An American tourist in Russia
It’s been a while since I have posted here. I feel that blogging is futile for me. No one cares, no one will listen. It’s discouraging. The [western] world is ready for another Bucha because this world needs to see Russians as cruel creatures who only “look like Europeans, but are not” ©. Another tiny step further, and they will gladly state that Russians are not humans.
Today I was browsing CNN, and it occurred to me that western news, aside from regurgitating literal Nazi war propaganda, just does not have much to say about Russia. Furthermore, Americans are exposed to very few pictures from Russia. So, I decided to share some snaps from my daily commute to school in Moscow.
The military conflict in Ukraine has become the biggest “hot” story of the week and sparked a wave of hysteria across the internet. These developments are significant, but everyone is losing their heads for basically no reason. In this post I’ll provide some answers, based on my own personal knowledge and experience (and trying not to stray outside topics I’m qualified to opine on). I will also address some questions fielded by my readers in the comment threads of my previous posts. I will also, finally, get around to properly filling out a brief autobiography of myself, my relationship with Russia, and why any of you should care.
