  1. It does not appear that you know what capitalism is. Pleaese come to the U.S. some day, walk around, and look at the names on buildings. I challenge you to find a hospital, a center for the performing arts, or a park without a name. Why? Great many parks were private lands in the past and were given bybthe owners to the public. Hospitals often bear the name of rhe person whose money has created those hospitals. Concert halls are named after people whose moneybpays for the buildings and the orchestras. This I'd an old, old Western tradition, especially in the English-speaking countries. The royalty and the aristocracy were raised from childhood with the notion of noblesse oblige, the noble obligation to take care of the ordinary people. This comes from the Bible, actually, and is sacred to the Jews, who repeat the words "you shall take care of the orphan, the widow, and thevstranger in your midst" three times avday and live by those words. Please note, G-d did not say. "you shall Electra good tsar who would take care of the people in need; YOU shall take care of THIS widow, THIS orphan, and THIS stranger, not a class of widows, orpans, and strangers. Russia has not had such a tradition. In the decades before your revolution, the new rich did talk about the people, but they've really motivated by...guilt for having so much, not the sense odlf duty. So they did the best thing they knew --- financed the communists out of guilt. I understand why you may think tjevway you do. It is a mistake, however, to think that thevrest of the world is just as egotistical, drunk, corrupt, and violent as the world around you.

  2. You used many words but told us only one thing: like your predecessors for centuries, you follow leaders (fuhrers, in German) but not principles. This isvwhy fuhrers --- leaders, sorry --- change butvrhe country remains the same: violent, corrupt, and poor. Enjoy the leadership of the current monarch.

  3. You still don't understand that people were not attacking you: the conversations became longer and began to feel like attacks precisely because you were defending the indefensible actions of your country. A Westerner would ne speaking in terms of "Here is where I agree with my government, here is where I disagree ." You missed the point. That is even more true about the perception of someone who lost bank cards due to sanction. What is happening is happening is happening precisely because an average Russian, unlike an average Westerner, does not feel responsible for the actions of hod government. You still have much of growing up to do, and you are hurting yourself by making these videos: one shouldn't speak before one to that is psychologically damaging. It is like drinking wine before it matures: you cannot help but to form an opinion about wine but that is the wine that does not exist yet. This phe menon seems to be the curse of many well-meaning Russiqn people. Peter I, whom some call the Gteat, went to the West to learn shipbuilding. He succeeded and learned much of engineering but REMAINED ABSOLUTELY OBLIVIOUS TO THE ESSENSE OF WESTERN SOCIETY. He came back and focused on symbols --- such as shaving beards, as if that would make a backward country more modern. The essence was totally lost on him. Presently, the Russsians come to New Your and London, interactvonly with irher emogres, learn absolutely nothing about history --- that I'd, aboutvthatvwhich made Btitain and America what they are. To become "Westernized" for them us to know the prices at Gucci and how to behave in high-end stores. Then they speak to you over Zoom and explain Amerca, the country the essence of which is totally lost on them. You have a heart, my friend, and that is an achievement. But the heart without the head is very often rhe source of the greatest errors. Read Burke, Hayes, and and Milton Friedman, for instance. Ask yourself questions such as, What is the balance between individual liberties and government? What is the difference between the French and the American Revolution (this is actually key to your own history). These are difficult questions, and the answers are increasingly more difficult to find in part because liberties are less and less popular around the world. Without at least some knowledge in this area, you cannot understand the Russian. European, or Chinese history, you cannot understand Tsar Vladimir, and you are surely unable to understand the West as it currently is. Read. Study Think. And let the wine msture. In order to wean others from a cult, one has to understand the cult. A good heart is by itself insufficient for that purpose. Please accept my best wishes and regards.

  4. Freud would call what you said a projections. You project onto others you lrvown self. Itvis a mistake my driend: some people do have principles. To be a liberal in Russia is especially unprofitavleband dangerous, and cannot be explained by egotism.

  5. Mask is Putinist? That will be a great joke to share with friends, thank you. I am used to people having different opinions and respect the right of my friends and acquaintance to hold them, but opinions should have at leat some connection to reality. Your post has none. We're do you get this nonsense, my friend. and why are you speaking so categorically about something you clearly know nothing about?

  6. You reminded me of the joke from the Soviet times. An American and a Russian argue about the freedom of speech. "I am as free as i" says the Russian. How can you say that?" replies the American. "I can go to the White House at any time and demand that Preaudent Nixon, resign." At this pint the Russian laughs: "I can also go to thr Twd Square and demand that Nixon resign." And so are you, my friend. You are 59 amdvstill don't kbow thatvthe freedom of speech is thevfreedom to speak contrary tobyour government. You are in love with Tsar Vlad, I understand. What about the freedom to rhonkband soeak differently? Ah, those mourhs shpuld be closed -- i am sure you will find great many reasons to justify that. What i found remarkablebin yourbpist is that you cannotvhear what you youselg say. You repeated the joke above without any sense of irony.

  7. No, my friend, corruption and nepotidm are not everywhere. Even before the war Ukraine and Russia were rated in top 10% of most corrupt countries.

  8. Well, if you cared not only would be material things but also about the principles on which your country is built, the results would be different. You cannot reap that which you haven't sawed.
