Youtube comments of Sigrid Marie Refsum (@SigMaQuint).

  1. Having been a Russian student in the Soviet era, I get it. This is a sentiment I recognize. The caution, the ambiguous answers, often a little bit philosophical or poetic. But polls demand straight answers. I mean I think you are right about this. It is a good thing that you are pointing it out, and explaining the reasons for it..
    453
  2. I immediately shared this. Right now I feel sick with horror. May Europe step up now.
    169
  3. There were systems in place in the 60's that made sure that there were limitations to ownership and monopoly.
    136
  4. I really hope this contributes to stopping the attacks on Ukraine.
    91
  5. This looks better, a lot better than when Trump had to go. Be proud of that and good luck to the next government and the choice of the voters!
    83
  6. I appreciate that he leaves decisions on what is negotiable with Ukraïne and advices not to push them.
    79
  7. May the people of Ukraine be safe.
    77
  8. May you continue being brave and candid!
    69
  9. Not only weapons are needed. Understanding is crucial. That is why I follow ❤
    67
  10. These missiles must be stopped.
    65
  11. My respect. While we are celebrating the Nobel peace Prize for Narges Mohammadi, this interview deepens my regard and valuing of women who stand up. Yes, you are wise women, and thank you for letting us share.
    60
  12. I have chosen just to focus on Ukraine. I think many people need to do that. There is a lot of attention on Israel/Gaza, and the Middle East. Since I am more familiar with Ukraine and Russia, I stand with Ukraine. We can stop misunderstandings, call out disinformation, and we need not just «wait and see».
    57
  13. Following some updates from russian vlogs it is my impression that Ruzzians do not have any model of losing with grace, like admitting a failure and being a good sport. Handling a loss seems to be impossible to some. No appreciation of the life values they have recently enjoyed. Some of it seems suicidal. When that is a driving force, it needs to be talked about, as there usually is ambivalence against dying for any person who has some survival instinct.
    57
  14. Also, the mess remains. Hærverk, is a Norwegian word, literally meaning army-deeds, but used to describe messy destruction.
    51
  15. Yes to Patriot systems to Ukraine. YES YES YES.
    49
  16. I do not know what to say. What did they expect? That Ukraine would keep its calm .. or test their tolerance and loyalty to the no-escalation policy? Have they been trying to drive a wedge between the Ukrainians and their supporters?
    47
  17. I can tell that we were deeply concerned about those inside Kursk. Many Norwegians have experience with mutual support up North. This really hurts. Our neighbors at sea and at land, not always close, but working side by side against the elements and during World War two, which also hit our country.
    46
  18. May you soon get Crimea back. I would never underestimate ukrainians. Don't mess with them.
    45
  19. Really useful. I think I know what you mean about valuing other people for their uniqueness.. I have noticed one thing, that I rarely get exhausted when doing photography, its more like «now its time to stop»-thing. I am doing a course in taking photos of people, and I notice that it invigorates me. The approach is essential. To observe and take photos can be a pretty introverted thing, so I feel kind of more in place. Still, when taking photos of living people, I need to connect, and I found your little video here very useful. Thanks.
    44
  20. Посмотрите, какой оболваненный восторг он рассказывает о том, как австрийцы создали «искусственную» страну Украину.
    43
  21. I am learning about courage. May you persist and win your freedom.
    42
  22. I guess that speech gave some solace and self respect to those who took part in the atrocities in Ukraïne.
    40
  23. Russia could have lived in peace, but this creates hatred. It is so sad. We wanted to be friendly neighbors.
    37
  24. Protection to Ukraine.
    36
  25. Looking at the map, Mariupol is at the Azov coastline. Maps that show Russian-invaded areas show that there is quite a lot of surrounding territory that is occupied. Just looking at that map seems to explain the hesitation.
    35
  26. At least the rumors that NATO and USA are a threat to Russia has been disproven. You are very patient in Ukraine. My caring about your country and your people seems quite weak. But it is there, and I do think that words also play a role.
    35
  27. A good overview, it seems. Someone i know insisted on marrying a woman working in a shop nearby, She had been friendly, and helpful. And she was clear about being happily married. She died from some vicious disease, and I wondered if the stress of being stalked contributed to her illness. And the stalker? Maybe in a hospital. He had problems and delusions.
    32
  28. False flags don't fool the world as they used to do anymore.
    31
  29. Good point.
    30
  30.  @rileypetrando  Like your intelligent foreign secretary, Condoleeza Rice said: «A conflict of this magnitude always comes home.» The US need not be the police of the world, but cheering for the bully and the perpetrator is going to the opposite extreme. And it is not healthy. So lets not be fooled by Z-russian rethorics. That leads to lawlessness.
    29
  31. Something for body language experts. I think I saw some duping delight on the face of the leader of the biggest country on earth.
    29
  32. People in Paralympics have motoric talent. I thought I could do a major in analytics of congruens in my native language, but I ended up crying in the library instead. .. finally I let go of academics, and turned to what brought me to youtube., creating songs.. I could use what I had learned about poetry during my academic years as well as fellow music students who needed to practice as teachers. Experimenting is necessary, yes.
    28
  33. Safety for Mariupol! Thoughts from Norway!
    27
  34. I really appreciate that you follow outlets in the Russian language, as well as having ground experience, and talking to people who are going about their everyday life.
    27
  35. Why not just respect that this is their place, and leave it in peace?j That would be normal.
    27
  36. So beautiful. Interesting to know that these are not just decorations, but that they carry deep meaning.
    27
  37. I remember how mystified we were when that plane was shot down. It was in the recent years that Girkin was seen as responsible. It took at least eight years to know that.
    26
  38. Ukraine was planning to become a NATO member already in 2002 after having destroyed the last nuclear weapon on ukrainian territory. (Atlas of the World, ed. 8, National Geographic)
    26
  39. I follow your videos as often as possible. I want to see your country free from that aggression from your obsessed neighbor. So many things to learn, to get to know. Your proverbs. Your favorite proverbs. Like «Unpunished evil grows»
    24
  40.  @rileypetrando  Actually, Europe is doing a lot, perhaps not enough,, since Ukraine is still struggling with this terrorizing neighbor. Most refugees come to european countries, and that is nothing to complain about. And BTW. When Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal, USA was one of the guarantors for the security of Ukraine. I was in Odesa in 1995, and people with military connections were talking about that. Some were not happy that Ukraine had given up so much military technology for the sake of peace. I did not get that. Other guarantors were Russia (!), Great Britain, France, and China (!).
    24
  41. It is good with nuance. Yes, I think that is a good guideline. What would you do in real life? Actually you might not relate to a well known person in public, while some decent interaction would be OK on the Social media. Discernment is key.
    23
  42. I am sorry for the young couple who lost their future. It is a big challenge Ukraine has taken on. My respect.
    23
  43. The destruction of Mariupol came in lagre extent from Crimea. Just another good reason for getting Crimea back to Ukraine. It is obvious that any trace of glasnost and the historical Duma is long gone. The surviving dreams of tsardom seem to be back combined with the nostalgia of being a super power.
    23
  44. Never underestimate an olympic winner and the capacity for achieving goals.
    22
  45. It was a really difficult to do what he did. Singing so perfectly on that dice.
    21
  46. What a skillfull rescue, saving many lives.
    21
  47. Ha televizor: После аварии была встреча с информацией для ближайших родственников. Женщина начала кричать в отчаянии. Она думала, что что-то не так и что кто-то виноват. Ее остановили с помощью шприца со снотворным в спине.
    20
  48. I notice the combination of beautiful and weaponry. «Beautiful like old weapons» is a simile I read in Irina Ratushinskaia’s poem on surviving torture. .. I fully support Ukraine stopping the attacks from Ruzzia.
    19
  49. Bio-labs exist at every hospital. They are part of medical procedures.
    18
  50. I think caring for cats is soothing. And it helps soldiers in harsh conditions keep their humanity. Good art can help is process what we are going through. Thanks for your update and happy women's day. We know there were several determined women who paved the way for what women can do and be accepted doing today. No one questions our right to vote or make decisions. ❤
    18
  51.  @anamericaninamerica  that happened with Hitler too. You may look it up.
    18
  52. Dr. Snyder understands the languages of the countries he is dealing with. That makes a huge difference to his perception and understanding. I am glad he put it so clearly and explained how americans tend to see from their own perspective and how they can be sidetracked into talking about themselves. I think that is an issue with both the large countries. People do not have to go abroad. They do not need to learn another language.
    17
  53. Very sad.
    17
  54. He IS human. That’s why he is lovable.
    17
  55. Yes, earned.
    17
  56. I am thinking of a Russian speaking vlogger I am following. Her daughter appears from time to time, but it seems to me that she is showing discretion. When her daughter is performing or wants to talk on camera, she is there, but embarrassing moments are not part of it. It is everyday life, not the daughter. Should it be forbidden? I am not sure. Anyway, being present in the moment is very important in life.
    17
  57. I a am glad that many recognize patterns of abuse when it comes to the treatment of Ukraine. I am glad that you manage to stay so positive each night. I think it does have something to do with your focus, and that you realize that it is important.
    16
  58. I am happy they were stopped.
    16
  59. ​​ @Pifagorass  on a surface level, it looks similar. Historically, there has been a ukrainian statehood which Russia also branched out from, looking back to kievan rus". Palestine has been colonized land since the Massada Suicides, and the exiling of jews. There are palestinians AND jews who want to live in peace as neighbors. I hope they survive. 17:41
    16
  60. David versus Goliat.
    15
  61. Respect
    15
  62. Social security and free education are good things. Also that there is some equality between people, so they can relate. Avoiding chemistry in the food has more to do with modern food production than it has to do with the USSR. That change has happened all over the world. Natural foods are best. The other participants of the USSR wanted out. I wish them all good luck and no war.
    15
  63. A counselor telling you that you are «strange» with a touch of disgust, is a lot worse than a thoughtfully explained confidential diagnoses. In my experience, when in a vulnerable position, it is not so easy to find the right help, or even sort through what is available.
    15
  64. Thank you for explaining.
    15
  65. Knowing in his heart that it was not right to kill, at such a young age.
    15
  66. Thank you for a very interesting summary. What I noticed in Ukraine in 1995 was that there was a distrust against Russia erupting at times. I did not have the impression that this had anything to do with western influence, rather with a history that had not been acknowledged.
    15
  67.  @davyjones3371  it is not Russian. That is the point. RuZZian authorities do not get that. The largest country on earth seems greedy. That is not how the cold war ended. When talking to komsomol-representatives.. - Why are you so apprehensive of Russia? - You want the norwegian harbours without ice in winter. - Why? We have our own harbours. .. She was right. The russians have their own land, their own population.
    14
  68. I appreciate your lighthearted approach to issues that otherwise would be completely maddening. ;-)
    14
  69. I wish the russians would just withdraw from occupied territory.
    14
  70. There obviously are russians who only want to stop this war. I wish them good health and take care, protectors of Ukraine ❤
    14
  71. The doctors did what they were supposed to do. Thank God, the Hippocrate commitment still holds up.
    14
  72. To your question. Russian Literature has meant a lot to me. It finally lead me to you and supporting Ukraine. I am not even ironic. It is more like following a long series of clues.
    14
  73. Take care..
    14
  74. This is serious. When privacy is not respected. When people without security clearance is let into the treasury, them what?
    14
  75. Даже. деревья мёртвые!
    13
  76. I appreciate your updates.
    13
  77. Good news.
    13
  78. I remember learning about the Chernobyl catastrophe on the radio, and in the newspaper. I had a two year old in kindergarten. I was very concerned that the pure wilderness had been damaged. I was even happy that someone I used to know didn’t live to experience it. I also remember not eating fish from inland lakes before the family knew I was pregnant with my second child. I am glad we got through that period, and that scientists found ways to survive, but it was a huge shock.
    13
  79. They seem depressed. Being tortured like that for a long long time, and we abroad are just witnessing it. Of course they want safety and peace. And support for their own agency.
    13
  80. What a strange way to conduct a country and the lives of people.
    13
  81. Arnhild Lauveng has done what you suggest. More of the kind is needed. In every language and culture.
    13
  82. You know history..
    13
  83. Bureaucratic, tired bureaucratic word salad. I think it is quite common. As a prosecutor, I believe that she must have been clear in her wordings. Writing or speaking when unfocused is not advisable in public..
    13
  84. Let’s hope for justice over politics.
    12
  85. This really made me happy, as I need this approach when facing so many difficult black and white assumptions. I am so glad you could discuss this in such a respectful manner.
    12
  86. A good thing that you exemplified what science is and is not. Is it just because I had a father who was a scientist, and also a believer.? We had a lot of discussions around those themes. So, despite not having the credentials, I agree with you. I would think that believing is quite another way of searching for meaning in life, different, totaliter aliter.
    12
  87. You are doing good work, Anna. In order not to scare children, or maybe more sinister, make them likely victims, the fairytale depiction of trolls has been sweetened and downplayed. I think that is harmful. . Ukraine seemed far off for years, and what I heard from Ukraine before the war was about Odesa and that fatal street fight, as well as other things that don't look good. Not that everything has to look good on the surface, that is untrue, but there needs to be a balance. Bad events can be spread as rumors, and when most people know little about the country, it can be terribly destructive. When I read comments like "Ukraine does not exist" I realized something was off.
    12
  88. Let us not let bullies win!! I do agree.
    12
  89. Most people in Ireland speak English, yet they insist that they are Irish and they do not want English dominance. So language is a poor argument.
    12
  90. This is just horrible.
    12
  91.  @mrvron  still, Russia does not respect that Ukraïne is a country in its own right. Ukraïne seeks its allies. Agree or not to what they choose, but still it is their right.
    12
  92. A fast runner, is something my body simply is not built for.
    12
  93. My condolences to colleagues and loved ones.
    12
  94. I am so sorry for the civilians that get all their things flooded.
    12
  95. I had no idea of how magnificent Kyiv is. It was a name on our old radio-set, it was a place where the poet Irina Ratushinskaia lived with her husband on Batievoy mountain. .. traffic, nightclubs.. a place Kurkov described in his famous novel. .. I’d like to come and see Kyiv as tourist too.
    11
  96. I remember the Kursk incident. It was concluded that international assistance was denied because of military secrets. «of course Russia has its military interests»
    11
  97. Already in 1995 it concerned me that Russia kept their marine base on Crimea. It turned out that uneasiness was justified. I was not negative to Russia at that time, and I did not really get the difference between Ukraine and its oversized neighbor.
    11
  98. Brave thing to report from this. I do not want to put a like here, it is just a good thing that there were no casualties. Thank God.. hope you manage those fires soon.
    11
  99. I think I saw that come up in my feed. Your friend’s panic attack is sensible.
    11
  100. This was the way vikings behaved on their looting campaigns. That was a thousand years ago. That was before christianity. Attila, Djengis Khan headed violently over the territories to the west. The descriptions of what is going on seem so uncivilized.
    11
  101. Well spoken, well explained. All lives saved because of various defensive weapons. I have never been a huge fan of weapons, but I admit that you explained very well.
    11
  102. The testimony was: Living together.
    11
  103. It is horribly sad, and even a shaman from eastern Siberia walked towards the Cremlin in order to drive the evil away. So, even with another belief, he acknowledged something evil. My condolences to the loved ones of the victims.
    10
  104. You are doing important peace-work.
    10
  105. Kherson impressed my by their non violent demonstrations against the invaders. In Gorbachev’s era, that would have been enough. The invasion would not had happened at all, probably. You don’t mess with ukrainians, even though I find them very considerate in many aspects.
    10
  106. So sad
    10
  107. I witnessed that cooperative spirit when I was i Ukraine 17 years ago. You have come a long way <3
    10
  108. As a linguist, you know that synonyms enrich language. Poets try to find fresh expressions. This is like opening the door to what is behind the cliches. You take on so many challenges. 😊🎉
    10
  109. Ancestors fought the nazi’s. There was a suggestion that Norway put down a wreathe in honor of all the Ukraïnian soldiers who died on norwegian soil fighting the nazi’s. Up to now it has only been considered Soviet soldiers, and later on russian soldiers. It is clear now that many of them were ukrainian.
    10
  110. So precise the words of Jamala: .. they kill, and say: "We are not guilty".
    10
  111. I got that impression already before the war. A comment on Sting’s song, The Russians: «Ukraine isn’t a country». That actually said it all. Now I am actually astonished by the Ukrainian language. It is close to life, not just a translation from West European languages like French. It does not seem to be as abstract beurocratic. I think this language is part of the ukrainian strength.
    10
  112. Very interesting interview. I wonder how she is doing now. Irina Ratushinskaia who grew up in Odesa also supported the annexation. Mercy. Thank you for your intelligent questioning.
    10
  113. My heart to them. God bless them and help them.
    10
  114. The winning song kept echoing in my mind as I walked a long hill yesterday. Its rythm is good for walking. It keeps us strengthened.
    10
  115. I know how much it means to be able to stop the vicious attacks.
    9
  116. There were things in Ukraine that have left an irrepressible mark in me. I am glad this surfaces now. May your country be blessed and free.
    9
  117. People who learn Russian, also learn about "The third Rome". If that does not spell imperial dreams, IDK.
    9
  118. What civil society means for democracy. This is an example.
    9
  119. When we witnessed the atrocities committed against Mariupol from Crimea, there should be no doubt that Russia should give up remaining on that peninsula. Any tenant behaving like that, ..
    9
  120. Peace!
    9
  121. True: This never happened before the CBO, or before the strike on Friday, there weren’t targetting of civilian places, and there were no civilian casualties in Russia. The civilian casualties were only in Ukraine.
    9
  122. I think it was exactly what I needed right now. I need to focus on the possibility that I can fix my economy and do the right thing, and that I can manage the requirements of an upcoming travel.
    9
  123. That support is so well invested. Hope that money will come to good use by effective skilled workers. .
    9
  124. You definitely work well with what you have.🎉
    9
  125. Hoping for a full recovery :-)
    9
  126. I appreciate your reasonable optimism.
    9
  127. He showed incredible resilience. Yes, I agree, that the depressing threats against opposing action in Muscovia, is worse… I felt it coming, and I felt sick when I understood it. It is sad.
    9
  128. It is an exiatential situation described by many wartime writers. I think it is a pretty common feeling you express, for people in your situation. Yes, and I think you will find a way.
    9
  129. Identification of the dead is important. The loved ones are those who are most able to do so. The way it is done, is crucial though. Are they prepaired upfront? Are they shown empathy for their loss, or is it just thrown at them, look what happens!
    9
  130. You rightfully call the fire in Odesa in 2014 for a tragedy. The way it was presented back then, it made Odesiti look awful.
    8
  131. Listen to what is happening in Mariupol. I really worry about those who think that it is OK for Ukrainians to «surrender».
    8
  132. I believe the keeping of the name Engels, is likely nostalgic, or nobody cared about changing it,. My impression of current RF is not very communist, but it is definitely authoritarian and repressive, so I guess that has to be explained a bit more in depth. Fascism with its celebration of the strong leader, the centralization of power and riches, its fascination with violence etc. has been suggested by many. Many have pointed out that RF leaders and talking heads have been projecting their own vices onto Ukraine. As to Greenland, Panama, and Canada, be on guard. If the upcoming president gets free reign.. Ukrainians know by now. I think many voted for him for the sake of change, and because he speaks in a way that does not intimidate them.
    8
  133. A deeply moving ceremony.
    8
  134. Peace talks with an attacker? Stop attacking? Hasn't that been said many times before? Makes me think of appeasing a bear by giving it some food. If you have been to Yellowstone you know what that means.
    8
  135. It is due time for Moscovia to understand. BUT I realize why you call it a terrorist state. It kreps terrorizing civilians. I am glad you stand strong and have faith.
    8
  136. In the old days there was this pomor-trade connection. The russians were appreciated as kind people according to my primary school teacher who grew up in a town close to Kirkenes.
    8
  137. Difficult neighbors.
    8
  138. Nobel Peace Prize to those who document and bring justice. Condolences to all who suffered losses.
    7
  139. How did he confess? - With remorse? - Self righteous? - Conflicted? - Blaiming her? - Realizing his loss?
    7
  140. You can only choose that for yourself. I say that to pacifists.
    7
  141. Thank you for sobering comments on the expression of manliness that throws some doubt at the news about Prigozhins target being hit.
    7
  142. I cannot understand how smart people are when they call Harris "dumb". It is the way children talk, when they don't like what parents say.
    7
  143. Tiptoeing around someone unpredictable. That was my sense of the influencer. The topman of Moscow reminded me of some weirdo that you may run into on the street in a big town.
    7
  144. Getting drunk is perhaps not the best approach, but it illustrates well a common Russian reaction. Hopelessness, distress.
    7
  145. I had no trouble getting it when I first heard the voice of an intensive nurse describing her work experience with COVID. I have had an intubated family-member with pneumonia, and the memory of that experience still shakes me when watching this video. I think it is necessary for people to know, if they haven’t got it yet.
    7
  146. My condolences, heartfelt support.
    7
  147. The best of La Jolla!
    7
  148.  @GaliullinRustem  take care of the nazi’s in your own country. They are small minority. A feather made into five hens. Most ukraïnians are far from being nazis.
    7
  149. If people are pacifists, they need to be truthful.
    7
  150. Crimea as the bases of violent attacks, needs to change. I think the Crimean Tatars also prefer to have Ukraine back there. That said, the other perspective about EU seems right.
    7
  151. Thank you. I am concerned about the war in disguise that I see in the comments on Russian speaking channels and vlogs. They use comparisons, telling a war survivor in Odesa how things are better, and cheaper in Russia. I have seen many times that these «friendly» comments seem to precede violent bombardement. They seem to be comforting, hacking through the protective mindset of native ukrainians with Russian as their mother tongue. This worries me.
    7
  152. I don't feel sad for them..
    7
  153.  @ЭЮЯ-о3к  You may be paid for writing this. I am not.
    7
  154. An 11-year old that wants to experiment? .
    7
  155. Her husband stood by. Poor kids, learning about their aunt's death through the media. I know what aunts may mean to children.
    7
  156. I am impressed by the structure of buildings, standing. Everything that is not destroyed directly is there.
    7
  157. I remember how hopeful we were after the Budapest Memorandum. I know that military people in Odesa were not enthousiastic about it. They wanted to keep the highly developed technology. I am sad that this hope for peace has failed. I don’t think it was stupid back then. We were really hoping for a more peaceful future. So I am really sad about how this has turned out.
    7
  158. I see that it is about vacations to Europe, just for relaxation, only to continue Z-ing.. Many Russians realize the horror that is happening, though. Peace to Ukraine, sovereignity!
    7
  159. Not surprised. Hold on!
    6
  160. I am concerned about contagion of incivility. The fish rots from the top., is a saying to ponder. What do we do in order to keep a safe society? The haughty reminder from the richest man actualizes this concern.
    6
  161. I watched Oleksandra on TV. She embodied the image of a queen, devoted to her task and the ceremony.
    6
  162. I think this is happening already.
    6
  163. I think this is thing about Russian- speakers could warn everyone and anyone against learning to speak Russian.

