These are the Russians who believed that they were being sent to the Ukraine to kill Nazis who were in dictatorial control of the country. There are parallels to the US MAGAt movement.
The 1/6 attempt to overthrow my democracy proved that defective and deranged thinking is not limited by culture and language.
The world needs to give Ukraine the weapons to win, not just delay, the war. Russia must be defeated and pushed back to their borders with not a single Russian military outpost in eastern Ukraine, including Savestopol in Crimea.
Putin and his minions seem to be trying to compete with trump and his in the ‘how-low-can-you-go’ game. Different playing fields, but similar lack of anything remotely resembling ethics.
Perhaps Valery Gergiev will meet a similar fate should he ever again conduct a concert outside Russia. A pity; fine music and its performers should not be politicized.
“Russian Culture” in recent times, truly defines the term “Oxymoron” and yes, I’ve read all the works of Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Tolstoy and suffered through the compositions of Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin and Mussorgsky – all just proving that the ENTIRE Russian population should be immediately be placed on a strict regime of “Zoloft” and “Prozac” and some form of “Lithium” There is NO WAY that such massive downers could be deemed “culture” in any way shape or form – though Disney DID DO a creditable job when using Mussorgsky’s “Night on Bald Mountain” in his feature film of “Fantasia”.

Why in God’s earth has Putin escaped death? Is it because the devil wants to leave him alive as long as possible?
Where is our civilization going?
