@JesseQuinn, thanks for your kind comment.
I'm a Russian with a bit of Jewish blood and I never tried to hide it. I love my country, but I hate the bunch of criminals that absolutely illegal took the power there and do all their best to ruin my Homeland.
So I've left Russia months ago and I miss my little 3-pawn cat, because I can't take her with me yet.
I still haven't found a place where I'd wanted to stay to face old age. The overburocratic EU is not a place of my dream, as well as the United States. I have nothing about those places. They are good ones... for tourists, but not as places to live.
Perhaps it will be Latin America or far Asia like Bali or Shirylanka, Caribbeans or New Zealand. I haven't made a decision yet, so I'm moving.
I have never had a local place of work with an office and boss in Russia. The only boss I was working for was an American man who lived in NYC. I worked for his company as a software developer since 1995 till 2001. I was a student and and it was something to start with. But in 2001, I've decided that I will never work for any bosses and became a freelancer.
So I'm not tied to any particular country and can live just anywhere I want. Perhaps someday I will return to Russia, but only when the current regime will fall and when my Homeland will turn to liberal and democratic way. To be honest, I don't believe it will happen soon, though.
You know, Putin has a 300 thousand army to fight against the Ukrainian army of one million soldiers. At the same time, he has a professional and well-armed army of a million and a half thugs to fight his internal enemies inside Russia. An huge army to fight those who do not support him. Just compare - a 300,000-men army against external enemies and a million and a half against his own population. What enemy is he more afraid of?
His media says that Russians support him. The stupid Western media just copies it and turns it like every Russian is for Putin and every Russian is for war. That's not true. The people here don't support that war. They are simply intimidated. If someone says openly that he is against the war or against Putin, he will go to prison for more time than he could get for a murder.
This is the most viral interview in Russia and Ukraine now:
A war supporter (some not very famous actor) tries to justice it during a 3-hour interview and shows how stupid, cowardly and two-faced he is. Look at the comments there. This guy became the most hated meme in Russia today. How come that a war supporter became an outcast and a laughingstock for most of Russians that (according to Putin's and Western media) support Putin and the war?