  164. Bless his soul and his memory.

  165. Те, кто верят, что Бог хочет победы России, думают ли они, что это нормально?
    6
  166. I believe so too.
    6
  167. He is good at projecting, it seems.
    6
  168. There was very strong UV- from the ice and snow, so I guess they really needed that dark skin in order to avoid sunburn and skin cancer.
    6
  169. Tears for you, my condolences <3 <<<3

  170. I think the girl was brainwashed. They had psychologists to "help them deal with the trauma". Healing must come through realization and patience. . When I saw her performance, I kept wondering what her real story would be like.
    6
  171. Sad. The rich need to care for the poor, best of all is stop the war.
    6
  172. Melting weapons into plough shields.. I know it is not exactly that, but I love this, peaceful supportive action in the beautiful city of Odesa.
    6
  173. I have dark brown hair, naturally. My daughters were blond when children. I have seen the Solomon-Iceland type in town, and now I realize that it comes naturally, which is very helpful to know. It is so easy to get the prejudice that this color was only something done in order to «fit in». Blue eyes/dark skin and blond hair/dark skin exist naturally. First time I saw a blue eyed woman, I saw someone who seemed terribly embarassed. I bet she had gotten a lot of staring directed at her. And we all suspected that she was wearing contact lenses. We need to grow up. Thanks.

  174.  @gfan83  I only ask that the Russians leave Ukraïne in peace. Is that too much to ask?
    6
  175. There are Ruzzians who do say things that coincide with genocidal intent.
    6
  176. That is true ❤
    6
  177. This video makes it clear why words like apartheid and occupation are used.
    6
  178. I remember we couldn’t get russian television on our channels anymore, and it was explained that it was because something was off. I did not really get it, before the big attack on Ukraine. I am looking forward to more in depth explanation.
    6
  179. Some people don`t get why corruption is harmful. You put it well.
    6
  180. They do need to protect themselves against those evil attacks.
    6
  181. I am grateful that you withstand the crazymaking attacks from RuZZia. Their warfare is also psychological. Comedy and the sense of humor is crucial now.
    6
  182. Well, they chose Putin.
    6
  183. I am glad too. You have come some way.

  184. Gogol was ukrainian. At his time the Ukrainian language was suppressed. Even as a Russian student I learned that Gogol was ukrainian. There was no option for Ukrainian writers or Ukrainian scholars at universities in Norway. There will be now.
    5
  185.  @johnje4285  so do I.
    5
  186. My experience too. Birds escape the camera.
    5
  187. It's due time those squatters leave. I used to be concerned about that peaceful rental agreement. This vague distrust turned out to be fully justified.
    5
  188. What seems to me, seeing this, that she is in so much of a shock that she was not able to give an accurate account of what really happened. She is also used to coveting up what really is happening.
    5
  189. Test a variety of things. I found that out after a doing multippel tests. I have to try, because, otherwise I would not know what to answer in quetionnaires. I have tested math, linguistics, teaching, nursing, working alongside lawyers, but something that was pointed out to me when I was you, was writing and music composition, as well as theater. I came back to that pretty late in life, and I have created good things that have been acknowledged by people who are really into the field. I could need more perseverance and confidence in persevering.. and I am still working on it. I also need to work more on finances, because that is a big part of it. Not as fun, but necessary.
    5
  190.  @WynneL  She had been considerate and thoughtful, working in a neighboring house. Could we have done something to stop it? Not just being annoyed by our friend’s delusions?
    5
  191. Having learned about narcissism and violent abusive relationships ending with murder, I could grasp what this was about: ABUSE, only on a governmental scale. Negotiations can do a lot between reasonable people, reasonable governments, Crime can also happen on a governmental level. This is what we are seeing. I have been sharing updates from Kyiv today. In Russian and in English. It is necessary to get the right understanding. Evil is no game, for fun and entertainment.
    5
  192. Powerful quote.
    5
  193. Thanks for explanations in English. Your English is better than my Russian. .. ;-)

  194. My father was pacifistically inclined, but World War II changed that. I understand that better now. . Yes, I think it is good idea that all young suitable people are trained in basics of protecting the country. Still, not all should fight, but take care of other needs. . I never thought I would come to this.
    5
  195. How many international hostages are still held?
    5
  196. Ukraine is not the USA. That is an Americo-sentric viewpoint. I think that is important for Brazilians to take in mind. I have been to Ukraine, and they may reach out for help. That does not mean that the hjelpers are the subject. Ukrainians know who they are, but they also know about suppression, and being bereft of agency.
    5
  197. Very interesting. What we need in this time of crises, is better understanding. I am pleased with this conversation.
    5
  198. I am so sorry. Thinking of you 😢
    5
  199. The booing made me understand the meaning of Hurricane, and made the song grow on me.

  200.  @chrisperrins8082  her goals. When she sett out to do something, she knows how to proceed in order to maximize her chances at winning what ever she sett her mind to.
    5
  201. I really would like to come to Kyiv.
    5
  202. Pathetic. That old veteran deserves a peaceful old age.
    5
  203. Norway was handed over to Sweden after the coalition supporting Napoleon lost and was stopped in their imperialistic attacks. After this attack on Ukraine, giving Ukraine back all the territories annexed would be a peace token. Russia has abused its position on Crimea.
    5
  204. I remember what I heard of the serbians in Bosnia. I am so sorry that russians were supporting this, and that this is continued.
    5
  205. Common sense.
    5
  206. My heart is bleeding for Mariupol.
    5
  207. Yes ❤
    5
  208. There was this bombing and massacre, an attack on social democracy in Norway on July 22nd 2011. There are suggestions that this is also related, that the perpetrator had been to Belarus. I cannot substantiate this. When it happened, my guess was that this was related to the bombings in LIbya, but as far as I know, there was no connection what so ever. In court it was ruled that ABB was acting independently and has a strongly narcissistic personality. That means he feels chosen and entitled to execute a «a horrible, but necessary action».
    5
  209. Thinking of Mariupol and the people there. There does not seem to be a option to give in to such violent oppression. It is obvious that the health care needs a lot in order to deal with this. I have an enormous respect for people surviving and helping each other under such circumstances.
    5
  210. In that heartbreak there is hope. <3
    5
  211. Thank you for more detail on the relation between Crimea and Ukraine. Looking at the map it is obvious that Crimea belongs with Ukraine. Also, after all the atrocities committed by the aggressor state, giving back Ukraine should be indisputable. If not for anything else, as a peace token. . I have been concerned about the russian military presence on Crimea. Maybe it seemed profitable to have the russian navy as tenants, but I think the residents of Mariupol have paid a high price for that.
    5
  212. This contrasts very much to the idealization some western people have about Moscovia.. I hesitate calling it the ordinary name in your presence.
    5
  213. I am glad Sweden supports you.
    5
  214. Yes, that is notable.
    5
  215. Comments like these are powerful.
    5
  216. To see Gabby’s mom in tears.. I hope it helps others gain the strength to get out before their own mom gets just as heartbroken. There is no easy way. Oxytocin and dopamine levels seem to rise in difficult relationships, giving the impression of being in love, I read today. My kudos to their connecting to others, really seeking out the common good that could come out of this horrible tragedy.
    5
  217. That may just be realistic, and a very appropriate part of a dialogue or getting to know each other to start with.
    5
  218. The hope that these pipelines would build peace and a reciprocated future has tragically failed.
    5
  219. Funny 😂
    5
  220. You are so powerful showing this in such a peaceful manner. This makes your message come across, as one for peace. And peace goes together with justice. We just see for ourselves. Before I saw this it was hard to believe the words of apartheid were justified. Not because I thought those who said so were liars, but because this reality goes beyond imagination. I knew that there was a problem with being viewed with dignity, but that it was this harsh. No, this is beyond what I could imagine, even though have a reputation for having a good imagination. More of this peaceful, honest reporting. We need to know, and to see. Another thing is that desperate calls for justice, are understandable. But this is really the most powerful.
    5
  221. I was expecting "Come together", but I think "Here comes the sun" is a really good choice. I have always liked that song.
    5
  222.  @Theribman-1998  There have been many Thank you and expressions of appreciation. European countries have been there for the USA according to article 5 in NATO.
    5
  223. I agree. It was distressing. We saw what was at play. It took time recover from that. She stood firm.
    5
  224. I hope that working closer with Zelensky will take care that the two are on the same page. Zaluzhny is good at explaining. Unity is important now.
    4
  225. The destruction of Mariupol was by bombardement from Crimea. What more is there to say? The russians were allowed to stay there for “defensive reasons”. Attacking Ukraine is not defence.
    4
  226. I remember the "compassion" for the moscovian navy that allowed it to be a tenant there, until it found a new place to stay. I guess they found that new place somehow.
    4
  227. I appreciate your work ethic.
    4
  228. About moving on from faults.
    4
  229.  @dvdhr1  Serbia was bombed in order to stop the genocide in Kosovo.
    4
  230. "Grey is the color of hope" by Irina Ratishinskaia, is another description.
    4
  231.  @sharonefee1426  There are conspiracy theories that do so.
    4
  232. What happened to the Budapest memorandum 1994? Then Russia was a guarantor for the security of Ukraine. Did that mean something different in Russian than it does in other languages?
    4
  233. Thanks.
    4
  234. If they initially think it is weakness, it does not mean that it IS so. A meek and friendly approach MAY be because of strength. I say, MAY. I really do not know what to make of it. You are in a war situation, and these thoughts of mine may be because, we are not threatened like you are for the time being. I cannot say that I know when war is more appropriate than peace talk. I am pretty sure though, that 1991 borders need to be respected. Selling off parts of Ukraine to a bully is weakness. Stay strong.
    4
  235. Why do they target cultural buildings?
    4
  236. Memorial was important, but not sufficient. May Ukraine ein the peace!
    4
  237. More about Ukraine
    4
  238. Funny they did not know that even before the invasion.
    4
  239. Yes. I noticed that too. When RuZZia-people blames someone, you need to look at THEM. They are players at projection.
    4
  240. Dostoyevsky character Ivan claimed that «beatings» were the harmful part of russian culture.. Solzhenitsyn talked about «lying». - If that is how it is done, a Russian student once said, although she did not like it. I heard it. It is opposite of transparent, and that does no good.
    4
  241. Use your voice while it is possible.
    4
  242. Oh, how sad! My heart..
    4
  243. Learn and be strengthened by her courage. If you have health problems they need to have priority. Focus on the good things.
    4
  244. Hopefully.
    4
  245. During the current war in the Middel East I have been wondering about connections between Russia and Israel. You explained how there is a connection. There is too much in common between the attack on Mariupol and the destruction of Gaza, despite the real need for self protection of israelis.
    4
  246. Very important perspectives he brings.
    4
  247. I will remind you that Norway voted 8 for Israel, and that one of the jury boycotted, so the singular votes were probably higher, thinking maths.
    4
  248.  @lifeisstrange6373  powerful testimony. May this be the truth that prevails.
    4
  249. Why were the russians allowed to stay on Crimea after the dissolution of SSSR? After all the attacks and destruction coming from that peninsula they have lost any claims they might have had in more peaceful times.
    4
  250. Interesting to listen to a child psychologist and a forensic psychiatrist. I wonder if the latter said something that was clipped away. My impression of Jen, is that she is very much turned in to what she can offer her surroundings.. And Madeline was kind of excluded from that, since she did not seem to accomodate her life to her needs that fateful night. Madeline was described to be very kind, by a former roommate. It is my guess that Jen could also have some of that character trait. And that was what we saw when she was comforting SS. A kind person will not really get into blaming so fast. Most of us are not THAT kind. We get angry and suspicious, and it seems here that is a good thing.
    4
  251. Makes me think of Yellowstone and the bears there. We were warned against feeding them, as they would be back for more, to the camper’s place.
    4
  252. Had the same feeling.
    4
  253. It is a good thing that you mention that you would have liked a question about how you are doing after your city was attacked. A good reminder. -We, who are not in war zones may have more ability to listen..
    4
  254. I recall being astonished by a well educated russian, who spoke very negatively about a jew at a social event. I remember responding: "In my country it would be completely inappropriate to speak like that." . This is anecdotal, and I did not think much about it, but it does fit in to the bigger picture.😊
    4
  255. Worst footage I have seen. Lots of work to do here.
    4
  256. I remember hearing about Serbs in the 90-ies during the Balkan-wars. They were backed by Russia. It seems that the methods also were theirs. But, of course psycopaths may enjoy this, but normal people will feel guilty. Not every russian soldier thinks that this is OK, and they want to leave.
    4
  257. Many trolls here, it seems.
    4
  258. A questìon: I heard Nikki Haley say that she wasn't in for Soviet type elections, referring to voting procedures in nowaday Russia. As far as I remember it was different back in the day. You are doing a great job in destructing misconceptions to å western audience.
    4
  259. Gogol was ukrainian. That is what we learned as Russian students. He inspired classical Russian writers, but he was ukrainian. Another sign of the rich well of ukrainian culture.
    4
  260. Even though I only share once in a while, I follow your updates, and it feels good. I am glad that you care about facts, and that you have judgement, and that other content creators I care about also do so. Any news outlet has this responsibility.
    4
  261. My respect and my condolences <3
    4
  262. What a waste.
    4
  263. I have no problem with identity markers like those mentioned. There were other things in the opening show that was IMO tasteless. When a palestinian wears a symbol of background, I think that must be allowed. I wonder about the change of title from October Rain to Hurricane. Most Europeans have experienced heavy October rain, only a few have been in a hurricane. A song about a deeply experienced situation is most of all human.
    4
  264.  @mmhthree  the earlier people who settled in Norway were dark haired. Especially on the west coast dark hair is more common. Many say it is due to spanish sailors who stranded after shipwrecks.

  265. John was a real catch of his generation. He was a disastrous choice for Carolyn. Thanks for deepening of our understanding of the varied aspects.

