I just wanted to remind that I am still Russian, and I am still supporting Ukraine as always. I even made a special music album for them.
This whole dirty story comes down to one KGB asshole who got power by chance and built his rule on imperial delusion, Stalin worship, and resentment, and just like idiot Trump, speaking lies nonstop. Normal folks tend to blindly believe TV and mass media just because of their money and size, absolutely fucking ignoring the fact that they can be manipulated in the interests of greedy politicians and be manipulated simply because it is profitable for them.
Before I left Russia for good in 2018–2019, and even before the war started in 2014, I remember very well that Russians and Ukrainians were friends in normal everyday life. They are great people.
It is that fucking asshole Putin who chose to hate them, because they refused to bend the knee to him. Fuck Putin, and Universe bless the Ukrainian fighters.
Normal Russian people are not the real authors of this story. This is Putin’s war, and the war of the people around him. For a long time in Russia, society and the state have lived almost separate lives: ordinary people trying to live quietly, while the government, swollen with endless oil money, does whatever it wants.
The deeper problem is also one of values. In Russia, for historical reasons, respect for human life, freedom, dignity, and truth has been too weak for too long. After generations of unfree life, many people got used to fear, passivity, and lying — not only to the state, but also to each other. That kind of history damages a society from the inside.
The regime hardened over many years, helped by oil wealth, violence, and public passivity. It let anyone leave who could not accept it, which only made resistance weaker. That is why this story has lasted so long.
But regimes like this only look strong. In reality, they are brittle. They crystallize for years and seem unshakable, but all it takes is one real crack, and the whole thing can collapse very fast. That crack has not fully come yet — but it will be found, and it will be seen.
