondered that Russians now other than before".
No, I must to tell you (I can do it, i am 52 old woman), Russians loves Poles always and before even better. There is difference between people and state systems (although state system made by people too).
But really in Soviet union people loved Poles too much. People couldn't go abroad, just sometimes to Germany, Bulgaria, Poland and other socialist countries. From all socialist countries better women were in Poland-more beautiful, elegant, with charm.
My mother after travel trip to Germany and Poland too much told about Polish women.
Polish culture was so closer to us.

CZERWONE GITARY with their «Nie mow nic» !!!
"Four tankmen and dog"-every year Russian TV showed this film and every year we with big interest saw this film.
Parfum "Byt mozet". We could spent too much time at shop for waiting this parfum.
it was dream for soviet woman to get this parfum.
Even on Russian TV during long time we could see very interesting show "Kabachok 13 ctuliev" or "Bar of 13 chears", where artists played by Polish names and about polish life...
And therefore strange, very unpleasant to listen bad words about Russian people.
Soviet system-russian people lived worse than people of socialist countries, Soviet syctem didn't take care even own sitizens.
Now -yes, more opened and democratic Goverment and liders of Russia but anyhow people really with Poland espesialy old generation...
