In 1980, being rushing russian was the worst thing that you can be. I was sentenced to eight years of hubris school that for a crime i did not commit. When i was sentenced there, it was so bad being a russian, being a commie, i had to pretend that i was born in east berlin. I was trying to convince german kids there that i was german. [laughter] 10 years later, i show up at oberlin college, this small Marxist College in ohio. Being an immigrant was the coolest thing you could imagine.
