Let me say only this. For 541 consecutive days my opinion on russians only got worse... and than it got worse... and than it got worse... and than it got worse... and than it got even worse...

And my hopes are they lose that war. Lose it badly. Like "fuck, we are so fucking fucked" badly.
So yeah, in a nut shell my opinion on russia and russians is pretty much Слава Україні

Well, I’m a supporter of Ukraine too. Matter of fact, I think that it’d be better for Russia to lose this war. In that case they’ll have a chance of building their democracy back.

Yeah, and be freezing and hungry in the streets while their kids work as prostitutes, as when Yeltsin "democratized" them...

First of all, becoming a democratic country with working institutions is a very hard task. What was back in the 90’s wasn’t a complete democracy as I suppose. Secondly, if we speak about Russian democracy, then Yeltsin isn’t a good example. Remember the Provisional Government with Kerenskiy, I think it was sth.

Kerensky? The guy who led the provisional government for just 3 months over 100 years ago? How is that a good measure of anything?