  266. Chilling about those children. Thanks for holding up. Trimaytes'

  267. Victims of abuse may smile a lot. Gabby Petito, a well known example.

  272. Good. Best og luck.

  273.  @Pifagorass  I originally learned about this as a Russian student. I recognize yours as the ukrainian version, maybe just updated, since I was a student. I welcome that Ukraine has become more visible and confident. Still, both versions accept that there first was a statehood based in Kyiv. Have you looked into moscovite, if you will, genealogy? I am curious. I have learned a good deal from Timothy Snyder and Anna from Ukraine.
    4
  274. I noticed that the term «lyudoyed» «maneater» is still an expression in Russian. In normal usage it is just picturesque speech.
    4
  275. She really did show what was happening. And telling about her plight fullfills her desires for thevtruth to be revealed.
    4
  276.  @615GuitarSlinger  and hundreds flere the country. I guess a lot of people are afraid. In what way is he good? Saying nice things about them? I mean, that need not be wrong, but jailing people for using the word «war» about the total destruction of towns in a neighboring country. He gives order all right, but to what expence.

  277.  @happyjay9168  historical and cultural sites are important to a people’s sense of identity, and we are informed that such sites are destroyed too.

  278. My condolences, by the way.

  279. Comment sections say a lot.

  280. Take care, Anna! Good point about the birthday of Jesus. I wish the anti-drone artillery the very best. They are like T-cells in the immune system.
    3
  281. I am curious, and I do not know how to research this. I am wondering about some clandestine connection to Russia in all this. I followed the seige and destruction of Mariupol, the censorship of russian media etc.. Why do the israeli government act in a similar way? Is there a connection? Russia definitely can benefit from this, sidetracking the support for Ukraine.
    3
  282. My guess is that he was on their list, as Mr. Krasnov. They could use a poor negotiator.
    3
  283. Destructiveness.. you nailed it. It is a tantrum over loss.
    3
  284. Until I realized what the russian government was up to, I also wanted peaceful relations with Russia. Greece has historical connections with Ukraine. Ukraine acknowledges. . He is good at keeping his calm. . Will there be less deaths by not resisting? On background of Holodomor..
    3
  285. Somewhat humoristic?
    3
  286. i remember the KURSK incident, and how we wanted to help. I also remember a TV-documentary from a meeting to the bereft. A woman started shouting out her anger, despair, and her distrust in the information that was presented. She was silenced by a shot in her shoulder. Some brutal way of dealing with problems was my conclusion. I really have no idea concerning your question. Somehow I think that the human values still present in some people in Russia need all the support they can get. Not to be disloyal to Ukraine, but I do think that humane values need to take the seat for that threat to stop. In February 2022 I was worried that the US would nuke Kreml and destroy its unique architecture. But no. There is no indication that will happen. That is what surprised me the most. I think I somehow was influenced by r-propaganda. I was shocked to learn about the following atrocities from a country that I previously held in high regard. Actions do speak.
    3
  287. Like Bandee Lee said it. You give an example of what she described.
    3
  288. What humans can do, and deny!!
    3
  289.  @goodboy7721  I think you are more onto something. There is not much about Ukraine on social media. Only people who have connections to Ukraine in some way go on about it. I have been there, and I support their survival. I do wish there was another way than this war, as it costs so much material, so many losses and so many lives. Anyway, I do not think giving in to Putin is a way. If people are for peace they need to speak clearly against his ambitions of dominating Ukraine. If you don’t like war, you can always speak up, like «the pen is stronger than the sword.»
    3
  290. I need Ukraine.
    3
  291.  @patriotPatriot-mf1cb  that was a way of evading the questions. It is not normal to question an interviewer.
    3
  292. Notice words like "ale" and endings -ati in the spoken. Months name too. "Kviten''" for April is Ukrainian. These names of months occur in the news. Other words like "peremohu" for 'victory', "krayina" for 'land'..
    3
  293. Why will they risk getting Covid19? Officers are in a risky business and may easily be threatened just by someone coughing at them.

  294.  @eh1702  ok.
    3
  295. Why did you call him the «president»?
    3
  296. Yes, they look in the mirror and call it a window.
    3
  297. All the war protests, the flower power generation. We have trouble grasping this. We fought so hard against meaningless wars.. We wanted to believe that wars belong in the past. And Ukraine was a very distant country. It was also the other way around. About the massacre in Srebrenica, they comforted themselves in Odesa: «It is far away.» I could only afford to go to Ukraine because of a grant. Only the music playing on the loudspeakers in Arcadia was the same as at home. We could imagine horrible things, because of past trauma, but peace was gradually taking over. But 9/11 I knew that USA would not tolerate that, and the blissful feeling of peace that followed after the cold war ended, was ripped away.
    3
  298. The Kherson civilians stood up in a remarkable way. Any dream.of being welcomed could have stopped right there. Which says a lot.
    3
  299. Engaging. A Hetman like Mazepa, and other love stories.. Yes. I’d love it.

  300. He was not living in reality. Make believe was his mindset.
    3
  301. It is good to see you optimistic. I remember the first impression. It was penetrating, scary, I believe you were very angry. I am glad to see you now.
    3
  302. Remember Putin came to power because he had the background needed for dealing with the criminals that were causing so much trouble in post-Soviet Russia. Even former dissidents campaigned and voted for him.
    3
  303. We know these explanations very well, from the start of the war. People I know were convinced of this. It was pretty hard to let them understand that Ukrainians in fact have their own mind, and they make their own choices.
    3
  304. I can assure you that Ukraine to me is IN the country, not a bridge or a border. Thanks for your topic.
    3
  305. There are lots of parades, demonstrations, and events focusing on the most different aspects of women's rights.
    3
  306. Civilians and injured soldiers, is what I heard was requested for evacuation.
    3
  307. Anti-air seems necessary.
    3
  308. My condolences. My deepest condolences. That bombardement was such a meaningless evil action against people who only wanted to have their country.
    3
  309. With tears I listen, may you get the blessings to survive and flourish in peace.
    3
  310. Reaction formation was something to think about. Also noticing my BSreaction-detection.
    3
  311. Russia being a member of the Security Council was to prevent such development. This is the top level negotiation platform, as far as I undestand it.
    3
  312. To those torturers? Give in to powers that treat people this way?
    3
  313. It stems that the former KGB agent from Kazakhstan is correct about Trump. Or Maybe it is their project. 25 that shares values with Russia. Anyway. Ukraine deserves peace. You gave up nuclear weapons, and you showed human trust, that you would be protected. It does not seem now that it was worth it, but to me this points to the future, while your opponents are going backwards.May you have peace, freedom and a good future.
    3
  314. Welcoming refugees and immigrants should be an ok thing to do, and that requires taking measures that create peace and cohabitation. At least these are my values. My ancestors can be traced to the area I live in, where there are lots of immigrants and refugees as well as people from other places in the country. You have to have a positive mindset and understand what is essential to make it work. The only thing was when I was wearing a costume that reminded me of my own ancestors, and someone from another area wore the same costume.. so I know you CAN feel negative about newcomers. «Has she the right to wear that costume that remind me of MY ancestors! Its like two sets of sentiment.
    3
  315. I think this is an important point. You have the old "Quest of Igor". .. No reason for outsiders to boast and say that it was their country who did it. There is a self destructiveness within. . Peace and freedom to Ukraine.
    3
  316. The Soviet union ended in 1991. That was 33 years ago. Different government, but some age old heritage too.
    3
  317.  @gfan83  there are different perspectives to that. How about the school that was bombed by Ruzzian bombs in Lugansk? Can you defend that? Why do you think that all will be well if that happens? Do you think that Russia should rule all the territory of slavonians, and resisting that is wrong?
    3
  318. Impossible to like. So sad. You work well.
    3
  319. My doctor told me to avoid news from Russia and Ukraine, after a call to the emergency. I had reacted so strongly to the realization of terrible change that it resembled symptoms of a stroke. While it might have been good advice sometimes, like taking a soldier off the battlefield when ill, it seems to go against the experience of how it goes when just focusing on your own private life. Like in Russia. Russian people are real to me and so are you. Keep your head clear, at least until you are in a safer spot. ❤
    3
  320. I find that repulsive.
    3
  321. Is there a difference between ‘denial’ and ‘gaslighting’?
    3
  322. In Russian there is this same word for 'peace' and 'world'. So it seems russians confuse these concepts. This is extremely foreign to people from other language backgrounds. I think this is necessary to understand.
    3
  323. Good reception is part of the healing and rehabilitation.
    3
  324. Thank you! Reasonable framework. Lots of explanation as to the foundations of freedom. Also for touching the difficult questions that left a lot of voters dissatisfied.
    3

  327. Hold on and keep up what you need to do. . It is a sad thing that your favorite topic has become what it is. Sad it has come to this. Hoping for a speedy retreat from ukrainian territory. ❤

  329. In a way I realize I must have been considered attractive at some time. Am I guilty myself? I know the feeling of jealousy. That definitely does not bring out the best.

  330. I am not sure that it helps to bring the truth to the authocratic leader. He recently put the butcher general in charge in response to learning the truth.
    3
  331. From a slavophile perspective, and from people who grew up in the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire it makes some weird kind of sense. You find it in Russian writers too. The most prominent of Russian writers had military background. The speech is face saving to those who took part in the atrocities. I think it is important to understand, although not be fooled by it.
    3
  332. In a way. It takes time in order to get used to the new conditions of the big country in the north. Things and times are changing.
    3
  333. I think you are spot on. I have not been listening to you before, but the comparison to a partner who wants to leave a relationship and is subject to violence, seems to hold. I once felt sorry for Russia, being «left alone», but that does not give Ukraine the right to choosing their own direction. I think we have been guilty of partly denying Ukraine the right to self determination.

  334. I had this classmate, very talented musically, picked up steps and choreography instantly.. She always scratched her nose when presenting homework. She could have made it in public, but she is very private. I think this nose scratching was a sign that she really felt uncomfortable in front of class.

  336. Just looking at Nicole, reminds me how I envisioned my own mother’s grief if I did not get away from an exciting guy who I realized could be dangerous. Stil this memory carries strong emotion. Sometimes I wonder how I should deserve getting away in time. So I really hope you manage to reach out to young women in danger. And I am sure you will. Seeing your grief makes it all so real.

  337. You mentioned burnout.. ..

  338. It seems the vodka is at work. Crazy.

  339. YES, I have been thinking of you. I have not had been able to take in such painful present news, because of health issues.. though thinking about people in war zones with similar challenges. All I want is that you are safe, but seeing signs like P. Lancaster coming up in the algorithm is not a good sign. You sometimes see preparations preceding increased attacks in the comment sections.

  340. Thanks for your update. In my thoughts.

  341. More than 40 people killed each day? We rarely hear about that. We know little about it.
    3
  342. For the innocents..❤ 😢

  343. Worth noting. It is pretty common among russians, I think. Or any ambitious power, I think.

  344. I tend to agree with you. I am proud of the fact that I have social media friends with different opinions and values.

  347. I must admt, that despite all my desire for Ukraine to be independent and free, that I feel a bit nostalgic when it comes to Aeroflot. It is a long time since Aeroflot sponsored a Kyivan boys choir on a concert tour to Scandinavia. Nostalgia can be dangerous, I know. Even though I travelled with Aeroflot in my youth. Exactly, that is what nostalgia is about. Is there much nostalgia in Ukraine now. Do you feel that it is harmful?
    3
  348. Many russians only believe in power, or their school books. Some very accurate spy work is behind this. Lets hope it makes a real difference.

  350. If they love their motherland so much, why not stay within uts borders and behave in a way that invites good and peaceful relations with neighboring countries, uncluding Ukraine.

  353.  @bexilesko7983  voice range and movement, was something extraordinary .. so complicated with such ease. I voted for Ukraine, also a lot of good in it, although, under other circumstances, Eden’s song could have won. Israel has had winners before with a strength in the simple beauty of life.

  354. As a former actor, dealing with real life issues, I think it makes sense to have him to speak on Oscars. But threatening to blow it all up.. Zelenskyis admiration for Hollywood.

  355. Yes, I feel that Russia is treated or thought of as some lunatic who cannot be responsible.
    3
  356. There is nothing genius about the tweet. There are people in the west, who think that this is a valid solution, but after Mariupol, I do not think Russia can stay on Crimea.
    3
  357. Nice dress! I notice how you dress yourselves, with care and color. I like that! What ukrainians will be able to teach about survival and coping! . I recognize some of that unpredictable feeling from the covid-lockdowns in my city. Like planned plays and concerts suddenly had to be stopped. I also had the confidence that we would manage to get through it. Still, the musicians and stageworkers trade union created deals with a group of therapists for helping us deal with the aftermath psychologically as well as the economical challenges. . When I was in Ukraine, I sensed a great spirit of sticking together. There was some sense of aliveness I have been missing ever since. I guess you are experiencing this now. .

  358. One thing is that it has happened on extremely short notice. The other thing is that the votes are cast in transparent boxes. Anyone interested can see what the voters chose. And what are the options?

  359. Обычно смягчает ситуацию, если обвиняемый помогает прояснить произошедшее и раскаивается. Но меня не затронул тот ужас, который случился в Мариуполе. Я думаю, что все там травмированы.

  360. These things are not supposed to happen.

  361. So agreed.

  362. Lonely grief. Seems familiar. Makes sense to me what you are telling.

  367. In 1979 I heard Money, money, money .. being played at a restaurant in Moscow.. So that is so true what you are saying about western culture in Russia.

  369. I liked Alina Pash last year.

  370. Some say that most worries do not happen. I have had two worries, that I learned not to pay attention to. The display and proud focus on weapons in the Soviet Union, later in Russia, and their remaining on Crimea. I have been defending Russia and russian culture in many instances, but these two worries have turned out to be justified.
    3
  371. Да. Я согласна в этом. А Украина существует. Украина - настоящая страна.

  372. I think ukrainians are very aware that oligarcs enrich themselves from common goods. I think you are right about that.

  373. Unconditional love does not mean that you would step up to hide someone's crimes. It might mean compassion for someone going through the consequences. I would think Roberta was jealous of Gabby. Using the Bible quote is almost making herself god to Brian. I did not like it. I do not know about the trial.

  374. That is pretty clear to me, at least. But I do get a good deal of what is being said in Russian.

  375. I really hope and pray that all these people will be evacuated.

  377.  @happyjay9168  the definition does not just count numbers. Before the Exodus the Jews were growing in population, for comparison. The international definition of genocide includes several distinctions: According to the Convention, genocide is a crime that can take place both in time of war as well as in time of peace. The definition contained in Article II of the Convention describes genocide as a crime committed with the intent to destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, in whole or in part.

  380. I don't do politics, is something you often hear from russians. .. I wonder how to engager people who say that, and retreat into their own sphere of interest, and just want to live.. Are they the meek that will inherit the earth? Or are they just disgusted by those arrogant people who want to dominate the whole world, and find no identity within their own borders?
    2
  381. I can see he is angry.

  382. It was a terrible mistake to prolong the russian stay on Crimea. I have watched with horror what the consequences were. They could have protested. They took the hazardious chance. May God help their souls.

  387. My condolences for those lost. The hunter in the East and North, He has shown who he is. He likes to hunt, even protected species. Like the Sibir Tiger years ago. I didn’t realize how accurate that described someone, who reminds me of a Wild carnivore. I enjoyed the Ukraine contribution i Eurovision. Thanks to Ukraine for deliverng something as warm and well created.
    2
  388. Same as with Srebrenica. I was in Odessa, during that massacre. We were comforted that Srebrenica was far away. So that thinking followed me, that Donbas and Crimea was far away i 2014. I do think, though, that local Odessans realized the horror of the news back then. Look at the map. Remember how Mariupol was destroyed from Crimea. That alone says me that Russians should leave Crimea to Ukraine as a peace token, when that time comes.

  389. When will they ever learn?

  390. Difficult for any child. You are right about that. Jazz is not at fault. Trying to be honest about complications in this situation is tough.

  391. The current russian TV stars are obvious bullies. Same expressions as school bullies. How come they are even accepted?
    2
  392. I shared this one. I share your previous distaste for weaponry, BUT.. when weapons stop attacks on civilians etc. they are necessary. What kind of policy is stopping mail that has been underway for months, sent off by another government?
    2
  393. You prove that humor is a great asset. This was an entertaining recollection of many tragic facts. <3 <3
    2
  394. They were bullies and she called THAT strength? Is that what she calls strength?
    2
  395. How would you explain what went on at Maidan in 2014? Who funded the support? I bet there are different answers to this question.
    2
  396. They remember an easier time, when they were young and strong. Not so many choices.  And it is also about meaningful discussion.
    2
  397. I think some of it deserves aesthetical acknowledgement. Surface treatment is important, though. . During that sad period I believe some architects found a bit of freedom in their work. The building named after your city, as well as the marriage-and-divorce building have some of the international qualities of the sixties' architecture. I think it is important to notice quality even from that period, that many people judge as tasteless. Sometimes I think the grey architecture of that time goes best with people in colorful garments in the foreground. Changing people's point of view was essential. I think an overview of the best modernist architecture in the world can sharpen the senses for seeing quality in that period. Some people will never like it, though. We had a recent scandal in Norway, when the Y-block was demolished. That was a high quality late modernist building of unique quality. Some people decided they would hate it, and we lost a time reminder thst could have become world heritage. Some argued thst it was just "soviet architecture". My advice: Look deeper into it. There are huge variations in quality and uniqueness.
    2
  398. Taking care of local problems, is something that is needed indeed in Russia. So they have heard this a lot, from expats etc. They turn this critique outwards, because they realize that this argument carries some weight in the minds of the audience.

  399. I remember looking for white cotton yarn in Moscow in 1979. I only found an enormous shelf of thousand light green bundles.
    2
  400. Then there was also some precious crafts taken care of.. I got sewn some designer clothing that had been woven in Lithuania, around the year 2002. The material was high quality. Some old craftmanship did survive.

  401. Children from Mariupol were sent to Piter, a «friendship city». Supposedly to get past the trauma. That was last summer.

  402. Honeymoon year for your new homeland.

  403. Thanks again.There are more scary posts on facebook., Thanks to your sensitivity and your digestion of what is going on, I find your vlogs helpful. Being ruled by craziness is a threat to health and wellbeing even in private matters. The usage of antidepressants in Ruzzia has skyrocketed. Which says a lot. You had a very good sentence about just being part of this world we all inhabit. Even pacifists can be clear about their stand and find methods they believe in without giving in. When dealing with craziness on a person to person level clear boundaries are important, as well as empathy. Sometimes the none-provocation method is the best one can do. If you can leave the scene. But we cannot escape the earth.

