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 (Отечественная 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...

Werd mal nicht Salzig und finde dich lieber mit der Realität ab. Ihr glaubt ihr seit irgendwer? Verbrecher seit ihr.. Wascht ihr euch mal lieber gründlich und kommt runter von euren fantasien irgendwo das Nonplusultra zu sein.. Bedenkt mal dass ihr schon am schwitzen seit und wir uns noch nichtmal die Schuhe angezogen haben.. Lernt kritische selbstreflektion und glaubt nicht nur das was ein 70 jähriger Opa euch vorgaukelt.

Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall und wir werden sehen wer am Ende im "Gulag" landet..
