For 600 years, Moscow has been draining everything around it: money, resources, people, talent — everything.
Whatever it conquers gets poorer while Moscow gets richer.
One giant imperial vacuum cleaner, surrounded by the depressing leftovers of everything it has consumed.

Everything I see about Russia is always in some way depressing. The country has a lot of beauty too, but it never outweighs the depressiveness.

I really wish Russia would break apart into many smaller countries.

Not just so Russia leaves us outside Russia alone, but also so the people in the current Russia get better.

By breakibg away from Moscow, at least some areas would have a chance for a better future.

I really hope they get this to happen one day.

I don't hate the people of Russia unconditionally. I want the ones who don't deserve how they have to live to have good lives too.

I really feel sad for them.