  412. He could give away his own wealth to the poor in his own country. That would save his memory.

  413. Stopping the burning arrows of evil. That is what the Patriot systems do. . I came to love Ukraine for having been trusting in a future where nukes are not called for. Don’t you ever blame yourselves for that! You don’t deserve punishment for such an act of humanity.  I am sorry for the betrayal you are suffering. When the biggies agree that its a «proxy war» it tells me that they are admitting to playing ping-pong with your country.

  421. Publisist Nevzorov calls them man-eaters, a mainly symbolic expression in Russian. . I think americans with their super-power perspective, and English only knowledge don’t really get what is going on. Being self reflective is good, but there is a world outside, and super-PowerSong have difficulty acknowledging that. Crimea has been occupied by Russia since 1783. Russians were tenants there 1991-2014. Russian literature has made the West and others comfortable with Russian dominance on the peninsula. Crimean Tatars are very clear that this is non accaptable. The destruction of Mariupol, with bombardement from Crimea, convinced me, that Russia cannot stay there with their forces, not even as tenants.
    2
  422.  @dougwedel9484  slavophilia.. is a key word. Not all slavophilia is imperialistic, it is just self-appreciative, but some is imperialistic, in a dysfunctional way, not allowing difference.

  423.  @vanroad3882  Lavrov is an intelligent man, and intelligent people can be good at getting off the hook and avoid direct answering.

  425. This is alcoholism. I do understand that the parents don’t want him inside in that condition. I guess it would be pretty scary. It also feels invasive when he does not respect your privacy. Sadly, this is what happens when alcoholism is not dealt with. I know many in my country would say that you are too negative towards him. He is human too. But if you talk to members of Adult Children of Alcoholics or the like, you will get understanding. The macho praise of drinking ability in Russia, and Ukraine gives results like this. Not everyone can stop when they first get the taste of alcohol. In the beginning, all seems fine, but then it escalates.
    2
  426. It could also happen elsewhere. Yes. That is something to take in mind.
    2
  427. My deepest respect for their coping during these unbearable experiences.
    2
  428. I am surprised about the de-escalation policy. The newly elected president is no comfort.
    2
  429. It was an exclamation in support of power. That in itself is a bit suspicious. Ex-russian news commentator Nevzorov indicated,.that even though it could have been a quite innocent roman salute at a time, after the nazi's it has gotten a specific negative meaning. Symbols change.
    2
  430. Enlightening.
    2
  431. Sad fact that realization first comes when targeted. To some. Some will get it. Yes, I agree that I do not see much of this news. So your videos from a ukrainian perspective are necessary.

  432.  @earlthepearl4161  Children may call their parents "dumb". Harris is smart, whether you agree with her or not, has nothing to do with her intelligence.

  433.  @earlthepearl4161  because she IS smart.

  434. I think the principles of Open Dialogue also are applicable on a large scale. In that methodology people listen to each other without interruption, and it has proven to have healing effects. So, what do we want? Drama or healing?
    2
  435. Except for comedy or cartoons.
    2
  436. Russia needs to take care of it’s own problems. Let Ukraine live, be safe, and free.
    2
  437. I don’t think they started it. The middel easterners involved are able to do that themselves. The US is not responsible for everything.
    2
  438. Good neighbors is a blessing In Sweden there is a national flag day today. And Norway, which was freed from union with Sweden in 1905, lives in peace with their neighbor. Thank God for all good neighbors. And PEACE to Ukraine!

  439. I think you are right about fear. I don’t feel the need to follow more platforms.
    2
  440. Wild destructiveness and waste. Glad they managed to survive.
    2
  441. After so horrible treatment, why should they ever trust the aggressor?
    2
  442. Far right? Is that still correct. Ukraïnian witnesses from the Donbas region are confident that the Azov - batallion are more ordinary defenders, and that the far right connection is history. At least that is how I have understood them. Please check that.
    2
  443.  @MrDrimogemon  now the russian media seems to make up their own stories. And blaming others for their own sins, seems to be a theme. Observers from other countries are needed to determine what the truth is.

  444. The music was powerful.

  445. Trump has empathy for segments of people others don’t like.

  446. So meaningless, so desperate. My condolences.
    2
  447. No, I am not getting used to this. I am shivering, listening to you. I could not really take in other news.
    2
  448. I hope this will stop some aggressor capabilities.
    2
  449. My impression is that ukrainians on the onset have a negotiating mindset. So if they don’t want to negotiate, there is a reason behind that decision.
    2
  450. It seems that the myth that the Soviet-army did it all by themselves is going to fall apart. I used to think that myth only deserved to be forgotten, but sadly it has been used to a tragic outcome.
    2
  451. I mean, if they were happy with it, why bother?
    2
  452. Shocking. Russia was not attacked. Russia has been using Crimea to attack Ukraine.
    2
  453. Thank you for clarifying. It is like they are living up to the worst descriptions of religion. . Of course christians in the west may be concerned about religious persecution in the post-Soviet countries, so this was a very necessary clarification. . I noticed hatred from a russian orthodox nun speaking on youtube some months before the war. This hatred was not from a loving god. So I have witnessed the duplicity. It is not the first time wolfs dress in sheep's clothing.
    2
  454. That was a speech of a leader.

  456. He was under German protection. A psychiatrist is not suspected to be such a fanatic. Warnings from Saudi Arabia, that he fled from, might not be the most reliable accuser.
    2
  457. When someone explains destruction with «We had no other choice», it seems to me that they are blindfolded and that they cannot see options. That is not a productive state of mind. Of course some talk in America about degrading Russia should be called out for what it is., a total neglect of how we all are interconnected. I do not think this represents all of the US, though. All countries have loud speaking complainers. It seems to me that RuZZia has emphasized what som Russian-speaking nostalgic inhabitants of Ukraine have been saying. To suggest that these complainers rather move to Russia, isn’t the same as wanting them dead.

  458. До перемоги!

  459. I just keep thinking. Who were this children?
    2
  460. Here comes the sun - really great.
    2
  461. Maybe Zaluzhniy can speak to people about military matters. His confident friendly clarity could be some good asset in that respect. A change of roles, yes, but perhaps increased effectiveness. I hope that it is Zelensky’s sense of role-casting that is in play.
    2
  462. You really got me for a moment back in that panic mode of two years ago.
    2
  463. Candle light is a good thing. I could have used it for a special lighting. The things you are talking about are known to me. Still there is a special value to a personal account.
    2
  464. Good job. Essentials mentioned, like the time it takes..
    2
  465. Why are they so fatalist, that this invasion had to be?
    2
  466. Question: A type of comment I have seen in Russian language vlogs by women, Mariupol and Odessa. The comments have a very comforting tone. Coming in context with positive words about Russia, it kind of seema like a threat, especially concerning Odessa. After the bombing of Mariupol I felt it was more like some nornal soothing. But when Odessa has sirens and explosions coming, it seems like some propaganda. Or it reminds me of what nurses tell a patient before surgery.
    2
  467. That was not an attack. That is an attempt at reasoning.
    2
  468. And some have pointed out that he has learned from the worst of German history.
    2
  469. Это странно, в моей детсве такие социальные требования только встречались в Калифорнии, вообще не в Норвегии и не в Ню Хейвен:
    2
  470. @Je_suis_Luigi They are not loosers when withstanding such an aggressive attack.
    2
  471. The rumors about Zelensky. I countered an acquaintance of mine, telling me that Zelensky was a «poor comedian» before he .became president and that he now has a costly mansion in Florida. I countered that if that house in Florida wasn’t just a lie, he might have bought it with money he had made from his production company. I also underscores that he had been popular in Russia before the war, and that he even had been performing onnNew Years Eve in Russia state television. So having facts counts, when rumors are spreading. Zelensky is representing his country, so he becomes a target of so many things.
    2
  472. I remember being pretty shocked about how anti-semittic a russian could talk at a party in his home. I protested and said that speaking like that would be very inappropriate in my country. I think the booing at Eurovision was atrocious. After all you were an artist on stage. I remembered the tragic death of the Irish singer Sinead O’Connor, who had been booed. Eden Golan had my respect when she said that «they are showing what they think». She had definitely built her strength.
    2
  473. I had noticed a very dark energy in the Moscow Patriarch. Someone commented that I should not focus on that. That is long ago. I had to sever contact with some friends with contacts.. even with catholic church people in Kyiv. Just because I was worried about their connections. I am sad for the honest people belonging to this church. Also I know I once commented that it all depends on how a priest sees his role versus the political authorities. I agree on your view of cultural differences and one god.

  474. Enormous

  475. I have been wondering. Palestinians are used to occupation. And their sense of nationality emerged quite late compared to other groups.
    2
  476. I remember a seemingly shocked President Zelensky to the Russian occupiers at the onset of the invasion: "It's not cattle!" (you are sending to get killed).

  477. Mia must have the qualities of the Holocaust survivors.

  480. Stop those missiles harming civilians. Now I understand your anger and your will to stop the aggression.
    2
  481. A lot of people care.
    2
  482. What struck me when visiting a monastery outside of Odesa. I saw a list over sins to confess. One of them was having been cruel to animals. I mean in Norway were I live, of course there are different opinions and there are also laws to protect animals from cruelty, but nothing I know of in a religions sense. Maybe the animals were killed in order not to suffer alone. I don’t know how russians think about this. But ukraïnians do have a conscientious relation to animals.
    2
  483. Is that part of the terrorization? To take their sleep away?
    2
  484. I remember from 1995 how I talked to ukrainians in Russian about Crimea, and how Russia was allowed to keep their marine on Crimea until they found a new place. Understanding, friendly, helpful towards Russia. It was clearly abused when the attack on Mariupol shocked the world. I also remember the understanding sentiment towards Russia when they denied offers of assistance for the submarine Kursk, when it disappeared in deep Waters. Of course, they want to protect their military secrets. And then we watched on TV a desperate woman who had lost her loved one, accusing the responsible men for negligence. She was silenced with a shot in her back. I hope for you that the attacks on Kharkiv will be stopped.

  485. Having had a female prime minister for a long time, I find the question a bit strange. I cannot answer if other countries are ready or not. . BUT one thing I can attest to: Creating material is in part dependent on funding somehow. I know that very well. If you are a sensible person, you don’t build large debts out of enthousiasm. I know musicians sometimes do that. There are several examples.

  486.  @christopherg2347  what are you implying?
    2
  487. I think in that incident with ukrainian protesters JD Vance did one right thing for the sake of his daughter and one wrong thing for politics. Three year olds get scared of many things. By talking to the protesters, he showed his daughter an adult way of handling the situation. That helps the child learn and grow. POSITIVE Politically, he used the situation to shed bad light on people who were raising a genuine concern. . I share your concerns, and I also have felt ill. Not realizing the militaristic culture of the aggressor is extremely one-sided. I am sorry that many pacifists argue as if the USA or NATO are the only ones to blame for this war. Historians will be discussing what was good and not so good. That is reasonable. But denying the reality will never promote peace. I am sorry for what is going on in Russia at present. I think many want russians to have a good life. That is human and well, at the onset. I really want Ukraine citizens to have a good life too. Ukraine has its own agency. Denying ukrainian agency is oppression, not peace. .

  489. Palestinians agree or are terrified. . I find it likely you have some local insight. . Horrible things are being said and quoted ..

  490. That Babiy Yar never must be forgotten is clear, all the way back to Yevtushenko’s poem about that it was forgotten, with no memorial. So we see some of the motivation in Ukraine for stopping reminders. Then I was impressed by the speech on behalf of teacher’s day. Calibrating, was a very gentle choice of words for the description of upbringing, because children are also individuals.
    2
  491. True, we are not as blond as the Danish and the Swedes. So I liked the illustration photo. U5/U4 from Mother and Father. H

  492. We need to hear the stories about identity.
    2
  493.  @notcompletelynormal  thank you. This was what I asked for. Since the DW canal introduced the Azov-regiment as "far right" I needed to know. As you say, this is Russia's main argument for attacking Ukraïne. Now, when evacuation can be crucial, sympathy may play a part. That is why I asked.
    2
  494. My deepest respect.

  495. Lovely!

  498. Suggesting Q was hilarious. ..Good you are checking this in English. You have a better background for seeing what is going on. I think you need to know Russian in order to get that everything does not come from the USA. Many friends of mine have this America-centric view.
    2
  499. Thanks a lot. I have been really blind to all this. I had this dreamy idea of Russia as cultured. More so than our own government that took down tve Y-block. There are references. Europa Nostra for one tried to save it.
    2
  500. Acceptance of differences is important to him. Very articulate. What the west has learned along the way.
    2
  501. I do not always agree with your expressions, but I stand by you and Ukraine. I guess this is your point, in a wider perspective.
    2
  502. Macron tried to talk to Putin. No more. Patriot systems are necessary for Ukraine. Crimea belongs with Ukraine, Russia has been a tenant, and an occupant. A moral collapse is dangerous. Trump has often been able to talk to the hearts of villains. I think this is what he is trying to do.
    2
  503. Algorithms is my guess.
    2
  504. You do not want to alienate the US, I understand that. BUT the current government has been stopping USAID to “shit countries”. This seems to mean that Ukraine is loosing funding for schoolbooks and repair of infrastructure. It does not look good to me.
    2
  505. I remember my hostess in Ukraine break into despair in 1995: «They are theives!» The oligarcs had taken the common goods and made the shared public property private.

  510. I find this very enlightening. My hometown has the ambition of being trauma-sensitive, as we have many refugees, and people with other troublesome backgrounds living here. I have learned that trauma is often released when you come into a safe place, with safe people. Even though Ukraine is not my home country, I kind of love it too, since I have been there, so I do understand that YOU love it so deeply. Keeping up the zest for life is just so encouraging to everyone. You are definitely on the right track there. That is what trauma treatment aims for. .. My Grandma’s sister was not happy to see poplars in her childhood garden. Why? She had seen such trees in Ravensbrück, the prison camp. She just mentioned it, and then gave up after being met with responses that did not get it. You get each other in Ukraine. So what you say makes perfect sense. And you are strong, with a zest for life.
    2
  511. What impressive history!
    2
  512. Do what Pakman suggests. Provide better data.
    2
  513. Listen to interviews with russians. Too many russians go out against people who oppose the war, they snitch on them, so they are sent to jail. Children are taken from anti-war parents or parents who allow their children to oppose the war. Mysterious murders of people who work against the current policies. Knowing this, it must be terrifying, maddening to be so gaslighted . ..
    2
  514. This makes a lot of sense. I watched how Zelensky was pleading.. these people you are sending to attack us, they are not cattle..

  515. I will share this. It is important.

  516. Is this the greatest national day of Ukraine?

  518. I avoid people like that. Complex PTSD.

  519. Greatly talented.
    2
  520. There are several here on youtube. There were TV-productions in Scandinavia showing the problems with it, and that led to more restrictive medical practice.
    2
  521. The Russian poet and writer, Irina Ratushinskaya spoke USA as a “foreign planet”. I am apprehensive. I remember Trump talking about Kim Young Un, saying “We fell in love”. So actions count more than words.
    2
  522. You should definitely make that cartoon.
    2
  523. I wonder where and whom to ask. It is the meaning of the name Ukraine. Since you are a linguist, I think you can answer. I question the interpretation of Ukraine meaning 'on the border', Looking up "krai" in the Russian dictionary Ozhegov, and 'krai' has three meanings. Two of them meaning 'region, area'. Also, in the Ukrainian dictionary I got, 'kraina' means 'land', so Ukraina would then mean 'In the land'. Another question is about the russian base in Sevastopol. I read that it was "rented".The damage done from that base as we saw in Mariupol proved more than anything that Crimea must be ukrainian.

  524.  @lesleycooke4055  where does that information come from .. Russian bots?

  525. I am so thinking of you <3

  526. Not insane, just part of a culture, and trying to protect its people. Still, israelis point out that they are playing the victim card all too often. Anyway, it is sad what is going on.
    2
  527. People who cannot take what you have to tell, can chose to shelter themselves, so allow yourself to speak. There are people who can take it.
    2
  528. I can understand that it is hard to realize this. Still, I read the Genocide Convention when Mariupol was destroyed, and Gaza seems even worse. Israel as such makes sense to me. But so does the Genocide Convention applied to Gaza.
    2
  529. Is Intifada synonomous with genocide of Jews?
    2
  530. Stop taking the homes of the palestinians, or the arabs, whatever you prefer to call them. Allow Christians from Bethlehem to celebrate Easter in Jerusalem. As a Jewish friend stressed, and she is upset with Israel: «Do not steal, do not lie, do not kill.» A particular relationship with God means that your sins will be exposed. So when others sins stay hidden it is not necessarily a sign of closeness to God. Except when there is foregiveness, that is.
    2
  531.  @aurimixas  as a consequence of war aggression. World War two, not just the war for the russian motherland.
    2
  532. In touch with the mainstream culture of Europe. - So true. You can even pick that up in an american singer-songwriter of Ukrainian heritage, Melanie Safka.
    2
  533. Escalation management might be more useful when two equals are fighting. The guarantee from the Budapest memorandum are broken, first by Russia, that even attacked, then by USA, that even denies you Patriot systems for self defence. It is a good thing that you focus on military targets, not hurting people.
    2
  534. Withdrawal from across 1991 borders would help a lot. I pity people who loose their livelihood. Helping the poor would be better than this horrible war.

  535. She is too young to consent in other matters. Just wondering.

  536. Looking into Jazz’ eyes, a special kid, very different from the mom. The mom just wants this starry eyed kid into some box. Comparing to Nemo, and that genuine happiness we saw after winning Eurovision with «tThe code».

