Recently I talked for a long time, with an old friend, from a big city in the Russian outback. When asked how he was doing, he answered: simply - a mixture of communism with fascism, an explosive mixture, hysteria. He did, says, deeds, Adolfch.
I was dumbfounded. Yes, I saw on the Internet or at rallies of caricature for Comrade Putin. It is a comrade, he clearly does not pull the master. But hearing such an opinion from my friend, a simple person, and not from a regular propagandist, is amazing. Many people in Russia see the situation like that. They are there, inside, everything happens before their eyes, and they probably are much more understandable to them than European parliamentarians.
Our conversation was long. The second, one might say, the revelation for me was the unpleasant words of my interlocutor addressed to President Obama: for his frank weakness, misunderstanding of what is happening, and loss of face. General topic: they would give Hitler in time by hand - perhaps there would be no war. As for Adolfych ... Personally, I believe that Russia could not bring more harm to Russia than the current president and an agent and pest specially sent to the Kremlin. About total corruption and theft on all levels of power, I will say nothing, this is a separate topic. I consider excuses that it has always been so insolvent and offensive to the Russians as a nation.
To quarrel two Slavic people, the two largest European countries, to turn Russia into a rogue country, and people into potential hostages and possible cannon meat-this had to be able to be able
To quarrel two Slavic people, the two largest European countries, to turn Russia into a rogue country, and people into potential hostages and possible cannon meat-this had to be able to be able to. An attempt to set one people on another, Russians on Ukrainians is a crime, vile and vile. Surrounding itself from all sides by unfriendly countries, Russia has to rush feverishly in search of allies. No, not friends. Russia has no friends and there can not be under the current government. It is allies who need only three things - money, weapons and resources. But this was already under the power of the Communists. And where these friends went, everyone also knows.
The list of a dozen countries that supported Russia in connection with the annexation of Crimea causes shame. Lord, guys, if we only have such friends, is it not a reason to think. Our supposedly friends pose against the backdrop of a shot down Ukrainian aircraft ... On the chest - St. George ribbons. Russian sites proudly publish these photos. I have not yet seen a greater insult to the old honorary award, complete vulgarization of the symbol of the valor and courage of our ancestors.
Slave humility, suggestibility-and hatred of neighbors, everyone who somehow differs or thinks differently; I think these features were artificially vaccinated by the inhabitants of Russia. Hating and despising their own deputies, police officers, officials, they demand to punish Ukrainian deputies, security officials, and officials. This is amusing pride, and much safer. For the small fraction of those actions that people with St. George ribbons have done in Ukraine, in Russia, the protesters and its inhabitants were cleaned up for a long time.
What to do in this situation to the West? Yes, nothing special, demonstrative, just understand some things. When giving loans and organizing joint ventures, do not forget who you are dealing with. By selling technologies and weapons, remember that they will be used against you. I will quote the statement in the newspaper "Arguments and Facts" of the Member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Sergey Markov. '' 'To give the weapon the population of the southeast of Ukraine ... To declare a set of volunteers, from Russia ... Iranians, "Hezbollah"-they would love to run around Ukraine. "So, and everyone can read it in one of the most massive Russian newspapers. So, by giving out visas, maybe you should carefully see who you want to see with your country?
