I'm from Russia. I live in Saint Petersburg. We have an elderly bloodthirsty government that is looking for a way to keep their places and wealth. Therefore, the image of the enemy is rewarded. At the same time, families are children, the property of those who can afford it, in the west. Apparently there is a manual: how to be a dictator. And there to scold the West is one of the points. Young people are different, but the generation of 18 to 40 is very rationally well educated and would like to live in a normal country, looking for opportunities to move, because they see no way out for a normal life. Most of society is depressed. In relation to 2018-2019, the number of antidepressants sold in the country increased 6 times. Society is depressed and sees no way out. Only a part of their troubles blames the West, part of the government, and almost everyone feels responsible. Helplessness and hopelessness is a common background. There are no ideas about the future of Russia, except for the most terrible and black ones.

@insabon In this war, Ukrainians defend the right to freedom, self-determination of their loved ones and at home. We tried to stop a lot of signatures, letters of appeal. If you go to the square under arrest, the internal troops fight only with their peaceful citizens, beat them with batons at rallies, and there are more of them than the military. but still at night someone writes words about peace in the yards where there are no cameras, and in the morning they are painted. In Russia, people are silent and endure, waiting for changes. And everyone hopes that they will not touch him, will not be taken to war, will not be touched by the security forces for words. Only the poorest, and there are many in despair, go for money that they have never seen in their lives because of debts, and there are few of them. Forced more often. Very scary. Ashamed of the old people who are not in their minds and they were poisoned by the TV. West in the meantime: here's an equal opportunity break for you! In the meantime, I heard a dialogue on the bus, a 4-year-old child says I know the colors of the flag: white is purity, blue is wisdom, and red is the blood of our soldiers. This is in kindergarten .... I was ready to hit the bus window in desperation. My child goes to school, they introduced 2 patriotic lessons a week, they plan 2 more. Please... this should not be... Why is the solution of questions about domination, about financing military blocs, going at the expense of our lives, at the expense of Ukrainian and Russian children and their future? I believe there are enough ways to stop this daily nightmare. Whoever caused it. Stop this for all time, please. Love, no war.
