Good morning Nachum. Thank you for posting this article. I received an email from a Russian friend in Saint Petersburg yesterday. It gives the other side of how the invasion is viewed by liberty loving Russians. She wrote, complete with grammatical errors:
“Please, Don,t worry about me. This is a troubled times really. People is Russia are separated as well about Putin,s plan.. Here are protests against and for his decision.. Interesting that the motto is the same - for Free Ukraine and for friendship !
. “If he wants only to sober up the wild nationalists and Russophobians in Ukraine and to let them know that Russians are under protection.. This is ok. If he wants using this excuse to start a war between Russians and Ukrainians for Crimea and the East part.. This is insane and extremely dangerous. It was fatal Khrushchev,s mistake for both countries when he gifted traditional Russian territory - Crimea - to Ukranian Soviet republic.. It was a bomb, that is ready to blow up..
“We are still free here to talk openly the point of view.. I don,t know how long .. I am afraid another iron curtain from both sides.. From inside and from the West as a punishment for Russia. I read yesterday The Us State secretary Kerry said about possible limitations or stopping receiving visa for Russians..well. Anything can happen in such crazy world.
“I have to go to work . The day will be long and busy.”
This is from a female doctor. We have exchanged several emails leading up to this exchange.

Good Morning to you as well gwjack.
Thanks for that update. I am sure that the Russians who have suffered greatly in war and are learning to love their new freedoms are not to happy about invading the Ukraine. If you have more updates, I would enjoy knowing them in the future.
