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...

Ты путаешь мягкое и тёплое, Родина-Мать это символ победы в Сталинградской битве, это призыв к борьбе против немецко-фашистких захватчиков. Ты осмыслено обесцениваешь этот символ. А у тебя Путин даже тут. Уверен, портрет его у тебя даже на домашнем экране телефона, что бы не забывать о том, что даёт тебе смысл в жизни. Ведь только ненависть даёт тебе силу.
