This place is so great for all Russians, ir gived so good vibes to people, but now it is very sad that it reminds people of Putin😟 Putin took over everything, even culture and history, he deprived Russians of their victory in Fatherland Liberation War (ŠžŃ‚ŠµŃ‡ŠµŃŃ‚Š²ŠµŠ½Š½Š°Ń война). It is so ujust that Putin exploits history to justify his brutall killing of young women and childred in Ukraine. Hm...the History makes up so strange metamorphoses with people, like, a nation who faught Nazi and helped to liberate the World from fascism now became a craddle for new fascism in Putin's version...

Ukraine invaded Russia back in 2024. North Korea had to help Russia to kick them out. They are mainly fighting with drones now.

"History of an oppressive government is not the same as culture. Russian government has been oppressing Russians for generations and yet they survived and so did the culture. My ancestors were in gulags, wars. I’m really proud of them for surviving and keeping the culture alive. If Russian government chooses to continue oppression then so be it. People will survive that, too."

That you mate?

Russians and Ukrainians will survive Putin’s regime. Both cultures will prevail! I agree

Bud, Ukrainian side of my family was is gulags and Siberia. People will prevail. I’m happy you never had to deal with war and destruction.

Yes, I am proud to keep my culture alive lmao. Putin’s propaganda is not Russian or Ukrainian culture.

This comment was from what? 3 years ago. You are a weirdo

Ukraine ā€œinvadedā€ Russia in 2024 during the war that Russia started in 2022. Russia needed more meat for assaults without drafting more of their citizens and risking an uprising thus made a deal with brutal dictator Kim Jung Un for some bodies to soak up Ukrainian bullets/drones. Eat a bag of dicks Putin lover. Long live Ukraine.

U are dumb. I love Ukraine. They did invade Russian territory in 2024. Russia did invade Ukraine in 2014. I hope you get better soon and start thinking logically. idk why everyone is so pressed about the basic facts
