Compared to the humanoids who carry the snakes in their bellies (Jaffa for the Stargate uninitiated), the Russians are cake. At least they do research - no false gods keeping them down.

At least they have some ingenuity - again, no false gods having whipped them into frightened puppies.

Although, they've got some great cultural bonuses. But, I'm going to give them a break for now. Building an effective deck with them takes too much work...

Now, the Tok'ra - the good "snake-in-the-head-glowing-eyes-talk-through-a-voice-modulator" folks. Get them to work together well and you've got a team. But they work by stealth, not arms. Still working on it. I'll post more when I have an effective team together.
