Thanks to everyone who replied. I have looked at the last few pages. I don't even know what to say in essence.
Probably, I can make only one remark... As an ordinary resident of Russia. Still, many abroad do not understand what this war is for the inhabitants of both countries. On both sides, there are people who wish death on thousands of other people, entire nations because of a national trait (like one mustachioed Austrian artist, huh?). But it's sea foam, it's in plain sight. And for many ordinary people, this is precisely the civil war. A terrible echo of the terrible 1990s.
For many people, each side is not an amorphous mass, painted in the colors of the national flag. Like looking from across the ocean. On the one hand - a childhood friend Seryoga, your cousin Zhenya, your garage neighbor Vasya. On the other hand, your other friend, your other brother, and your other neighbor, with whom you fried meat and drank beer a week ago, and now he put on his old military uniform and took a machine gun. Everywhere your acquaintances, friends, relatives, even their names are the same.
I myself am half Russian, half Ukrainian. My relatives live in Ukraine - grandfathers, aunts, cousins. My relatives live in Russia - grandmothers, uncles, my sisters. There are many relatives everywhere. And now they are separated. Someone was blown away in the first months, someone cursed their own brothers. But who is to blame for this, and when did it start? Not on February 24, not in 2014... This started thirty years ago, and now we are just reaping the fruits of it.
I do not condemn anyone and do not call for anything. I'm not going to agitate you, one dick you are all adults (and, I hope, for the most part - adequate) people. Some are as old as my father. I just want to say that it is always important to look at yourself from the outside, I will write in caps - STAY HUMAN. If you look into the abyss for a very long time, the abyss will start looking into you. You have to be able not to become the one you fight against. This applies to everyone. And that includes you, my dear foreign friends.
