How would the Russians find enough grain to feed the western female bovine that come through?
Although frankly, I think western europeans are pretty productive as a people. Based on GDP per capita rankings.
The ironic thing is the western europeans most suited for making russia better are probably germans with their productivity and efficiency.
It would make sense. East Germany was generally more productive and advanced than the rest of the Soviet Union. Even Russia.
And much of the Russian and Baltic aristocracy was German. The World Wars and Revolution changed all that of course. But still.
Prior to WW1 Germans were the people most adapted to and with a deeper understanding of slavic culture. German culture seems to be a nice balance for the excesses and fatalism of slavic culture. The right balance between the two cultures would be pretty powerful. Not sure it can ever happen though.
Germany was pretty damn powerful. So powerful that what it did/does drew the attention from the other European/European-derived powers. Hence why it battled France, Britain, America, and Russia. Often having to make due with less than stellar allies.
Even now it has ended up being the Boss of Europe again.
German people in the United States were also a big deal. Very fecund and proud of their heritage (often Germanizating their communities). However the anti-German sentiment in World War 1 ended much of that.
