Anthropologically speaking, our exit ramps are not applicable to their highways, if you’ll forgive that stupid metaphor?”</p><p>He quickly alights on a more elegant turn of phrase: “It’s two different fairy tales, as the Poles say.”&nbsp;</p><p>In Russia, the west seems to forget it is not seeing a mirror nation-state to its own.
