The roads we choose
Many Russians know and understand well what is being done in Ukraine. But there is also a certain group among the inhabitants of Russia, which incorrectly, inadequately and biasedly judges what is happening there.
This is not about the opponents and enemies of both parts of one now divided people - they, together with the West and the Americans, are making (and will always do) all efforts to embroil us, discredit and prevent the revival of the torn unified state, the reunification and strengthening of the Russians.
No, we are talking about those who sincerely do not understand and are mistaken about Ukraine and the people inhabiting it.
It seems like a lot is being told and reported about Ukraine now. But someone because of their busyness or because of a lack of free time, sometimes because of laziness, and some out of stubborn unwillingness to know anything about what they supposedly know so well, often miss useful information.
Although, it must be admitted, there are also many incorrect and untrue things that are written and said in Russia today about Russian-Ukrainian relations and about Ukraine.
The main question that many Russians do not understand: as a fraternal republic, the descendants of Ukrainian brothers who fought side by side, elbow to elbow during the war against fascism and died next to the Russians, jointly restoring the USSR after the war and building developed socialism together, suddenly became hostile turning into Bandera?
I suggest to benevolent people who sincerely want to understand what is happening in Ukraine, the reflections of a person who has lived for many years (over 60) in the Russian city of Novorossiya, which is still part of Ukraine today.
Land with Russian trees
During the years of my life, I got to know my current fellow countrymen well, I understand quite well many in the district, microdistrict, thoroughly living nearby. I am well aware of their advantages and disadvantages, negative and positive qualities, character traits of my neighbors.
What?
Roughly those that Bulgakov's Woland spoke about. If we exclude some local flavor, then my fellow countrymen are not much different from the inhabitants of Taganrog, Rostov, Krasnodar and Kerch - from the inhabitants of southern Russia.
If, for example, you communicate with my fellow countryman and a citizen of Rostov or Krasnodar on general topics, you will probably not find any differences, that is, you will not even distinguish one from the other.
And if you walk around the city, talk to the townspeople on Russian language, you will also see little difference.
And how many “Russian trees” there are in our city - birches! But in our hot climate it is not easy to grow them, they require careful nursing and care ...
But there are two features that are not present in today's cities of Russia: the presence of a pro-Western-pro-American Russophobic Ukrainian government and Bandera.
I must say right away that we have few Bandera supporters. And the people, contrary to the statements of Bandera and their supporters, did not "United" against Russia and Russians, Russians. Despite all the Bandera lies.
As one of them told me:
“We know that you are 80% here, and we are only 20. But we will make you”!
They keep aloof in our country, wary, restrained and do not particularly “speak out” to their neighbors. Feel the detachment and responsive alertness of others.
Some disappear for a while (it is clear where), then reappear.
Some "wiped" drink themselves (a couple of them have already gone to the next world).
Bandera are divided into two categories. Alien (judging by the conversation - from the western regions) who rent or bought apartments, and local... Almost nothing is known about the newcomers. About the locals (of whom there are very few) - we know almost everything.
How did they all become and are becoming Bandera?
Who are they?
Three generations have to be considered here.
first (senior) - they were ordinary Soviet citizens, like all Soviet people. Exactly the same as most Russians. The processes of their degeneration began after the collapse of the USSR.
Second (the average) - those who were born shortly before 1991 and after. They do not remember anything or know little about the USSR, the Soviet period, they have an idea of this only according to the words of others, often distorted.
The third (young, who is just entering life) - those who were born shortly after 2014. These people do not know anything at all and (unless fundamental changes take place in Ukraine) it is unlikely that they will know anything truthful, both about the USSR and about Russia.
It should be emphasized here that the formation of personality in Ukraine after 1991 is taking place under the powerful pro-American, pro-Western, anti-Russian, Russophobic pressure of the comprador authorities.
It is good if the parents speak Russian and the normal "coloradas", "scoops", "rashists" and "vata": they, of course, will explain everything correctly to the children.
And what if they are pro-Westerners / Probanderists and in a newfangled way they are “pushing in Ukrainian style”? Poor, unhappy children - with crippled brains and a future ...
It is also fortunate that, despite all the Russophobic attempts of the ukrovlast, so far normal parents in Ukraine are the majority.
And what will happen tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, in 10 years (if Ukraine lasts so long in its current state)?
What unites all Bandera supporters?
What is the root cause of people becoming Banderites?
These are unrealized dreams, resentment against the Soviet regime, the USSR and their successor Russia, and its inhabitants, the Russians. Personal or for ancestors (parents, grandfathers).
The specific reason, which is rarely given out, is known only to the Bandera people themselves. Each has its own wormhole. But it is so.
And also - a lackey, groveling desire to bend over, to curry favor with today's actual masters of Ukraine - the Americans, the West, the comprador authorities. That the West encourages in every possible way, promoting its minions.
I am not talking about the genetic Russophobia of others: this is a special, clinical case.
And what is interesting: many Russians also have victims of the unjust and excessively harsh actions of the Soviet regime in their family. What did not prevent the generation of winners from defending the Soviet power and the USSR in the Great Patriotic War, rebuilding the country after the war, building developed socialism - this does not prevent the current generation of Russian patriots from loving their homeland - Russia.
I emphasize: to love not the current rulers and power, but your own Country... Authorities change, rulers come and go, and Russia is eternal.
The sub-American comprador government of Ukraine is strenuously inviting Ukrainians (residents of the country of Ukraine, not Ukrainians by nationality) into its ranks of Bandera, promising them all sorts of benefits and trying to bribe them with considerable benefits. But the majority of Ukrainians (for some reason) do not want to receive them.
Why?
Because most Ukrainians are not behind Western and Bandera "values", but loyal to Russia and the majority of Russians. Bye. But time is working against Russia in this matter.
