I can understand. Putin revitalized the Soviet propaganda, presenting the West as the Russian enemy. Alexei has a different point of view because he spent enough time in the West. There are no angels in the U.S., where I live, but, for the god sake, no one wants to conquer Russia. Everybody is chasing a dollar, and the vastness of Russia means endless opportunities to make a few dollars more. By everyone, Russians and Westerners.

Alexei understands that. Russians who visit Western countries just for a week’s vacation do not. They fall for the concept of Russia deeply rooted in the Tatar Yoke tradition. As you might guess, I wrote about it.