  537. Nuance to untruth: misunderstanding, guesswork, not fact, misleading, lying, looking at it from a wrong angle, be mistaken..
    2
  538. Look to countries with high follow up and high vaccination rates. ..
    2
  539. There are several accounts of the Donbas- people being treated like other minorities, sent to the battlefield - as disposables. .
    2
  540. I like languages and if you, in your entertaining manner could tell me a little bit more about portuguese.. You are entertaining. And yes, I would also have eaten too much .. or too little.. I get that reaction.
    2
  541. I can imagine you are tired of this crap. There are people who see you for what you are, and there are many who disagree with immigration policies in the Schengen. I guess it is of no comfort that you are not alone, just a perspective. The importance of taking care of democracy and speaking out in time becomes very clear to me.
    2
  542. I think it is the way they read the Bible, and the examples they pick that allow them to forget fundamentals like: Love your neighbor as yourself.
    2
  543. What do you make of former procuror Natalya Poklonskaya. She worked in Kyiv during Maidan, went to Crimea, accepted the annexation, called it legal. Was deputy in the Duma for United Russia for a period, and had to leave her job in Moscow after stating in an interview with Gordeyeva that Ukraine is not Russia.
    2
  544.  @Bus-tator  After.
    2
  545.  @Bus-tator  when I was in Ukraine in 1995 some people around me were nostalgic. One of the things was the rise of crime affecting ordinary people, that children could be kidnapped on the streets and could not play outside alone. Poklonskaya had been prosecuting such networks until she was poisoned. That this experience led her to become a traitor seems likely. So when Anna quotes the saying "Evil must be punished.." it is important to note.
    2
  546. Russians seem to me to be quite subtle in their reservations. I keep wondering if the authoritarian practice of beating still is prevalent, like Dostoyevsky described it. Leaving many russians with learned helplessness. .. The violation of norms is an important reason to stay away. . I get a lot of information from social media. I have learned a lot more than I knew. . I am not sure that all this is so totally black as you describe it, but it is also a lot darker in many instances.
    2
  547. Intriguing. It is NOT Russian, more mysterious, softer. The alphabet is the least problem when you really set yourself the goal of mastering it. I know from Russian studies.

  552. I have a very smart daughter, so I have never ever questioned your qualifications. Your are smart and a good student. Yes, there are people like you. I have met some. I do appreciate your humility, and the fact that you see yourself as a human like any other.
    2
  553. That was a substantial testimony.
    2
  554. His valedictorian speech seemed to be all about what his classmates would value. So he gets what people like. But some emotional depth seemed lacking. Still. When people mention insanity, I have seen similar things. Even valedictorians getting through higher education and then the insanity surfaces. Yes, he does remind me of people I have seen hospitalized for dangerous insanity.😮
    2
  555. My condolences! Allowing evil to be in power. It seems all too easy. It is not according to Jesus who said that - the thief comes to steal, murder, destroy.. I have come to give life, a surplus of life. When church leaders support this, I think of this.
    2
  556. As a former student of Russian, I know what you are talking about, when you mention Міхаїл Булгаков. That siperiority complex is evident in many situations.
    2
  557. God bless Ukraine ❤ May you find the way to peace and security. And we keep supporting Ukraine.
    2
  558. A stressfull memory.
    2
  559. I really wish you a happy new year, when you will see peace within internationally recognized borders. I know from you that Ukraine goes by the principle of not targetting civilians. I guess there needs to some clarification of what went on with civilian casualties in Belgorod. Some people only know about that. I am glad that you also handle such questions, and that you keep us updated.
    2
  560. I think the name hazel-bush is linked to the Russian concept of kudraviy..It is round in shape, lots of branches.
    2
  561. I get that mixed feeling of compassion and pointing at civil responsibility. Verhovna rada recognized Ichken (correct ??)
    2
  562. I agree. The most dangerous country is that of the aggressor.
    2
  563. I see that sånt er, and I think it is important to have back up solutions available. Thanks for the reminder. I understand that it is stressful
    2
  564. I know the feeling :-)
    2
  565.  @youknowme1475  yes, possibly some wandering people. My paternal grandmother used to joke about that. I got my dad to take a DNA - test in order to find out, and from that I know it is the U4 - lineage. That didn’t really tell me enough, maybe you know some more?
    2
  566. There is a shocking resemblance. I have been wondering how come..
    2
  567. Humble people.

  570. I’d like to hear about Vidbir and the European Song Contest.

  571. If we get upset, Doctors tell us just to leave and focus on nice things.
    2
  572. You give some unique insight.
    2
  573. Их любовь спасла их.
    2
  574. Or see through their lies and false judgements. Actually, a lot of people who know Russian were aware of the sinister problems early on.
    2
  575. Learning to play new music by heart. It makes for a much more expressive performance.
    2
  576. I wonder if that young military man on leave in Odesa 1995, could have been the later general Zaluzhniy. When I learned that he had been at the Military Academy in Odesa, it was actually possible. I was not in particular fond of the military.. But this young man, blond, confident, friendly shook my hand. Something about his movement and his straight forward appearance, makes me think that it could have been him. If so, it would be very interesting to read his biography. That strong and friendly confidence has definitely been an asset to Ukraine. There are several talented people in Ukraine, and your ability to stay united, gives hope.
    2
  577. As a former student of Russian Language and Literature, I got the impression that ukrainian was somewhat less valuable. Having experienced that, and having been influenced by that, I know that this is extremely important. Even with my interest in music, I could not name a single Ukrainian composer or musician.
    2
  578. You gave a lot of nuance. Deep emotional connection, whether it be a therapist, a counselor has always been valued, I think. Old people had some of that role in previous days, but they did not have research to back up what they said, only life experience and tradition, somehow. Bashing a whole field of work makes me sceptical. You might have thoughts about what it is and what it is not, is something more valid. A musician I know, says that music is the best there is. I myself, am into music, but I do see that we have different roles that may enhance society as a whole.
    2
  579.  @ЭЮЯ-о3к  you know best about that. It was spiteful more than insightful, and not helpful for understanding what is going on.
    2
  580.  @TheDrAstrov  I would not use that word. A war is going on, and people die on both sides. It is most of all tragic. If the Z-people would respect Ukraines borders and withdraw, some of this can be avoided.
    2
  581. Stopping the attacks on Ukraine!
    2
  582.  Matt Daugherty  yes, and I know the thought of my mother’s tears saved me at some point. That was my hope. Yes she is in deep grief.
    2
  583. If there is a change of heart in Moscovia, they will show og by creating safe bufferzones, very unlike January 2022.
    2
  584. This explains to me why so many Jewish therapists have developed life enhancing treatment and thinking. Well explained.

  585. It is like there leaders are addicted to war.

  587. Survivor’s guilt.

  588.  @brandoninhofer6592  it is more nuanced than that. I heard the whole vlog.
    2
  589.  @brandoninhofer6592  I think this vlog has a lot more nuance to it than you suggest. I would recommend listening thoroughly.
    2
  590. What I want to express here, is that this can explain several suicides, and bad reputation of people who live by persona. Young idols cannot bear it. The masc is a song by one of them.

  591. ❤

  592. Empathy would be good.
    2
  593. My condolences ! Hugs and hopes!
    2
  594. I was just quoting what was written in the Atlas of the World. It was kind of unknown, but I have not seen it elsewhere. And that should be a requirement before taking it as factual.
    2
  595.  @sebastianwrites  thank you. I respect facts.
    2
  596. It actually makes sense. I have seen it. Russians planning to get Ukraine back under their domination. I have seen the comments in Russian that «Ukraine does not exist». How much do you know about how ukrainians suffer under russian domination? Ukrainians have a very good reasons for not wanting russian domination.
    2
  597. I am thinking of the deep impact of gentry on russian culture..almost all the famous literature comes from people of the gentry class.
    2
  598.  @SiliconCurtain  yes, I know. Lots of talented people were killed or died in other ways. My point is that in the classical Russian culture there are few examples of non-gentry talents. There was a great divide among people, and it seems to me that some of it was not healthy. Ukrainians were more on the sane level, although some were richer, some had less.
    2
  599. Explaining some of the most insane divisions.
    2
  600. I am interested. My children are parents themselves. I am learning. I want to give them reason for staying connected, and for that to happen, I need to have my own balance and supportive people.

  602. She is unreal. Not in touch with her feelings.

  603. We finally get it. It was a horrible war against Chechnya.
    2
  604. I am trying to get what causes this obsession with «peace», since he does not seem to care about the lives of others. He seems to care about some war weary soldiers. He excaggerates the numbers of soldier casualties. And some villains who others despise. . He has been living a long life in conflict, so I understand his need for personal peace. But I suspect that he thinks he can achieve «peace» through domination and forced submission. . Of course you feel betrayed. I cannot see why you shouldn’t. Your logic seems alright.
    2
  605.  @777zebo  makes me wonder about the crises handling. How is the system for telling about deaths to people who are close? In Norway, the loved ones were the first to get informed. If that doesn't happen it is a public matter.
    2
  606. I support your need for air defense. While I see and get your logic about striking military objects in Russia, is that the only way? ..
    2
  607.  @piseag458  I guess there are some. The bombings of Ukraine needs to stop, somehow.
    2
  608. ​ @ciararespect4296  thank God that has not happened. I hope it won't. Hardships, yes.
    2
  609. "Russian soul" is meant to be positive. . "Russian ghost" is a translation of something really eerie.
    2
  610. I have been guessing that weapons to Israel are about resistance to Iran.
    2
  611. So nice to watch. I admired the iron-craft protecting the windows in Odesa, when I was there. Not that these things do not exist elsewhere, but I really noticed them there. Small details may decide the beauty and attractiveness of something crafted.
    2
  612. @mimo.1467 what did THAT mean? Many Jews, especially people I know, put a high value on empathy. Can you explain that emoji?
    2
  613. Even my GP wpuld think this is just uplifting and inspiring. Thanks your your friendly invitation. I am looking forward to that time.
    2
  614. These are genocidal actions. .. No military there, just people and culture. I am so sorry for all people destroyed and all culture memories destroyed. I am so sad. Everyone are campaigning for Gaza, but now.. It is so easy to forget. Ukrainians know Russian and understand what they are talking about. Those who understand the language must be listened to.

  620. There were Jews who tried negotiation, I believe, with their deep belief in reason. Having tried that, a lot of them got away, if they had the chance. I had to laugh when Starsky suggested that Trump should have negotiated with the shooter. There are times for everything. I remember, and we saw it on the news, that President Zelensky wanted to talk to Putin before the fullscale invasion. Putin, arrogantly despising Ukraine, would only talk to Biden. That tells me a lot about the negotiation possibility.
    2
  621. Keeping the hopes for peace alive, knowing og has happened in other regions.
    2
  622. With a high conflict personality dreaming of peace it takes a specialized approach. I don’t know if it was possible. I was not really surprised. The things the americans in the oval office said were hurtful to a president who feels the pain of his people, and the danger they are facing.
    2
  623. Good to know that you want to learn, that you listen to us. I am surprised by the extent of snitching in Moscovia. Many protesters get jailed because of snitchers.
    2
  624.  @yepiratesworkshop7997 maybe..
    2
  625. Disconnect is the word. Anxiety is obvious.
    2
  626. Horrible hate crime it was referenced to. This Ruzzian enjoyed being in Germany, and did this? !! I appreciate your demystifying what is going on in you mother land. I had some illusions before the fullscale invasion. So thanks for healthy views and insights.
    2
  627. What horrible legacy .
    2
  628. What about the Khazara?
    2
  629. I think the children have different temperaments, and thus experience different repercussions.
    2
  630. Some new knowledge has come out of this. I talked to a young lady on the transport who had occupied a reserved seat. She quickly turned at me with this bright smile, before turning her head away. Later she peeked fearfully back at me several times afterwards, but she paid no heed to my admonishment though. My thoughts: She is a victim of abuse.
    2
  631.  @sr2291  It is possible for some, in some instances. Well done. Entanglements are different.
    2
  632. I'll share this on fb and see what happens.
    2
  633. It is clear that Ukrainian military technology is on top at present. May you be safe and live in peace.
    2
  634. No wonder the leader in Kreml has to give a face saving speech. What else could do against this shame.
    2
  635. Why didn’t the phone witnesses call the 911 immediately?
    2
  636.  @kkkk2916  you cannot expect understanding from those you attack with letal weapons. But bystanders may see your humanness.
    2
  637. That is a good thing. I hope some of you will be able to share your experiences of how peace can be established.
    2
  638. This sounds as a very depressive, hopeless response. And no trust that Israelis have anything good in mind.There may be reasons behind this. I am saying there MAY.. Being familiar with depression, it is easy to see this as an expression of hopelessness, whatever caused it. Zeligman’s dogs’ reaction. «No matter what we do, nothing helps. You will harass us anyway».
    2
  639. It is very necessary. Peace researchers argue that a negotiated plan would be better in the long run. . The best suggestions so far was for someone who wants to learn Russian, to take a sign with "no to war" on the Red Square, and take it from there.
    2
  640.  @ricksimon9867  of course. Anger is part of grief. What a horrible waste.
    2
  641. As to the numbers, I remember there was estimated 100 000 casualties. Then the confirmed number was 30 000. You mention 50 000. Of course it is difficult to find the exact number, given the inability to count exactly diring the circumstances.
    2
  642. There are many human russians, as there are americans, as there are ukrainians.. .. We have human nature. I don't expect ukrainians to love russians for the time being. But that is a matter of trauma. I am really horrified by what some ruzzians are doing to their fellow citizens. In a way it is more frightening than the war. I guess she experienced less racism in Russia, as russians really value sports and Peak Performance.

  643. Going public comes for various reasons. I think you have mapped quite well how not to be taken down by irrelevant comments. At first I thought: I don’t watch TikTok, why watch this vlog. But I am glad I did.

  644. This is reminding me of old folk songs where the killed victim is asking The Mother MARY for a place in Heaven for her loved ones, even those who were guilty. In that way describing the pure heart of the victim. Just mentioning this, because not all victims want revenge

  645.  @ohmygollyjoshrubin  I guess this is essential.

  646. I am not sure that it is PTSD. Haters like this exist a lot of places, and they have something off in their personalities, venting at soft targets. Narcissism, psycopathy, sociopathy may also be an explanation. I have respect for these people. They are doing the best out of what they have.

  654.  @mbaxter22  but of course, in Mariupol, there are people who have strong connections to Russia, somehow. Not everyone makes sense of the current animosity. I will not hold it against people either that they find it hard to fathom the Ruzzian aggression.

  659.  @happyjay9168  I know, and it gives me shivers. I think the critique coming from a league of veterans in Israel is important in this respect. Actually, I think we find some of the best critiques of what is going on inside the Jewish community. Why, they know the background, the community, the thinking, and they also realize they prize to pay for chosing bad options, like not leaving room for judgement. One example is when hostages were shot, because they were in a «Cleared zone».
    1
  660.  @happyjay9168  this was criticism from a veteran sniper, previous IDF. Btw, I try to see the broad picture.

  663.  @romamak2367  As to comparison: While ukrainians really were reduced. There were 80 millions a hundred years ago. Still, the israelites grew in numbers while in Egypt under the Faraos, they were still oppressed. But even that was not genocide.

  674. Congratulations❤ . I follow some Russian vlogs from Odesa. When I see comforting expressions for the "Russian-speaking population" I know that new attacks are being prepaired. I don't know how to counter this. Some people, who appear to be odesans seem very worried about losing their mother tongue and literature. I was surprised to see that these sentiments still exist. I also remember the proud guide telling me about Pushkin in the Pushkin museum back in 1995. I am not in favor of destroying historical memories or literature as long as we realize that now is when we live. We are creating our own history. The past is for learning. That the statue of Catherine the great was removed, is understandable, because of the current attacks and claims from the aggressor. . My condolences to Odesa.

  688. Remember: Soothing music is for every voice, like every lullaby, every football fan, every child learning the music of language and entertaining themselves. . Mind you, I hear you. Missing all these modern conveniences is kind of scary. Even more difficult when it is someone who wants to harm you. It is worse than Covid or bad weather, because of evil intent. While the situation in Ukraina is terrible. The insanity in Russia .. I don't know. It is a scary place to be for russians who get what is going on.

  689. Nostalgia can be a problem. Witnessing this war, I realize that the minuset of nostalgia and «everything was better before» can become dangerous. Remembering the past and being conscious about historical facts can help shaping a better future. I keep wondering about the role of memory in all this. Stalin utilized the role of icons in the orthodox church. I guess many people only see this connection.

    1
  699. In that case she will probably be in an institution, where she gets the care she was using Stephan Sterns for. Her answers about her last talk with Madeline were so unspecific, it could have been made up. Psychiatric patients sometimes commit crimes due to their illness, so we cannot rule out that, even if she has a severe disability.

  705. Thank you for bringing insight.

  706. I keep wondering about the testimonies of people who have been to Israel and have been visiting to the Westbank and in Gaza. Are they fooled, when they are shocked? The IDF-veterans who go against brutal behavior, is there something they don’t get, or is the fact just that this is extremely complex?

The war is also going on in false accusations and rumors, to put disbelief into people’s heads. You see what you see, but rumors may stay rumors. There is a lot going on into looking into those matters by those who do that for work.

  747.  @spring7250  there is something called royalties. There is also something called investment, for the sake of not having to rely on others for personal sustainability. People watch their productions. That results in royalties. I I am not lying. I do not get paid for my comments.

I don’t think it is OK to see all that tragedy if you cannot do anything about it. I am thinking about the occupied territories and what people there are going through. Imagination when knowing what I already know, I know you really deserve air defense.

  769. I am very happy for XEPCOH. A friend of mine, who loves alternative culture remarked that there was this black and red flag hoisted in Kherson, beneath the yellow and blue one. She was certain that this was a sign of fascism. I have been told that this flag is an old flag. I wonder what modern ukrainians put into it. Of course we can never know exactly what people mean, by seeing a flag. I know about the rhetoric of the aggressor state, and my alternative friend may of course have bought into that.

  775. Russia has abused its position on Crimea. Abuse it, loose it, goes the saying. Instead of withdrawing peacefully from the old marine base, Mariupol and many other places were destroyed from Crimea. If Russia did have reason to claim the peninsula, that reason was lost by the destruction of Mariupol and other war crimes.

  778. BTW after sharing my own thoughts, I really appreciated your delicate analyses. I have seen a peaceful and articulate Ukrainian really get worked up by remarks from Russian.

  780. Super interesting. The shock of what was happening in Russia got me in the emergency room. I was adviced by my GP to avoid everything about Ukraine and Russia. I guess she wanted me to restore a sense of safety. I have been drawn to news, presented by humans who deal with it emotionally. Making sense of what is happening seems to calm me. I felt terrible about not folloeing the GP's advice, and it ended with conflict and a change of GP.

  782. The brutality of his childhood is evident. In another interview he said that the first task of the palestinians is to stop the child abuse in their culture, and after that, find out what to do about their statehood, nationhood, or integration. He is clear about the qualities of Israel. Actually, Israel helped him out of the brutality he grew up with.

  784. What a mess! Of course, Hamas could have given up their arms, raised a white flag and brought the hostages back. It seems to me there are very different versions floating about. I have reason to believe you about these rockets stopping the food aid. That Hamas shot them. At the same time there are several witnesses about unfair treatment from israeli soldiers. I don’t know how widespread these things are. What I am certain of is that fairness, justice, and peace go together. I really hope you find a way, and that your soldiers will manage to avoid civilian casualties. When people who are in favor of Israel, find things that go against ethics, and they tell about it, I also have reason to believe that they have seen something. I really do hope you find a way, that give you who live on this land, including those who call themselves palestinians a future and justice.

