  ...and the man-eater bears  came on Moscow streets  from  the same
source,  i  think.  You    know    nothing   about    centuries   of
russian-french   relationships,  so  you  disgrace  yourself.  These
"wild cossacks"  were no more wild then french
"cirrassirs", because
our  two countries were so close, as two fingers on one hand  before
the  french  revolution (and  after),  and  were  fighting  together
against  the enemies (factically in all  wars, except the Napoleon's
time).
