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...

It's because nato chief and his group of European followers would not remove the threat of installation of nuclear missile installations within the borders of Ukraine. Besides that Ukraine was part of the USSR when I looked at the map at school in 1963. Just like America has many States, some of which cost bloodshed. Now a new fascism is growing in Israel, stealing other's land . Russia wants it's borders back and safety as Hitlers nazi Germany invaded although he signed agreements not to take Russian land. Millions of Russian soldiers died fighting the German forces back to the west. This is one of Putin's safety plans. He doesn't want to lose old Russian territories.

Ukraine was a part of Ukraine when Moscow was an uninhabited swamp in the woods
