Coucou

Hey y'all!
I knoooooow I promised myself to write new messages more often but I really could not. I was busy at work, at university and in life. That's why I was thinking that posting new stupid photos and writing here usual bullshit was a waste of time. But now that I'm writing this new message I don't think I'm wasting my time because ...see what's gonna be next.
First a few words about what's goin on in my life. I ain't gonna work as volunteer at the airport anymore, though the games are still continuing (didn't u forget about the Paralympic Games?) and the volunteers started working in January and will finish a week later the games because no one leaves in one day and moreover there are always different representatives of different committees and delegation and journalists who are arriving and leaving constantly . 
I better earn smth, that's why I got one more pupil now. I'm so a teacher haha . But I really feel this responsibility and try to do my best when teaching. Only Gid sees whether I do it properly. 
Well, let's pass to the main topic. I don't consider myself a good economist/politician or just a very clever and educated one, but it seems to me I should share with you my opinion about the Russian-Ukrainian relations.  
But let's start by breaking your stereotypes about this country. 
1.NO. We don't have snow all round the year. It's just impossible! Have you ever had a look at this country in a map? If not, you better do so, because it's fucking ridiculous to hear foreigners speaking of horrible cold weather in Russia. We got 4 seasons a year. FOUR fucking  seasons. A really hot summer when everybody's dying of summer heat is followed by warm and rainy autumn that colours trees and grass in yellow. Then comes winter and covers everything with fluffy and glittering snow that is then melts  due to the bright sun in the spring. And no, we don't drink vodka to warm ourselves up! People wear sweaters and coats like everyone on earth. 
2. Well, you are probably being told the false history. The truth is that Russia won the WW2
3. Russians are not rude or asocial or whatever they are called. On the contrary,  they are one of the most responsive. I remember when I was in Paris carrying my heavy bags full of awesome french wine and french cheese going upstairs and downstairs, none of the French, who are known as romantics, helped me. None of them even paid any attention at me whuffing and clucking when carrying the bags of 25 kg. but guess who helped me? A russian guy)  I don't want to say the French are bad and this guy's hero. This situation just illustrates the upbringing and well manners. 
4. It's not prohibited to be gay, lesbian or bi. But there's no outreach of being that different. The whole world is just crazy when speaking of the gay parade in Moscow. Why the fuck heterosexuals don't organize the parade then ? These people are not treated as they are breaking the law or whatever. Why the opponents of LGBT care of Russian gays but others don't care about orphan kids for example. They are much poorer
I better stop here, and I should say that the rest you are being told of Russia is really sometimes true. The level of crime is rather high, the salaries are low or extremely big, there is a huge gap in people's incomes . As for the corruption....I heard of it but I never was faced it. Maybe
Let's turn to the history and get closer to what I planed to express my point of view on.
Since many many years ago there wasn't a simple Russia , union and Ukraine. There was Kyivska Rus. A single country, a single government , a single population. Then in the times of the union all the members of it lived in peace and Ukraine and Russia have always been big brothers. Homies. Nobody could even thought of quarreling with Ukraine because Russia has always regarded Ukraine as her nearest and closest (morally) friend! ALWAYS! It's so typical to see families in Russia where the father is Ukrainian and mother is Russians. More often they live in Russia while their relatives,who are in Ukraine, invite them every summer to spend holidays together. 
But in last decades Ukraine has changed a lot. They don't want to be dependent on Russia anymore, but actually what they call "to be dependent" is rather "to be supported" by the RF whether financially or by having more points at Eurovision song contest. 
And ...they started calling for a helping hand from the rest of the world demonstrating how poor they are of the dominance of Russia . But that's not true. Because they started practically what we call genocide of the Russians . Those who are against Russia were treating its people reeeeeally bad. Take for example Crimea. This Russian peninsula was rented to Ukraine by Khrushchev for 49 years . (That's why all the population of it are Russians) The term of lease has ended but it was prolonged because of humanity. And why were these people obliged to speak only Ukrainian while their mother tongue was Russian ? Why were their claims and demands ignored? And now then Russians all over Ukraine are asking their Russian president to help them , why the fuck you, foreigners, think Putin is invading this country ? He didn't do anything yet. He just supported this peopled and promised to help. He didn't declare a war while Timoshenko is announcing partisan warfare if Crimea joins Russia. 
As for the USA .... No, I don't want to go that further, but Obama. For those who do I offer to remember the situation in Syria. 
So, all I want to say is that you shouldn't believe what they are showing you. I'm sure that not the presidents are controlling their countries and the whole world. There exist some ruling families and smth like that. And the fact that all these almost wars are the question of geopolitical interests makes a difference.
