There is never a good time to be Russian, it seems. With that in mind, I signed up for Diversity festival in my son’s elementary school to represent Russia and create the display about Russian Federation. Not today, but I keep thinking about that my decision today, as always. And you know what? F* it. It is the country where I was born and grew up. It is the culture that is mine. It is the history I am a part of. Why should I give it up? Why should I yield it to people I hate?

The theme of presentation btw: "Russia is the prison of the peoples"// V.Lenin Many cultures in Russia you probably don't know about.

current politics is just so weird to witness. It took me several years to pick myself back together, and this seemingly pro-Russian turn of US politics is not helping at all.

It's because it's not Pro-Russian, it's pro-Putin, which is not the same thing. Be like being Pro-Stalin, that's not Pro-Russian either. Just as Pro-Trump isn't Pro-American. MAGNA has zip to do with American Patriotism, it's a Trump cult.

American politics always felt a little like a TV show? Except now they jumped the shark.

Or rather, The Boys feels far too on the nose...
