We are not gloating, as the confused Putinoles believe, we just feel infinitely sorry for the Motherland and anxious from the fact that now, and for the past 15 years, no one wants to change anything from above or below. We already explain, and we explain, we persuade how we can set an example - everything is to no avail. Where does so much empty complacency come from in our people and in our elite? Or is it just cowardice and weakness, covered with stupid pride. But there are no weak people in life, there are only lost ones. Cases of not in the Crimea and not in sanctions. And the fact that the geopolitical expansion of an economically and socially weak state inevitably turn aggressiveness into adventurism, and a "patriotic rise" into irresponsible chapcation. Great Russia is first done, and then presented to the world, and not vice versa. You cannot ensure stability inside, do not take to change the world outside. In order for Russia to become really great, strong and respected, some particularly heavy public plowing is not needed, it is enough at all levels to recognize the productive power of freedom and personal responsibility of each for their own fate, without good kings and emeline miracles.
