Give me a gun and put Putin in front of me—I'll think for 2–3 seconds max. Then—bang. Dead body. Oh no, wait, I lied: of course, I'll first make sure that I won't get in trouble for this kill (at least not in a bad way). Why did I even start this? Do you think I'm Russophobic? That's not the case: I admire Russia as a country, but I despise Putler, the government, and all Russian propagandists. And, to be honest, many people from "Rashka" too — those who have chosen the easy path of "I'm not interested in politics." They sit in their mortgaged apartments and enjoy caviar on New Year's Eve. They enjoy it until one of them is drafted and sent to die in meat grinders for the glory of Putler and his oligarchs.
