Ten things Russians hate about America.

I have followed the Ushanka Show YT channel, since Chernobyl came out, on HBO.
Ushanka is a US resident, born in Ukraine and raised in the Soviet Union. His channel has tons of great content on growing up in the Soviet Union, I find all of it very interesting.
#5 on the list is about Alaska and how the Russians saw the agreement as more of a...lease.😳 I know we joke about Trump handing over Alaska, for the first time I think they are dead serious, and he will happily hand it over.😳
