Russia’s best and smartest (1.5 million) fled Russia’s lust for warmongering and war. Russia lost a whole generation of promessing hard-working citizens. They are now helping other nations economies. All good !
As long as the warmongers will run the Kremlin mad-house, there is no hope for Russia’s future.
Unlike American liberals who promise to leave, but never do, Russian liberals actually leave the country.
In our neighborhood, well-dressed young Russians go up and down the street at 5:30 in the morning with flashlights peering into cars to see if there’s anything they can steal. I’ve seen them, several neighbors have seen them.
Nearby supermarket has to put a metal fence between one entrance and the expensive merchandise behind it after 5 p.m. I spoke with an employee who told me they were not allowed to stop thieves but didn’t want to lose too much money. Thieves are all Russian.