  787. Praying for these people who were killed going by their civilian lives and what they leave behind is a good suggestion. I do believe there were hopes about Trump's talk of peace plans. I know people who put hope into that, because they were tired of war, and dreaming of peace. I did not actually believe that it was realistic, after having followed Mary Trump, Bandy Lee, and several other commentators. I watched the insurrection on January 6th 2021, and I witnessed how The Donald could speak warmly to people that Biden and others would call thugs. I get your sentiment about this unrealistic "peace plan". I do think Ukraine should get those Patriot systems that you are offering to buy. You need good defence systems.

  802.  @j3ffn4v4rr0  I remember a student demonstration in Oslo against the yearly budget when someone came up with a rhyme that our prime minister should be dead. Soon it sounded throughout the demonstration. I did not like, I don’t think most meant it either. Anyway, that prime minister died of old age, respected as a politician by all political parties, it seems. .. But I don’t blame someone who finds that scary. What dominates is what counts.
    1
  803.  @arijao92  I remember. Still, as I do understand a good deal of Russian, and am quite familiar with that culture, I do not find this so difficult. I have heard a lot of explanations. The fact that America has some dark sides, people in power who want the US to be superior in every sense and that Russia has to be humiliated, was a sad discovery. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t heard it explained from an american who didn’t see anything wrong with that position. So Lavrov was not completely wrong, only evading the hard questions, answering with counterattacks. That puts him in a defensive position. I guess the alternative would have been to leave office.

  804.  @mjouwbuis  may well be. Reading Russian classics, that is not a strange assumption. Some people want the old times back. Tsar, territory, .. forgetting about poverty for the many.

  805.  @immanuelkant5896  That seems so one-sided, that I do not think it is correct. The Russians are the attackers. You cannot blame the victim. Most americans do not want war. I do not think that Zelensky does either. Being a clown, means that you do not take yourself too seriously. If you take yourself too seriously, you will easily feel insulted and attack others.

As a former Russian student, it is my impression that ukrainian did not really count, it was just some folklore. Some of it just something you smirked at, like something rural. It is time we get to know the ukrainian composers, and not only the Eurovision winners. They come from a culture, that is for sure.

  842. If you look at the theories of Peace researcher Johan Galtung, internal problems, like those Navalniy address are closely linked to the aggression of a country. So his focus on internal affairs dovetails nicely with his campaign against war. Just look at Navalniy posts here at youtube. . Aside from that I appreciate your perspective. I would think, or at least hope that even many russians will realize that Ukraine is a country in its own right, worthy of respect. But for the time being, it is clear that you cannot count on it. As long as "on Ukraine" is the proper expression in the orc-language, there is every need to be sceptical.

  851. Eden Golan was wellbehaved, accepting that the crowds expressed what they were thinking, which represents a democratic mindset.  Israel doesn’t seem to mind atrocities executed by their own people, and that is never smart, when you move into an area where others live. No neighborhood would accept that. . I hated the booing during the concert. That literally hurt. And when it hurts, I don’t think it brings peace, which that area desperately needs, in my view.

  868. I am still not fond of military stuff. The voice of the vozhd in the east nauseates me, so I won’t listen to his voice. Something that I found a bit fun was how Zack the Russian combined the Grieg piece from the troll scene in Peer Gynt with Solovyov’s angry outbursts. This associated Solvyov with the Patriach Troll. That was such an appropriate hit. Peer Gynt had been enticed by the Patriarch Troll’s daughter, but in order for Peer Gynt to become part of the royal troll family, he would have to accept that his eyesight be changed, so he would see black as white, big as small, ugly as beautiful.. etc. .. Thank you for doing your part in the informational war, so we see what is, and not what the trolls want to see.

I cannot check what is true or not. But I have seen photos, and looking at faces, some seem very ordinary. Some may be far right, but not all. Feeding the aggressor state with this un nuanced description may cost lives. The assumption of hidden truths in Iraq was devastating. No need to repeat that, or excaggerate the truth.

  887.  @tjenadonn6158  seems like friendly and even emotionally intelligent people can allow despots to rule. I was figuring this when I witnessed a busdriver, maybe from Eritrea or Ethiopia. Super elegant way with passengers, lovely, friendly personality. Still we have refugees from Eritrea, and signs of despotism in Ethiopia. You may appreciate the ability to avoid conflict and promote friendliness, but somehow, some bad people make use of it.

  890.  @ransertu7630  a vlogger in Mariupol caught buses heading to Piter, for vacation last summer. This vlogger is careful not to say anything negative. It was just for recreation and healing. ..There was also sequence during the one year celebration of the invasion in Moscow, where children from Mariupol were presented, thanking uncle Yuriy for «saving them». Now the girl who said this, had lost her mother in shelling, but scenes like these are pretty obvious. If you want to look for it, I guess you will find more. These examples are just something I stumbled upon. Also, in order to prosecute, the evidence must be trustworthy.

  892. In principle, you may recognize a state, even when the authorities are failing. We need to look more into the reasoning behind the recognition. It implies expectations of responsible action. Holocaust denial needs to be challenged. It could be argued that Israel consists of immigrants and refugees, people who have moved there in order to get a better life and escape terrorizing. That is a different perspective than the colonialization perspective from the palestinian side. And to me that calls for treating the newcomers with dignity. You mention a lot of palestinian inadequacies that explain an israeli viewpoint. There is a danger in that, because you may fall for the temptation of not recognizing legitimate needs and rights of the other part. For the outside world, I think it is hard to imagine the ongoing threat of terrorism, or power imbalance and following subjugation that people between the river and the sea have to deal with in their daily lives.

  927. A lot of the background for this is that many Norwegians have been deeply enthousiastic about Israel. They have been there. They have been talking to people of all backgrounds. Norway also has the experience of being subject to the rule of two neighboring countries. It is about recognizing the humanity of arabs in the area, who call themselves palestinians, however colonial that name is. It is their choice of name. I am really hoping for peace and justice for all who live between the Jordan river and the Mediterranean sea. And with this also comes a recognition of Israel’s right to live in peace. If Palestine will decide on another name or not, it will be their choice. Like Oslo changed its name from Kristiania (after a Danish King) back to the old OSLO.

  928. I got a book from an unknown town in Ukraine. I looked it up on Youtube, and I commented some prewar videos from that town. Not long afterwards that town was bombed.

I wonder if there are safe ways of finding out about things, or if I should only forget about it.

  947. The clearest descriptions of Russian propaganda is in Russian, and you can’t understand it without knowing more about the culture and the language. A journalist student spoke about it at the onset of the war that she wrote a thesis about Goebbels- propaganda. She said that she had never expected to see it played out in real life. FYI, I am not paid. I was just a Russian student, and as that I have been in Ukraine on a scholarship.

  948. I think it is hard for ukrainians in Ukraine to realize how terrible it might be to live in Russia now. I get it. Actually, in a way I think that things going on in Russia now is eerie, and really scary. It is not like the threat of bombs while you sleep, .. but, this spooky, not being able to trust anyone, .. . It IS SCARY what is going on in Russia now.
    1
  949. Still, I remember the father of Malala Yousafzai saying: «I did not clip her wings». And that is exactly what is going in Russia now. Wings are getting clipped, people losing their sanity. As Pushkin put it in a poem, God forbid that I ever go insane, it would be easier to be a tramp and a beggar, work hard and go hungry. .. Something to think about. I think Zelensky wants to get russians to go home and fight. That is what it is about.

  973. Skazhi Gordeyeva has some of those who made me realize the current terror. A filmmaker who talked about RT and said with deep sadness: I see only evil .. That was at the onset of this war. My impression of Peskov was that he is trying to look like Yevgeniy Oneygin. Hard really to maneuver like he does. I could see the fear in his eyes. Russian contemporaries..(last century) Shishkin, Sholzhenitzyn, Brodsky... Ratushinskaya (She chose Russia, despite growing up in Odesa, being married to a man from Kyiv) I wonder what she would have thought now. She died in 2017. Accepting the annexation of Crimea (!?!) There was this Pushkin museum I visited in Odesa.. . My time with Russian literature will not be erased, although I stand with Ukraine's right to the borders of 1991 and Ukraine's right to define its path forward. Keep teaching us more. It is really interesting, engaging and long needed. . Coming from a northern country, I do respect the russian people's ability to inhabit those spaces. And I guess I get more of that mentality developed for coping. Ukraine, though has more of a southern mentality. Kurkov is right about different mentalities although there are individuals everywhere.
    1
  974. That is not the way to peace. Jews came to Israel as refugees and immigrants, with historical connection to the area. Very much like any UN refugee who get a new land they have a right to be in. The violence that came, the normalization of killing each other has brought tragedy to both parts.

  977. It seems that Russia will be broken into different statehoods,, then. Is Russia about to fall apart as a unified nation? All these accusations seem to be pointing at problems within Russia.

  978. You have point that those who oppose the war are literally behind bars or they have escaped somehow. So those who officially are allowed to represent more likely than not, accept the aggression, or are to worried about what they may lose. On the other hand. Those who oppose the war have no protectors in high positions. Still, there have been negotiations where principles of coming together for mutual understanding has become part of postwar Europen culture. The hope is that when you see each other as human beings you might be able to work for peace. Like if russians take the consequence of realizing that ukrainians are not satanists or nazis.. they might also realize that the war is meaningless .. and being brave and smart enough, be able to stop it. Many of our beliefs in peace keeping have been shaken this year. I am just describing what I see as the background. Firm boundaries are important in many cases.

  988. I have tried to argue at facebook about this, but this is better argued. It must be deeply insulting to get such an accusation from the very attackers who use nazi-methods. Projection could be one explahnation. Information bubble is the most innocent explanation. Blaming the victim is another. There is definitely an information war going on, and people who live their lives in information bubbles find these descriptions reliable. We who have been to Ukraïne, and know a lot of the complexities through meeting real people, we really find these bubble dwellers to be very stressful. Like they accuse us of only trusting the main stream media.

  991.  @meowymeow123  although there are a lot of misconceptions there is also a good deal of compassion towards human suffering as grounds of the protests. I know some of these people. They are kind hearted towards human suffering, be it refugees, or those who drown in the mediterranean- But Iranian women, may be disturbed by seeing the palestinian flag. They associate bad things. When there are laughing emojis commenting the suffering of gazan children, it does not seem good, nor righteous, even if the laughter is more at propaganda, than the actual suffering.

  993. Good to watch. I guess my golden retriever felt that I was anxious. But I found a way to calm her, made her sit when we encountered other dogs during our walks. Otherwise she would get into fights. I have thought up til now, by watching the body language of the dog that it had to do with establishing a superior position. By watching how the head was held high and the tail, it seemed like some power game.

  1005. Watching a video from that cathedral burning, I kept wondering if you need fire extinguishers. It was painful to witness that nobody could do anything about that fire. We have had satanists putting fire to national heritage churches, so fire precautions are highly prioritized. . I am glad that it helps following you. It is a small thing. . Also, I could see in the comment sections of another youtuber that some attack on Odesa was being prepaired. . Actually, when UNESCO World heritage is willfully damaged, it must be a case for the UN.

  1006. I am certain that those who were displeased about giving up advanced military technology in Odesa in 1995, are happy now. While I did not care much about military technology, I realize this has been a great achievement and must being pride to many ukrainians. May you be able to protect your borders and your people in 2025, make people live safely in Kherson and become the true statehood of Crimea again.

  1008. So I wonder where this thinking originated. It seems to me that Zs are looking in the mirror and calling it a window. American intellectuals, feeling a sort of guilt for USA’s messing with other countries have been exxagerating the US influence, in my point of view. My guess is that Putin’s speech was mainly meant for influential people in the west who are critical of the military complex. They do not understand Russian or Ukrainian, and do not have the capacity to really understand what is going on behind the language curtain.

  1009. With an unknown terrorist some talks may give a better overview or maybe even a peaceful solution. This has been tested before. Russia was even invited to witness NATO polygons and rehearsals. UN too. Ruzzia is quite transparent about their objectives. Russian speaking ukrainians understand who they are and what they say and think. .

  1010. This is a common reaction when a child goes missing. Ulike the Ramsey’s and MacCann’s the parents were suspicious of each other, blaming each other, while they both were innocent. .. It is sad that they ended in divorce, I hope they manage to find common ground.

There are so many reports of the cruelty of the other from both sides. I sincerely wish you peace and a future, that includes all who live between Jordan and the Mediterranean. It is hard to fathom what is going on in the lives of all you who live there. I hope I never will fully understand. I get that you all are under a lot of pressure.

  1043. It could be seen as a rhetorical question. Beyond the spoken words, there was this feeling that the POTUS plan would not work, since it got questioned. It looked so nice, now it was ruined. And then there was this element of reality show. I don’t think Zelensky was to blame for that escalation. Maybe he could have kept a stiff upper lip when it did escalate, taking notes to himself that he was dealing with an unrealiable partner with no true understanding, and that he should try to get away from any further agreements.

  1055. Many aspects to this. Ruzzian propaganda uses this history as licence to attack and destroy. Repentence of true guilt is something quite different. That is acknowledging what actually happened and the pain it cost, and growing in true self respect. Bandera’s anti-sovjet/russian orientation may be the key to Ruzzian animosity, using nazi-connections as an excuse and a propaganda tool in order to activate their own people.

I wonder if something like that is going on.

  1089. I sent some songs to be worked on in Ukraine when the war broke out. When there were warnings I was hoping it was rumours. BUT on my search for meaningful content I came across a hateful russian nun predicting a war..That was about a year ago. Hatred like that did not seem like a loving god, so I closed it off. From time to time we need to recover. I think that the bubble bath producer was wrong when he said that creating bubble baths felt meaningless. A doctor from Doctors without borders answered question once about her needs when getting back home. A spa, a bubble bath, she said. So, since "a good soldier rests when he can", I think we all do good in caring. Actually, this manufacturer donated part of his sales to Ukraine. So we all do what we can, when we can.

  1090. It makes very much sense to have her played by a "black" actress. That strengthens the story's message, actually. On the other hand: Making the mermaid win in any other sense than containing her jealousy is a distortion. Containing jealousy and not acting it out is important. Life is not just about winners.

  1091.  @BigMoPrepper  this shows the same US-sentric view of the world that many US-leftists have. Russia wants dominance, and a bipolar world order like in the 20th centuries. Both current wars during Biden, have strong links to that Russian goal. Some say that Biden is weak in this sense. Looking backwards, you may have expected a more aggressive reaction towards Russia. I did. What has become obvious, is that NATO is not aggressive towards Russia. So that myth is debunked.

  1093. We see tendencies of cheaper building styles when many people all want to live in the cities. It is like: Oh.. we don’t need that, we can do that cheaper.. but prices and laws are in favor of a private market. On the other hand, parks, and recreational spaces are also seen as important. These two tendencies can collie, more housing, for less quality and good living environments. In comparison to Khruschevkas it may seem like a small thing that previous measurment requirements are no longer seen as necessary for young people, like having spaces for people with wheelchairs. The independent living movement is very much for building standards that let people in wheelchairs decide where they want to live.

I started stating my viewpoint, and I could see the other part got angry, he controlled himself and we went on with what we were supposed to do.

  1106. And when it comes to 'punch' and '5'. Ukrainian is an Indo-european language. The basis for calling a language indo-european are systematic variations of certain central words, like the word for five. This means that certain words can be traced througout the indo-european language family. The number of fingers on one hand is typical.

In Ukraïne they vote for leaders and change them. Same pattern as hundreds of years ago. There are deeply devoted christians in the ortodox church too, but now they are threatened and silenced.

I block friends who advocate for the aggressor state in a suspicious way on facebook, but we can say hello and chat when we meet. I tell them why I cannot have them as facebook friends. Also the Olympic committed thinks they want to avoid the problems that will arise pro/anti Israel, and lots of other wars going on around the world. It is about being polite in sports. Participants who participate in propaganda, and are used in propaganda are easier to dismiss, because they are not neutral, and just athletes. This is the most positive interpretation, I know. It may also, worse, be about corruption and not caring. At worst, it is direct disrespect for ukrainians.

  1134.  @thirstfortruth8904  No, she hasn’t killed anyone. And much of her impact is based on others who acclaim her, and use her as a banner. If she has a point, take heed. If not, let it go.

  1142. I will be going to Czechia soon, and I am looking for precautions in order not to spread fear or disrespect during my stay. What are the current rules of safety? I am vaccinated and I have also been recently tested. In that sense, everything about me is OK. But I wonder where do I find local regulations. How are the rules about mascs? Last year I was in Prague, and since we hardly used mascs then in my country, I was not too careful about usage then. It probably did no harm, as there was a low infection rate then, but now I think my behavior was a little disrespectful. I won’t repeat that.

  1144. Actually, this has surprised me. At the onset of the war I was worried that USA would destroy the architecture of the Cremlin. But what you explain reminds me of how victims of abuse are not secure enough from protection of society. The stalked victim is carrying the alarm, the perpetrator does not. As for my initial concern, I guess that was a result of Russian propaganda, vilifying the US.

  1145. Being able to act is a valuable sign of mental health. Escaping can be a sign of learned helplessness like Seligman's dogs, that gave up escaping because they felt it was hopeless. I guess russians come in a lot of variants, and it is necessary to be alert to that. Navalniy chose to return and fight. But it had a price.

  1151.  @chrisperrins8082  I was thinking in particular of an american audience, or people who are influenced from american culture.

Although I understand that these car thing can be explained by the moscovyian signs witnessed in Donbas 2014, you point out that this is overkill. Husbands of leading politicians seem to be a liability. You have a democratic right to speak about this.

  1170. I once knew an estranged parent. She could be cutting in her remarks. On the other hand she was a caring person. But she also had testified in court against her daughter’s boyfriend, who had been hiding illegal weapons in her flat. Yes, she missed her grandchildren and was not memorized when she died. No reception, no informing acquaintances. I am sorry about her destiny. I have not heard her daughter’s version, though. And she did not make public fuzz about it. There was a lot of uncaring in her family of origin. Your words bring me relief, as I do search myself whenever my children put some distance I did not expect. We grown ups and elder ones need to create reasons for trust and relating. We are responsible for doing that.

  1171. The King speaks to the nation at eight o’clock PM, New Year’s Eve. The Prime minister speaks at the same time on New Year’s Day.

