1. What do Russians think of (anti-Ukraine war) Americans? That is, the people who want it to be quickly resolved so we can dig ourselves out of debt?
2. How religious is Russia? And what do they think of the secular societies of the western nations?
3. Is western literature and media heavily censored?
4. My friend's mom was Russian, and she said that they had to forage for food when she was young. How applicable is that to the general (Soviet-era) Russian population? Was there a lot of scarcity?
5. How is personal liberty there? Certain things that are guaranteed in the US Constitution, such as the 4th amendment (freedom from illegal search and seizure), the 2nd amendment (the right of the people to keep and bear arms), the 1st amendment (freedom of speech), aren't available there. Are those prohibitions nominal? Could someone "get away" with exercising any of those rights, or would it be certain to lead to penalties?

And yes, I know that I mostly echoed the guy below me.
