Thank you, there's a lot to chew on here. But it sums up one of the many tragedies of today, which is seeing how Russia could have been a prosperous place had its current leader not taken it down this destructive, reckless path. And the contrast between the youth who rightfully want a future versus the others who consider their country a "state-civilization" speaks volumes.
Oy, so much to think about. And it resonates with what I've been thinking, that Putin's relationship with most ordinary Russians is like a stepfather abusing both Mother Russia and her young adult children who are setting up independent households. Who can change that? Maybe Baba Yaga.
