I grew up in Russia. I’m all for “Slavic brotherhood”. I think that we should all help each other and celebrate our shared cultures!
But unfortunately too many people think that to support their “people” they need to support their government. I live in the US and same thing happens here. People think that to be a patriot you need to be obedient.
I wish we could decouple those concepts. You can love a country for what it represents to you, but hate what it’s been turned into.
