Who was it who told you this? Russia--the one that I am familiar with--never had an emperor. [And desperate for attention... that could describe a lot of people.]
So they are a sub-species? [One quick look at the image is quite enough. Thank whatever powers exist that the Enterprise has never encountered one of those.] No, answering that is unnecessary. I will not mention these things again.
Surely you know what it is like to be passionate about a goal. You would not fight if you didn't. [Cain would not be the first to check Chekov's faith in the United Federation of Planets and Starfleet. Fortunately, he is aware of his tendency to be too loyal, even if that awareness seldom translates itself into actual caution.] I will believe in the Federation until there are reasons to abandon that belief. It is far from perfect, but it improves as its collective members improve understanding and communication between one another.
This is good advice, however. It sounds like something that my father would say, but he is not so fond of any governing force outside of our country.
