a Russian salad

We ate (a version of that?) in San Sebastian. Mmm, really nice accompaniment.

3 year wait for a lada car

A Russian Bloke I know went into the showroom and ordered a new Lada. Sat down with the salesman, chose the spec, paid his money and the salesman said we can deliver that on such and such a date, 3 years and two months from then.
The bloke said 'will that be morning or afternoon', salesman said 'does it really matter'?, Bloke said 'well, it's just that the plumbers coming in the morning'.

A bloke went into a Russian takeaway. They took him away.

really put these links up with evidence of where this determined opposition would come from

Why don't you put links up to support your argument? You said everybody thinks etc. I just said not everybody does. In the media there are commentators who say Putin should have been opposed more strongly, others disagree.

Crop failures and drought also caused a lot of food shortages.

Not to mention Stalin's collectivisation of agriculture, and the liquidation of the kulaks.
