It's not that I consider myself or Russians or any other group of people to be in a position to think of everyone else as being in an ivory tower. But there are certainly some Cold-War era myths and concepts that are still alive and kicking. Maybe because today's Russia is culturally really not a very significant country and there is not much interest in what was going on here in XX century...

OK, I admit, this was off-topic...
