Little known fact is that John Paul Jones served in the Russian navy under Catherine the Great, but was expelled by her when he was accused of sexual promiscuity with one of her staff.

Nice to remember that the countries actually used to get along with each other for most of history. I wish our politicians worked more on restoring good relations between our nations!

It is a fascinating fact which almost none is aware of in the West – Russia abolished serfdom 4 years before US stopped slavery. Thanks for the video, Ludmila.
