John Brown Dear Anne, With all due respect, I sense a visceral Russophobia in your perceptive and illuminating columns. At the risk of "personalizing" your work, I cannot help but je constate (to cite a French phrase) that your marriage to a brilliant Churchill-pretending, right-wing Polish political figure influences your reporting. Again, I say this out of respect for you, your husband, and your lovely children. S glubokim uvazheniem, john http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Applebaum P.S. May I suggest that a piece by you on wealthy Poles investing abroad (frankly I can't think of any, including your husband) might offset the impression that you are "anti-Russian."
