That is a disappointment. The purpose of them, imo, was to hold onto connection and shared values, especially in times of national disagreement.
It shouldn't, but that it does speaks more to the politicians at the top, not the sister mayors of their own devices.it is a pity that this local friendships should end now
Yes. My own hometown has 5 sister cities, one of them is Russian. It had not been disassociated.do you know of any US/ Russian sister cities?
Our other sister cities were in Romania, Croatia, Canada and Japan. I never really thought of them as that different from us, other than maybe Japan as that culture was very foreign in my earlier years. Introduced first through origami and simple language ("Konnichiwa, arigato. Hello, thank you"), then later through an historical adversarial lens, and then as a post-war industrial success story. I think that's more than I ever knew about the others. Except maybe Russia. But I still only knew ("Blyat. Damn, politely translated").we also have several sister cities
most important is the French one, but the Russian was always very special.
twas difficult with Baden.BadenOur other sister cities were in Romania, Croatia, Canada and Japan.

what do you mean?DA RUSSIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just the usual Russiaphobia. It's amazing if one understands all the crap the west pulled even after the Cold War.what do you mean?
In this case, I'd say it's the presence of completely opposing values among the two peoples that have led to the "national disagreement," so it makes no sense to pretend there's a friendship going on. The denizens of the Russian Federation want to murder the West.That is a disappointment.