  1172. It seems to me that all of us who really wished that atomic weapons did not exist and have been working for disarmament have made a mistake. Ukraine was not happy with being put in this role of being the one to give up on nuclear weapons. That there was some interdependence with Russia is another aspect. . When it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize it was for the support of civilian society. All parties who recieved it are standing up to the same authoritarianism, affecting all countries differently. Like it is difficult and sometimes inhumane to compare grief and pain, it is hard to get what others are up against. . In Norway I read some critic claiming that this prize was all in support of NATO. I think that criticism underestimates the personal integrity of those who were awarded the prize. Another civil case I was deeply engaged in, the chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize committee advocated the case against the state in court in 2020. So to me this make sense. We lost that case, but the role of civil society is something some uf us learned more about and became more aware of. It is an integral part of democracy. As you ukrainians know. Now that was somewhat defensive. It is clear, also that as victims of abuse, ukrainians feel no need for being assiciated with the country that stands for the abuse. I will not argue about that. I have seen abuse victims too close to ask for reconciliation or partnership of any kind. People from the abusive aggressor state do best by respecting you in every way. And if you find someone trustworthy, go gently about it. . I hope this clarifies. You deserve support in any way we can give it.

  1212. I looked up the facts of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum again. Like I remember, Russia was one of the guarantors for Ukrainian borders. So much for keeping that agreement. I was broken in 2014. The US, Great Britain, had signed, together with Russia. China and France were also guarantors of Ukrainian independence. So Ukraine was willing to give up its nuclear arsenals. It was supposed to be a step towards a more peaceful future, but alas, it was broken. Anyway, the US, Great Britain and France are stepping up. What is happening with China’s promise?

It turned out harmonious on the surface, but both involved confided with me that the situation was hurtful to them, even afterwards.

  1239. It is just so sad, such a waste of potential. Russia, the biggest land on earth, wants even more. It does not make sense. It is the saddest thing. You could blame Irina Ratushinskaia for approving the annexation of Crimea, but at least, she chose to live in Russia, when she did not feel at home in Ukraine. People in Ukraine who want to live in Russia seem to be welcome there now.

  1242.  @lesleycooke4055  good advice. I only know that you need to be critical of your sources, and that the officials of those who attacked her country are experts at false information. Her facial expressions are in sync with her message. She seems a lot more withdrawn than her husband, more of an introverted private type. I don’t think her looking away is showing anything else than thinking and processing. Also, she is listening to the interpreter. She is not that fluent in English. So for now, I do not think my private research is called for.
    1
  1243. ​ @ExtrovertedCenobite  what is it about your extroversion. Those things have been mentioned several times before. Of course there is every reason to hold the ukrainian government accountable at the same time as standing by so they don’t get destroyed, and their attacker gets away with their misdeeds. Olena Zelenska is controlled and polite, but also angry it seems to me. Since the beginning of the war ukrainians have been calling for air-traffic protection, closing the skys, and many innocent civilians have died since, from air strikes. She has firsthand knowledge of this.
    1
  1244.  @ExtrovertedCenobite  Russia is the aggressor. Let there be no doubt. It is not like Russia is some lunatic so you cannot expect normal behavior. Russia is not some circus bear that must be handled like a wild animal. I have more respect for Ukraine than you have. No matter what they did, they did not start this. It is their territory that has been invaded.

  1257. A russian nun from Arkhangelsk talked about how russian forces would swarm godless Europe. To me she did not represent a loving God, so I blocked her. Not professional. When Trump talks about Greenland, that is just one other aspect of threats coming from the north. There may be a weary spot there. We used to have good neighboring relations there. Every country needs some sort of identity, and Russia seems to have a strong identity of war. Wether you believe in military solutions or not. Get real. It hurts to see, but it is necessary.

  1270. What really convinced me of Timothy Snyder's perspective, was Russian comments. - Ukraine doesn't exist, was the most obviously aggressive argument during the start of the invasion. They argue that Ukraine means "borderland". A kasakh linguist demonstrated that "Ukraine" stems from "the land surrounding Kyiv".

  1271. Brian has been described as very introverted. Going away into hiding when all the world is eager to know everything, then seems like a natural thing to do. I guess this is an alternative view of his disappearance. His parents also may have been what we call over protective because of odd reactions on his part. This is a type of dynamic in families with a mentally ill child. Nothing of this rules out his possible involvement in Gabby’s death. Things would appear more normal if he chose to present himself.

  1277. I support and care about Ukraine. That is why I am following you. When it comes to Russia, I grieve what they have become, because I care about russians too. I studied their language and literature for years. That is how I discovered that Ukraine was a secret, buried in violence and oppression. I have witnessed the condescending attitude towards Ukraine, that is an element of this war. Now, I have also witnessed that Trump has a warm way of relating to people who are villains in the eyes of normal society. He feels that way himself. And yes. I believe he can be played by others who get him and his shame.

  1284. Funny about the translation «rest», I think it would be better with «relax», «taking a vacation», «going for a holiday». «Rest» is a too literal translation of the Russian word. I think you are one of the best English speakers I know of in Ukraine, BTW. . Actually, this description made me think of a norwegian diplomat, who had a tantrum in English against hotel personell in Arkhangelsk. It was recorded on video, and used as an example of racism. Norwegian authorities have apologized for her behavior, and she will certainly have some serious meetings with her managers. «This is not the way Norway looks at russians». Generally, there have been some border issues, but never as negative as you in Ukraine have experienced. «Good fences make good neighbors» seems to have worked well so far. As to taking pens and smaller things at hotels, I guess I am a little guilty of that myself. I love pens. But towels and that sort of stuff, never.

  1295. Makes me think of one of Rain’s prominent editors who initially hired Solovyev,. Now Solovyev is the chief propagandist of Russian television. Perhaps some similar development went on with him. The Rain editor says it is her greatest regret, that she introduced that man to television.

  1297. Your main point about not comparing a victim and a perpetrator is important. Actually Alice Miller looked into the childhood of Hitler and other perpetrators. This has been part of the reason why there now are laws against beating up children, even for transgressions. The desperate will to kill has been observed in Mariupol. I also believe that many people in the Red Cross, UN, and Amnesty have a hard time seeing how vicious some of this is. Russia is part of the Security council, and it is impossible to make a definitive stand because of the right to stop it by a veto. I think Crimea is a key. Allowing Russia to have a marine base there, has proven disastrous.
    1
  1298. Yes, it is scary. And life as we know will eventually be changed. Before this war, I was worried about the architecture of Kremlin, that the architecture would be destroyed. But during these months it has become clear that NATO does not want war. We don't want Russia to be destroyed. But it seems that current leadership in Ruzzia wants it, or maybe they are living the delusion of being indestructible. Well, that is far from the beauty of being human. There were survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I watched a female blogger in Odesa, who had stopped watching TV, who thought that the talk of Yaderka was just some propaganda - scare. I guess this is another way of managing fear and being able to focus on daily tasks. My impression was that she is not alone, and that women like her might be gullible to ruzzian sweet-talk. That is the propaganda style directed towards women, it seems. And it is in the local language, not translated into English, so western media might understand. I really hope this observation is helpful.

  1299.  @yuval1716  Tsvi Misingai has shown that there in fact is jewish heritage in these areas. Christians have been living in this area since the beginning of the Christian era. Even though they are called Arabs by usage. This could be very interesting research if there was not so much oppression.
    1
  1300.  @michaella9330  good to know. One more piece of the puzzle. As far as I understand there were locals there too, with whome Tsvi Misingai discovered hidden jewish heritage. Also surviving communities from when before the diaspora. So, I guess there is a mix. And listening and finding the truth will pave the way for justice and peace together.

  1301. That is a great point, because poles know what they are up against.

  1302. I agree that Crimea needs to come back to Ukraine. It always concerned me that Russian forces were allowed to remain there. It was very considerate of russian defense needs. Too much. I just wonder about the people who prefer the russian occupation. I mean locals. A lot of classical Russian literature was written by officers, with military education. Of course that has been shaping many concepts of Russia and what betongs to Russia.

  1304. Actually, you may march for arab- and palestinian rights, but not against music. To palestinians music and poetry is essential. Listen to Bashar Murad’s video Vilrid Vest. There, in the start, we hear what music and poetry means for the people you want to defend. This is my opinion, because I know all too well that we cannot take music or art for granted. And if it is all eaten up by politics, where will we then be?

  1305. I think he may be a representative of a western Russia-lover. Yes, he sums it up, and you show us cracks in his reasoning. He may be right about the devotion to the craft, though. We have those in the west too. Being devoted to your work and craft is not purely russian. I would add that I love passion for a craft. . As to Lenin, that may be just the opposite. Many people died in his day too, inside the country, but not abroad. Social democracy is not black or white, it is more complicated, annoying at worst, but still there are good and healthy practices in that way of ruling a country. . And I value crafts highly. I actually like that ;-) The man here is placed in a framing, a bubble. We do not know how it was put together.

  1309. There was a lot of consideration for russian security needs. Not escalating the submarine tragedy of "Kursk" and the refusal of assistance from western marines is just one example. -OK, they keep us out for the sake of military secrets. The russian marines were allowed to rent å place on Crimea in order to have time to relocate. They used it as a foothold and bombed Mariupol to pieces. Before 2022 and the big invasion, the russians were invited to observe NATO excercises.

  1310. I can see the insanity surrounding Russians. While it is not life threatening the ukrainians experience it, insanity is heart wrenching. If it is some consolation, there are a lot of people who never are able to travel. Some are nomads, though. One option is standing up to your government in such a visible way that you are granted an asylum. .. Idk.. I have never been in that position, or in your position.

  1312. ​ @cliveramsbotty6077  oh, thank you. The NATO bombings in LIbya were unrelated. That was just my first guess. I just read the suggestion of this terrorist having been to training camps in Belarus. .. We do not mention his name in Norway. It was new to me that Putin could have been involved. But these accounts of false flag operations made me think of that claim. I agree that it is important to substantiate claims with real facts.
    1
  1313.  @cliveramsbotty6077  thinking it over. You are right. IF there is any connection at all, it is different, and it is not false flag, if there is anything. Influence is a possibility, but it is not false flag.

  1317. I appreciate your intelligent updates. I am not at all surprised that ukrainians have managed to defeat the aggressor state. Ukrainians have done so before, and you are a people with deep knowledge of coping during dire circumstances. I might need to take a look at Jens Stoltenberg’s speech. I think he was chosen to continue because of personal character. His father, Thorvald Stoltenberg, replied to an accusation that he was shy of conflict. He did not see that as a problem, because «There are enough people who want to fight.» He had been negotiating in the Balkans. I only hope that he is not fooled. The acceptance of those who wanted to take down the signal building, the government building the Y-block, makes me sometimes question his judgement. I think there was some kind of right wing extremist pull in taking down that building. The demolition has been surrounded by a lot of NEWSPEAK reminding me of Ruzzian propaganda.
    1
  1318. Some commenter talked about reading between the lines. Well, I do. And I get it. I know about that caution that gets instinctive. Being surrounded by insanity, or treacherous squabblers.. I think you are brave. Talking as freely as you do. Something very important when being subject to narcissists is to live a rich life. Maybe this is the best you can do under the circumstances. You are not reckless or suicidal.

  1322.  @rastamon5969  it is best to look at it as a matter of health and not to make a big deal out of things. I myself chose to respect restrictions, and I took it as a pause. I was sceptical against vaccines at first, but chose to go for it after asking reliable health authorities about my case. Remaining friendly towards people of different opinion has also been important. Vaccine was the best option, I found. Where people have felt used or neglected, death numbers have been scary. Finding workable solutions..

  1325. I think there is some difference when it comes to imperialism. Russia is actually the largest country in the world. Israel can hardly be called large. .. There have been jews in the former roman colony of Palestine as well as beduins, drusians, palestinians. The situation is not as clear cut with Israel/Palestine. . I notice that despite being russian you do not glorify suffering. The sanctions are not based on principle as you are pointing out. . I don't think other nations have that sense of guilt towatds russians as there is towatds jews. I have jewish friends who absolutely do NOT cobdone the actions of Israel towards Gaza population

Even as a child in the sixties I heard about the measuring of skulls, which happened in Norway. I heard that long skulls were better than short skulls.. a reminiscence of the thirties. Mine was «short» BTW.. I hope times like that never come again.

  1337. Made me think of how we as students were received in the Soviet times. There was no demand that we change our opinions, just questions and answers about topics. I guess this was some of the russian hospitality. Compared to that, I get that the sanction reaction to these young guys are upsetting. More so to a russian than perhaps to a western european. We did become friendly towards Russian, and we excused a lot of things, thinking the west was too sceptical. I even hoped that Mr. Trump could make relations better, because of his experience with Eastern Europe. This is just to illustrate the high value of hospitality in russian culture. (Not only there) Hospitality and friendly recreption does influence a lot. So, yeah, Roman, you do have a point. BTW.. The sanction countries are wary of getting fooled, again. A war has many victims.

  1363. Were the media folks scared of revenge? Were they threatened? The president elect was terribly intimidating towards media folks in his previous term. Even in Russia the term fake news was adopted .. they actually talk about «fakes about the army» in Russian terminology, sending folks to prison for «fakes». These «fakes» have very often been facts. At least, aggressive journalism has been silenced. I just wonder what has been happening behind the lines, when they give up on facts. That exists in several true crime communities, though.

  1365. Having been a student of Russian, a believer in peace and love, it took me some time to sort out what was going on. I also remember sitting on the beach by the Black Sea in 1995 talking about the Budapest Memorandum. Yes, we thought it would be on the pathway to world peace, and that Ukraine could lean on the assuring promises from the US, Russia, Great Britain, China, and France. We could see Crimea at a distance. I was worried about the russian marines being granted allowance to stay there, in order to prepair new arrangements for the marine. I was increasingly worried when the arrangement was prolonged. After the destruction of Mariupol, I have no doubt, that Crimea has to be connected to Ukraine. The understanding of russian defence needs was not reciprocated. I knew who the aggressor was when I read comments stating that «Ukraine does not exist».

  1375. I remember watching one of those videos when Ruby described how she was struggling with living her life in a meaningful way she was happy with. Then she experienced the coaching of Jody as helpful, trying to recruit more followers. I found it all distasteful and unfollowed. . Ruby was at wits end with her life, and took what ever seemed to help. A weak sense of self, I guess. That may explain her subordination, first to Ruby, then to the legal system professionals she met.

  1390. I think he has this from palestinians who have been bullied by some jews. Bullying, and mob-mentality does happen. People who are trying to bring aid to starving civilians in Gaza and Hebron/Westbank have witnessed bad behavior by settlers, who are stopping and trashing the aid. I think this is just as evident as the atrocities of October 7th. Roger Waters also turned against Ukraine, and stood with the position of Putin. The rest of Pink Floyd stood with Ukraine. But Roger Waters is/was a passionate musician. I guess it is best that we keep to that, and don’t fall for the temptation to be influencers in politics. It is a temptation musicians must be aware of.

But I believe the commentators here who stress that doctors need to take a patient’s pain seriously, even though a patient does not seem very affected by it. BTW I know people with serious backpain, who could never murder a person, let alone plan for it.

  1413. I once read on psychiatry on crime by Berthold Grünfeld or Ingvald Nissen, I think. He meant that loss of memory was common in criminals concerning their criminal actions.

  1427. I got my first songwriter album at 66. I always used to think that if I was not fluent at pianoplaying by nine or if I didn't get straight A's in simple music writing at school, I could not do it. I thought the guitar wouldn't be such a problem, but ended up as a pupil of Frode Barth since I needed to learn some more technique in order to avoid muscle problems. .. He liked my songwriting.

  1430. As long as the command from Moses is kept. When there is a clear message that God does not discriminate between people, and is not bought, does not take bribes, in particular stressing the rights of widows, orphans and immigrants. Many israelis look at palestinians as immigrants. But Moses reminds that the israelis have been immigrants themselves, so they need to be just and love them. Now, genealogists may argue that the palestinians are not immigrants, but there certainly are enough of widows and fatherless among them now.

  1433.  @mrvron  do you think we agree on everything NATO does? We have the freedom not to agree. I don’t support this special operation and the atrocities done in the name of fighting nazi’s, when people get shot in the backhead for saying that there are no nazi’s here. Wrongdoings from NATO will not justify this «special operation». That is sidetracking the issue. If Russia acts so aggressively against a neighboring country, then don’t be surprised by seeking a coalition. Ukraïne gave up its nukes in order to have peace with Russia. NATO-countries do have a say in whether they want nukes on their territory.

  1434. I remember a distressed ukrainian in 1995 dealing with the post-soviet challenges in her personal economy and general safety. She talked about the oligarchs having taken over the shared welfare and goods making it private property. «They are thieves!» She came to this realization. Not everyone did, and they fell prey to nostalgic russian propaganda. Ukraine is really paying a high prize for fairness and freedom.

  1435. Seeing this now, I wonder if there would be some follow-up, now that we have a lot more experience with it.

  1436. I do not put much weight into the talk of the coming US president. He has been so antagonistic in other instances, so I do not think that he is peacefully minded. It is my impression that the russian culture has some strong identity related to war. On the other hand war is a terrible waste of people and natural rescources.

  1441.  @TheDrAstrov  Not so simple. Ukraine's internationally respected borders were agreed upon, but many people in Russia do not seem to respect that, or understand it. Nazi-crimes should be subject to law, and will not be solved by invasion. Btw. Nazis exist in Russia too, so that is no excuse for violating borders.

  1446. I once heard the complaints of an ukrainian woman who had to work beside her pension. She missed a lot about the past. Dealing with the present she talked about the oligarcs. They are thieves! That was her judgement. I thought western influence had something to do with it, but after hearing you here, it seems inherent. Good luck with beating corruption. Make it fair!

  1458. I think Brian was kind of tight shouldered when talking to the police. I keep wondering if the park ranger would have been more succesful, if she had focused on de-escalating, and the need for de-escalating, and the need for that, it may have been easier for Gabby to act more in her own best interest. The thought of splitting up may have been too drastic to consider.

  1459. Not to doubt you, but I just wonder how a prisoner like Medvedchuk, could air his own appeal on social media. How did that come about?

  1461. That is not the reason for the war. Russia has colonial ambitions and they look down upon ukrainians. This has been going on for there centuries.

