Why am I more worried about Russia than Ukraine

Tatyana Shcherbina, poet, journalist

It is clear that Ukraine will be attacked from ORDLO (Separate districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions), biting off a piece. In the Russian regions, including the Moscow region, emergency situations, state of emergency and something else were declared due to the delivery of temporary migrants (it seems that they were going to return them back).

I am less worried about Ukraine, because it is supported by the whole world. But I am very worried about Russia, it repeats the worst episodes of history, but this has already been written about a hundred times.

And I imagined what heartfelt speeches could be made in the not too distant future. For example, the head of the EU would say that after the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation never became a full-fledged state, but only a territory seized and controlled by the KGB, who committed... (the list of crimes follows). Well, such an education threatens Europe, because... And the British head, straightening his tuft, with the same. And Chinese - with numbers, 1.5 billion Chinese, they say, and our historical lands, unfairly located on the territory of a friendly state, but... And Japan and the Kuriles. And separately a Finn about Vyborg and Karelia, and even a German about Koenigsberg...

Oh, in general, I don’t want to not only talk, but even think about what we have lived to.
