Nope, I don't think so? :) Just the way you phrased being born in Russia as 'having a connection to Russia' and some other things I could tell you might be thinking similiar things to me but still something different to me and I want to know what, because fascinating, so I rephrase and repeat to dig *grins*.

Because I got this: that we meant the same thing be a sense of 'ideal' of Russia being imposed, and as part of an 'us against them' mentality, but whilst your brain was analysing what that means for Red Room mine had gone off on what that meant for AU Natasha, who wouldn't have that Red Room sense of being Russian, so what type of Russian would she be? I guess whatever a typical Russian girl growing up at that time would be. (Unless she was part of a maffia or other background with some imposition within that AU, which I know I tend to do, to have some mirror to the hardships she had in her (comics) youth.)

And on the back of what you said there, you've just made me think about the fact that that was imposed on more than one person, on a group, so that Natasha would have a sense of loyalty to the imposed Russian ideal, to Red Room, and perhaps also to the others she was with maybe?