  1462. I remember in 1995, hearing about the russian marine base remaining on Crimea for thirty years. It was a considerate solution, that would give Russia’s marine time to relocate and it was respectful of Russia’s need for security. I had an unsettling feeling, somehow. Even though I did not react strongly against the annexation of Crimea, despite people I know pointing out several violations of international agreements and the song 1944 in Eurovision. When I got impressions from the horrible seige of Mariupol, I knew that Russia has to give up on Crimea. Yes, it is scary. And people who understand Russian know that their messages are double..

  1463. I am not sure hatred is the answer. Awareness, though, is essential.

  1464.  @Unknown_Web_User  that was a joint effort. That is important to remember, so russians also will be realistic about themselves. Forced gratefulness can also be abusive. Just from the sidelines. I do have good memories and good experience with russians, so I hope this will be possible in the future too. Meanwhile, it would be wise to realize and take a look at to which extent russian actions contribute to the hatred they are facing.

  1465.  @Unknown_Web_User  I know.

    1
  1471.  @OtherBarak  quite common and normal reaction to the extreme experience. I have experienced that myself. People who have no first-hand experience cannot do much about. Someone with similar knowledge might be able to. Sometimes guilt is what helps you feel some connection. I am no therapist, though. Anyone may listen, though. Maybe respond that they are happy you survived.
    1
  1472.  @lAsteriosl  that is a quick understanding. All members had to vote a yes, and Sweden has had some problems being accepted by all NATO-members.
    1
  1473. Yes, and this was also visible before the invasion. President Zelensky wanted to talk to Putin, but Putin only wanted to talk to Biden. Showing the same attitude of superiority versus Ukraine. Ukrainians are sick and tired of that attitude, coming from more russians than their president.

  1474.  @SorbusAucubaria  Friendly assistance in the rescue operation of Kursk crew was not even wanted, for the sake of protecting military secrets. So much for openness.

  1477. Thanks for your analyses. Maybe, let's see. Changing your ways is not easy. I keep wondering about Ruby's childhood. My guess is that she was a pretty unruly adventurous kid, and that she was punished harshly, also mentally, for "ungodly" playfulness. Thus an extreme example of how not to shape å child. By twisting her nature, she was taught that heartless discipline would create a hoped for outcome. . Her siblings fit more easily into the ideal model child, and was not as severely punished, and did not react with such destructive behavior.

  1478.  @frankrenda2519  But Ruzzia attacked Ukraïne. Why don't Russia live up to its own standards?

  1480.  @simonphoenix3789  yes. Russia would live in peace when that fact is accepted.
    1
  1481.  @frankrenda2519  Russia is still responsible. If there were atrocities from the ukraïnian government going on, they could have been seeking international surveillance and human rights judgement. Although 14 000 dead in Donbas is tragic, it happened during 8 years. The russian army has made sure that number has been surpassed in less than two months. Should we think that Russia consists of lunatics, or should we expect them to be reasonable and law abiding according to international agreements?
    1
  1482.  @frankrenda2519  if our neighbor attacks someone in an atrocious manner, wouldn’t be right to help? How should we make our friendly neighbor stop mistreating another neighbor? Does our friendly neighbor have a conscience when it comes to their other neighbor? If someone shoots rockets at people’s homes, wouldn’t it be right to stop those rockets. Of course it is better those rockets were not Launched at all.
    1
  1483.  @frankrenda2519  but what would you do if your friendly neighbor, picked up his gun, tied up his wife and went to another neighbors house to burgle it, burn it down, and kill? You may know that there had been some trouble between the two, but would any law abiding normal citizen just watch it happening? Do you think that would right?
    1
  1484. Sorry about missed words. I hope you get my message anyway.
    1
  1485.  @frankrenda2519  oh yes, that happens. There are a lot of people who speak Russian in Ukraïne without being attacked.
    1
  1486.  @frankrenda2519  I do not know it all. I am sorry for brutality. I know there were bad things going on from both sides. Believe me, I don’t hate russians. I hope they leave Ukraïne in peace. A lot of people suffer now.
    1
  1487.  @frankrenda2519  no, that is not the case. We talk about the false rumors that caused the horrible war in Iraq. It has become clear that this war caused terrible damage. It is critiqued. So when we hear russian propaganda we have seen war propaganda before, and that is why we do not believe it.

  1488. Having been the recipient of narcissstic rage recently... I was a bit insistert on getting an agreed appointment done. Motlys because it would make my life easier to organize. I was called up and was given the rageful feedback that I was exoding an energy og suspicion. Well, I knew by myself that I was not suspecting anything wrong, I was just impatient. I guess I only need to assure myself .. I do think the rageful person was right about my stressing him, though. Keeping my own version of what happened , I guess is important. I found it all really unsettling. And actually, the job I was supposed to take over from him was not a good choice for me, so I got myself off the hook at that point. I am still a bit on alert about further development.

  1493. There were beryoskas were foreigners could leave their currency, there was the GULag system, there was a shelf with a ton of mintgreen cotton yarn in the middle of Moscow. (Not that useless luxury of white cotton yarn, who would need that ?😮) A young girl could stroll around alone late in the evening. So it was kind of safe. And if you started talking to locals about political systems, your new acquiantance would pull away. . I guess Ukraine, with a closer historical connection to Greece, has a better grasp on democracy. . As to unfairness in the economical system, there were thieves who got hold of the common goods and made it just for their own benefit. . Social democracy has the best of both, I guess.

  1495. I think, if you ask people who have been going off antidepressants and people who have become clean of heroine, you might get a similar answer. That is about withdrawal symptoms. The recovery process is often more difficult with heroine, so I guess that is what people notice. I think the guy in question knows something about withdrawal.

  1499. You are right: Pay attention to the warning signs, but that may not be enough alone. .. I noticed to his engagement photo he called this relationship "a dream". His behavior after coming home, going camping etc. seems to indicate that he has woken up and is back to normal family life. Then it dawns on him that something is wrong and he chooses to solve it in an introverted way by seeking solace in his favorite outdoor place.

While I realize that not all people are good, what I keep wondering is how do we sort out bad behavior from personal pathology that won’t change except for to a degree that will crave a life long maintenance program?

  1517. In Norway we are very much against harrassment, so people who live in our country are supposed to be safe, wherever they come from. Your reasoning gives me a possibility to explain and encourage bravery. I wonder if there are ways of being concerned about ukrainians that we need to avoid. Like drawing attention to people and places that are not already out there.

  1518. You definitely don't mess with ukrainians, let alone the SBU. Thanks for explaining the meaning and differencw between the army and rhe SBU.

  1521. I respect the UN. It worried me a lot that the Y-block, a norwegian government building, was demolished in 2020. Why? Because it was part of an architectural composition that reminded of the UN headquarters, for one. Does the norwegian government think that UN doesn't matter? AND I wonder why this is not front page news in my country. Only a lot about Donald Trump. I understand your points about inheritance. Russia is not the Soviet Union. Is this an agreement from the Budapest Memorandum?

  1534. I have been wondering about language politics. It can been very complex, and it can raise a lot of animosity if it is not dealt with well. Ukraïnian has not been considered a real language by many Russian speakers, as well as Ukraïne as a real country. Not just Little Russia, which was an old name. Then there was also the possibility of visiting family and friends who remain in other parts of the former Soviet Union. I know that these issues have been a source of discontent. Good solutions to these areas, if at all possible. Maybe not currently, though, as long as the existence of Ukraïne is disputed.

  1537. It does not worry me much. Peaceful disolution would be best. Of course there might be new wars about disputed territories, like in previous Yugoslavia. Still I think it is natures way that differentiation happens. So, no, I am not concerned about that, and I do not think the West really has any business deciding for these nations.

  1541. Sugar coating, like Disney does, is not appealing to me. Like in the «Little mermaid», in HC Andersen’s original, the mermaid has to cope with jealousy, and resign. Sometimes that is a necessary choice to make, in order to behave in an ethical way. So I never watched that movie. Winning or behaving ethically do not always go together, a harsh truth that prepares the reader for the contradictions of life. The sugar coated ending does not.

  1550. I do think, though, that it may come as a reaction to falling support by a group of western (?) customers? To a western eye, who wants to believe in peaceful solutions, the thought is not strange. A norwegian right wing politician suggested something similar. So the link between stock market loss may be direct, not just a diversion.

  1564. To your first question: I have fb-friends. They are caring people who also care about curds, afghans, refugees. I have blocked friends who use laughing emojis on description of human suffering. Sadly, I have blocked some pro-israelis based on heartless emojis. I cannot explain why this cause gains so much attention. But having followed the siege of Mariupol, the bombardement of Gaza seems worse. I also have more longstanding relations with jews. Some of them wholeheartedly support the palestinian case. "Not in our name". I have spoken to one yemenite, as far så I know. I do not know any pro-palestian, who does not care about other causes. Talking about peace and future for all those who live between the river to the sea, I get positive responses. Then there are these wild young men..

  1565. @mimo.1467 I know. But your point was?

  1566. I use the name Palestinians for practical reasons. I mean by that the dwellers between the river Jordan and the Mediterranean sea that are not israelis. . I guess it all has to do with palestinians being better educated as a whole, and perhaps having a more resourceful diaspora. I cannot answer for their animosity, I cannot explain it. I guess there are differences, but to me treating immigrants and refugees well, and to protect their rights is important. What is the difference between UN-refugees and israelis living on UN-designated land. I have no idea if this angle could lead to more peace and understanding, or if it is even useful. It is just a thought. Of course, immigrants and refugees need to adhere to local laws, and respect those who are indigenous to a normal reciprocated degree.
    1
  1567. Ukrainians are oriented towards Europe. That was evident, even in Odesa in 1995. Even people nostalgic of the past, could lean towards Europe. I was surprised when Zelenskyi spoke about Ukraine as "the heart of Europe". I understand it more now. The heart, like Ukraine on the map, is on the left side of the body, and important bloodstreams, as well as continental connections were passing through. I hope you keep your uniqueness, even when uniting with the EU. You seem very motivated.

  1568. Am I right? The extreme reaction to a "humiliating" bill happened in Jacksonhole. June Carter and Johnny Cash sung about passion going to Jackson. .. When he realized he was heading to Jacksonhole and not to Jackson he was reminded of that "humiliation of not being able to manage" and got off the car. .. With no correction of his thinking and upset feelings it may have risen to murderous rage. Walking to calm down did not work. You need really strong therapeutic help to get off that raging obsession, and he did not seek it out. .. Just a possible scenario if she was still alive until the 29th. ..

  1569. I am seeing a man near the end of a life in conflict. Of course he wants some sense of peace. The complaints of russian war-vloggers have obviously reached Putin. Trump does not like blood. I wonder if Zelensky is better off not trying to apeace him.

  1577. I have one objection. Finding things through Google, is not satisfying to me. I would rather go into some associated database or library deep dive. Eduroam is also a place to search.

  1581. Describe: I am in the process of letting an accomplished musician and producer create a video track for a song I have created. Also, this will cost money that I do not have at present. Others expect me to ask people to work for free, because this is about a cause. Express: I feel it in my body, and I get a headache when an additional musician is introduced to the production, although I know that musician will add to the production. I feel pain and no optimism, like this is going to crush me, even though I want it to be done, and I think that Assert my request: I really need to get into a more optimistic route. I want to preserve my health without going completely broke, so I need to find ways to get this project done with financial balance. Reinforce: Yes, I need to reinforce the need for getting this done without going broke or loosing my health.

  1582. Marinating until deadline is due.. I like that. Building for å peak performance. .. So, better, with less desirabel tasks that are put off, like sorting out everything I have piled on a round table. That is definitely lack of confidence: «What if I never get it done?»

  1583. I think acknowledging and seeing what others with similar experiences handle things, can be helpful. But it is important not to let it define you. Having been short of money, can be a life long shame for some, and for another one: We made it. We’re good now.

  1588. I have been wondering: "What do you think about Tsvi Misingai"?

  1589. I enjoy that you challenge our mindsets. Making us think is important. In Norway the worst terrorist we have ever had, claimed to be a Christian, protecting our country against "multiculturalism". An old jew I used to know, pointed out that connection to me. So any faith can turn fanatic. I want to live peacefully in a multicultural neighborhood. My focus is on that. If I share this video, it might fuel rightwing terrorism. On the other hand, the teachers at a nearby school handled a case when a young muslim talked about killing a girl because she "is a jew". It was an episode. Thanks to wise non-judgemental intervention nothing more happened. . We have prominent muslims who are very clear that anti-semittism is not the way. So I guess that living peacefully with each other is an ongoing process, also a very cultural thing. And the sense of having a right to fair treatment, no matter your background is one of its foundations.

    1
  1592. Wow, you did get dramatic responses. I did not completely agree with you, but there were three points where we seem to coincide. 1. The bombing of Gaza reminds me of the bombing of Mariupol. . Yes, good reason to wonder how and why. Judging from photos it seems that the demolition is even worse in Gaza. Or are ukrainian builders better craftsmen? Other explanations? . 2. Bombing children to death is horrendous. Especially when you know so well. ?? . 3. The similarity in explanations has puzzled me too. . I have been listening also to palestinians and israelis who are intent on sharing this land of theirs, as I did not want to add to the animosity. Despite the similarities I have come to the conclusion that the situation differs. One is the matter of size. The largest country on earth wanting to devour the largest country in Europe. Yes, Z-mindset reminds me of carnivore compared to one of the tiniest statehoods in the world harshly defending itself against an even smaller statehood. One wise person said that you cannot expect the opposing parties in a war to think humanly of the other, but we who are not directly threatened must keep a balance. I cannot deny that israelis feel they are fighting for life. There are mixed messages about palestinians, but there is no doubt that also are suffering enormously with a higher death toll.

  1603. They may have been speaking the truth in the past, when the Cold War was ending, but now, different forces are at play. I think the most countries in the world want Russia to live in peace. It serves everyone best, so their fear of extinction seems to me to be paranoid and phantastical. Russia, or Muscovy will exist in the future, unless it gets totally self destructive by provoking protective measures.

These signs may signal that they don’t like your approach at that moment.

  1610. I will remind you that the destruction of cultural memories also counts into genocide. And some israeli politicians have come up with genocidal talk, similar to that on russian television versus the ukrainians. Love your neighbor as yourself, and let that shine. There are also evaluations that this urban warfare is complicated, and it is difficult to avoid a high number of casualties. I wish Israel safety, and the palestinians/arabs their human rights and dignity.

  1611. I have known trustworthy russians, really of the best kind of humans. But watch out. There is definitely something fishy about the death of Dugina, and that quick solution to the reason for her death. . If they knew it so well, why wasn't it stopped?

  1620.  @Irin31  a landlord also has responsibility to be reasonable, in my opinion. Economical exchanges can be brutal and unfair. Going against widows is not seen as fair, as far as I have read scripture. But you put up a smile-icon, which demonstrates your lack of understanding.
    1
  1621.  @Irin31  I guess there is a lot more to it. On the other hand, I personally think it is a tragedy that so much income is based on tenants paying. A reasonable rent is OK, but I am fully aware that is not always the case. Many tenants enrich themselves and impoverish the area for the sake of making money.
    1
  1622.  @Irin31  Sometimes income can become too expensive in other respects. For instance I think Israel could do without bad reputation from evicting locals with a long history at a place.

  1624. Not everyone wants to pay for your opinions, no. I did not make money on Y-blokka featuring Flexi Aukan. It is a video protesting the demolition of a highly acknowledged government building. I was in debt for a year after it was made, but I don’t regret it. Sometimes your opinions cost you. As a joke I wrote to the government and asked about where to send my invoice. That was just democratic action, .. no one to pay for that.

  1631. A girl like Gabby could have some sense of control in the situation. That is part of it. It can be really intoxicating, and she enjoyed some intoxication. She did have a sense of guilt, though. Was she self destructive, even unconsciously? A small girl hitting a man does not seem such a big deal. Unless it is real self defense, it is at best, immature.

  1634. What is the reality of the Christians who live in Bethlehem, and the arabs who according to Tsvi Misingai have jewish customs, showing their shared origin in the region? Having said that, it seems to me that those who claim that there is apartheid live on the West Bank and Gaza. Some bad things are happening there. People who originally were very much in favor of Israel, say so. Some mention IDF taking over homes, and settlers taking over property, and preventing farmers from caring for their olive trees. That cannot have been reported out of nothing. .. It seems to me that the two state solution probably only aggravates this.

  1635. In Odesa in 1995 I was confronted with a view of the Budapest Memorandum. It was a shame, I was told. - We had top military technology, and now it is used for creating pots and pans! Since I came from a family with peace activist aunts, I had learned about this as a major step forward for peace. In Odesa, I did not say much about that. Now, I wonder what this person would say. The loss of their position in the Soviet Union was a reason for bitterness. Things may have changed concerning these viewpoints.

  1636. This shows the human tragedy of it all. So this is very important.
    1
  1637. Between normal people, compromize is a good skill. Also it can be beneficial in acute situations when negotiators know what they are doing. The Budapest memorandum gave us hope. In a true compromize, both parts need to be sincere. Even letting the russian navy remain on Crimea, with the understanding that it would need some time to move has proven disastrous to Mariupol.

  1647. The importance of clear borders in peace time. I agree that this russian base was a mistake, as it was not taken as friendliness, but rather as something Russia was entitled to. . To most europeans I guess Crimea was so far away. Few of us had any conscious understanding of the map that naturally connects Crimea to Ukraine. Ukraine was a very unclear concept. You are doing a lot to make us see Ukraine for what it is.

  1659. The bombardement of the Theater in Mariupol also was a strike against Russian culture. Shared memories were destroyed in addition to all those people, innocent children, all that happiness. Springtime in Mariupol is not like it was expected. . Norwegian poet Gunvor Hofmo lost her best friend, jewish Ruth Maier to the holocaust. Yes, norwegian police were collaborators. Hofmo's words were: "There is no daily life anymore.. only deaf screams hanging in dead trees.. Hear how quiet it is. .. The assault on Ukraine has definitely changed Russian culture.

  1668. I did not see that video. But now, I do not think his motives are that sick. He may be in denial, and that is a pretty normal reaction to shocking news. I think I have gotten that sense of denial when listening to some israelis, telling that IDF always behaves in humaine ways. Well, they are young, and they have power. They are humans. I think there is some hope in realizing that the world is not black and white. And that people can find a way to peace.

  1669. This is more truthful than the russian/armenian Semonyan on RT, who talks about suffering, but remains untouched by what she makes the russians expect. She is calm and collected, and looks good. Someone commented that she must be using anti-depressants. I think that is correct. Depressive words combined with calm expression. Here in this documentary, we can see real suffering, real grief. This is not words, in order to prepair the costs of aggressive attacks. The contrast is revealing.
