Does the awarding of Russia's highest civilian honor to a former US citizen and Soviet spy show the real fact

that Russia is still ingrained in the Cold War era? Putin a former KGBer gives the Hero of the Rusian Federation award to Dr. George Koval a Soviet spy who when in the US ingrained himself in the Mahattan Project. Koval's spying helped the USSR develop a atom bomb quicker than any other nuclear nation thanks to data taken from the Mahattan Project. Another example of Putin wanting to reopen the cold war era.

    It's sad to say but Russia does appear to be backtracking. Putin is definitely not our friend. Hopefully their next leader won't be such a Commie.

    I have said that Russia could not be trusted. The Cold War never ended for guys like Putin.

    Did you really expect less of a former head of the KGB? I didn't.
