It so happened that most employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service are supporters of the current government. It is unlikely that someone will be surprised at this. Of course, we talked with the guards about politics. But if earlier the initiative came from me, then after the victorious accession of Crimea, the situation changed. Putin seemed to receive an indulgence in the hearts of these people; They sincerely do not understand what questions can be now. Even a wagon of social problems of people in uniform went somewhere in the depot.
Rational explanations are inappropriate here, you have to look for parallels and images. "Russia and Ukraine are like a kind of married couple, which is in a state of divorce and begins to divide children (southeastern regions and Crimea), which, of course, have the right to independently decide with whom to live with them, relying on the potency of spiritual bonds, I usually begin to state their position.-one of the parties uses power and uses dishonest technologies, and the other runs to complain to the optes (international institutions). This is the question: what should we rejoice here?

It is worth noting: in response, no one will relay myths about the impossibility of speaking Russian in some Lviv. The criminal international corresponds to the equally coordinated national composition of the guards. Including from Ukraine, and in general, it turns out that people are well informed about the situation in the territory of the former Soviet republics.

"Is it equivalent to get the Crimea and lose the rest of Ukraine?" - Usually in this context the conversation continues. "And as the right of nations to self -determination, realized in this way, in the future can affect the sovereignty of Russia itself? But the printer (here they already know what we are talking about and about which it was being addressed) recently invented a new article of the Criminal Code for the statements that undermine the territorial integrity of the country. And we also defend South Ossetia and Abkhazia - we have not accepted South Ossetia and Abkhazia Are these not double standards? "
Unfortunately, we live in the conditions of the right revenge. Internationalism, basic humanistic values, the solidarity of peoples are replaced by the thinking of national borders. And this is always a game with a negative amount, but the worse you make a neighbor, the more you lose yourself. Of course, here I can’t pronounce such words: they will consider it for curses. I just wanted to turn to those who are in the wild. It seems to me quite obvious: the conditional foreign policy of the democratic opposition should be aimed at overcoming the interethnic racket planted by the state and building fraternal relations with our neighbors, with whom we have nothing to share.
