Many thanks or this review. As it happened, I was in the USSR on a student trip about the same time (1971) and met some Ukrainian students who made it very clear that they were NOT Russian. Regarding the present inflation and possible energy sanctions, one problem I've not seen discussed anywhere is that the Biden administration has punted on the task of educating the American public regarding how inflation increases happen rather naturally during times of disruption; and how prices also come down. The news media are pretty useless regarding this problem, so the general public is stuck with remotes of TV reporters in front of daily gas price signs at service stations.
