Yes, I do not consider myself Russian. Yes, I am a Siberian. But I consider myself a member of a Eurasian super-ethnos, which includes Russians, Tatars, Yakuts, Buryats, Ukrainians, Mongols, Siberians, and many others. I am not acting against Russians as an ethnos. I am against a government that considers itself the expression of the interests of the Russian people (while expressing only its own and those of the USA). I am against the fact that people like me are called separatists and slandered as enemies of the country. I want it so that no one tells me how to breathe or what to believe in. I want Eurasia to continue living, rather than rotting away along with Russia. If for this reason I have to stand against Russia—I am ready. It is better to cut off a diseased leg than to wait until gangrene affects the entire body. Although, it would be better to cure that leg (it's a pity that it doesn't realize it is sick).

what is there to explain? I have never seen a more stupid, senseless, evil, wrong, and pretentious country.

I 100% agree with two phrases:

1. "Curse the devil who made me be born in Russia with such mind and talent"

A.S. Pushkin

2. Russia was created to show the whole world how NOT to live.

The second phrase is my favorite. And I don't want to argue about this topic. I am extremely unpatriotic. And I simply cannot stand patriots. Only a narrow-minded or unscrupulous person can love this country.

You still haven't answered Ink's question: why do you consider Russia such-and-such, a hole, a cesspool, etc.?

You still haven't answered Inka's question: why do you consider Russia to be such a terrible place, a hole, a cesspool, etc.?

I don't think this question needs to be answered at all. You just need to open your eyes, and everything will become clear. It's very long, and I'm too lazy.
Very briefly:

1. It doesn't represent anything, but it pretends to be great. They'll make some mediocre film and run around shouting, "We made a masterpiece! We have special effects!" They are incapable of anything themselves. And they also say things like, "Americans are fools." I no longer communicate with a person who says such a thing.
2. The people who live here are stupid and RUDE. Not all of them, of course, but many.
3. In terms of development, it still has a long way to go to reach the level of European countries and America.
4. The attitude towards children, the disabled, and the elderly. Compared to America...
5. Lack of respect. For each other and for everyone.

Should I continue? I'm too lazy.

There is no country more senseless than this one.
I won't even talk about the government. It's not worth mentioning.

6. In Saudi Arabia, EVERY student who studies well has the right to FREE education at ANY university in the country. And here, free chemotherapy for cancer patients was canceled on November 1.
7. No normal country in the world would tolerate such a government. But here, they trample on people, and they remain silent.
8. I have a special dislike for the president.

And these are just one hundredth of the reasons why smart people simply cannot live here.

I believe that Russia has already had its time. It had its youth, its restless energy (13th-16th centuries), and its period of maturity (16th-19th centuries). And during this time, a great deal was created. But at the same time, Peter the Great laid the groundwork for the revolution. And then, the 20th century, the century when, in theory, we should have entered a period similar to a person's middle age. But a great upheaval occurred (World War I, the Civil War, repressions, World War II), followed by a period when consumers were born (under Brezhnev, the country's population grew by 80 million). These were people born from the weakest (in terms of energy), because the strong had died by that time. These people destroyed the USSR because they could only destroy. These people now make up the majority in Russia and are leading it to its death. I am as proud of Russia's past as I am of the past of the Turks, Huns, and Mongols. But I do not see a future for Russia itself. Eurasia must endure; we must save it. And Russia's time has come to die of old age. And it must do so with dignity, passing everything on to its daughter – Siberia, which must ensure that the memory of its mother does not die. And Siberia, together with Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, must become the core of a new Eurasian state.

I disagree. What kind of future could Siberia have? As a separate state? The natural conditions there are very unappealing. Uzbekistan...
It's all just another myth. In my opinion, it's absurd. You know what it reminds me of?

- If you buy a batch of Chinese watches and go back 20 years,
sell them, then use that money to buy dollars at 60 kopecks each, and go
back to the present... Or create a Xerox machine that would copy
matter and churn out gold...
- Okay... I understand... Esteemed ministers... What other proposals do you have for
improving the Russian economy?

Did you know that only two countries from the former USSR have reached the pre-Perestroika level? And those countries are Belarus and Uzbekistan. So, there's no need to offend the Uzbeks. Siberia has perfectly normal natural conditions; I live here. :) And I'm not the only one. :)
Currently, Siberia cannot survive on its own – it lacks the necessary industrial base. So, we need to create it, not just extract resources! Otherwise, we'll all go down together.
A Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan-Siberia axis would be quite viable. It's better to have relatives from Eurasia than the Chinese. At least the Uzbeks and Kazakhs won't try to remake us or treat us as second-class citizens.

I already posted a joke on the topic. The fact that you are from Siberia explains a lot. Those who have no choice live there. But I would never live there. The climate is harsh, and there are not many opportunities for industrial development, etc. Moreover, thank God, no one is planning to develop Siberia significantly right now. Belarus – yes, it might be a good place to live there. But for whom? For pensioners. But not for young people. Russia will exist for a very, very long time. Life here will not improve.

On the contrary, only those who consciously chose to live there reside in Siberia. Precisely because it is more challenging than in Russia. Only true patriots (in the good sense of the word) remained here. And there is no need to console oneself with phrases like "Russia is eternal, we will live for a long time." We won't. No medicine can restore youth to an old man or cure a fatal illness. We will decline, just like Kievan Rus'. True, back then there were the Mongols, who preserved Eurasia. But that is not the case now. Now is a period of fragmentation of Eurasia (as it was approximately from the 7th to the 12th centuries after the Turkic Eternal El until the Mongol Empire). Kievan Rus' is the most striking manifestation of the period of disunity in Eurasia – a small, unviable state. As is Russia now.

I'm not trying to reassure myself. First of all, I don't care. I stated that as a fact. This country will continue to exist for a long time, rotting from the inside while appearing strong on the outside (just like it was during the Soviet era). On the surface, everything will seem great, with economic growth and so on. But inside, people will suffer and die. But, of course, I won't be there. My foot won't be here.
And don't talk about "true patriots." It's laughable to me.

True patriots are those who stay with their country and try to save it. Yes, they may not like everything that is happening in it, but it is only thanks to true patriots that the country has not completely fallen apart. It's a pity that there are so few of us. And it would be more correct to call us nationalists (again, true ones, unlike false ones - chauvinists). We love our country, we are ready to fight for it. Even if it seems funny.

I remember when I was a kid (it sounds funny now), I wanted to become president. And honestly, it wasn't for the money or the houses on Rublyovka, but because I wanted things to be good for everyone. Almost all people are kind when they're children. So why do people only get dumber when they grow up (not all of them, of course)?

They don't become stupid. People are simply divided into three categories (based on the level of absorption of biogeochemical energy from living matter in the biosphere): passionaries (those who absorb more energy than needed for normal life, and it overflows from them) - they usually make up 5-10%; harmonious people (consume exactly as much energy as needed for normal life) - they make up 80-90%; subpassionaries (consume less energy and try to compensate for its deficiency at the expense of others) - they also make up 5-10%. And a person cannot act in a way that is not consistent with their energy level.

I understand it this way: what does a child need in early childhood? Almost nothing! A mother's love, and they are happy! I witnessed two little boys running around a tree with a toy truck on a string, and they were literally glowing with delight! As time goes on, the child grows up, learns a lot of new things, and, as a result of this knowledge, the toy truck on a string is no longer enough. They ask their mother for money for new toys, computer games. Then they grow up, and even that is not enough. They get a job to earn more money for the things they need. Often, a person turns into an official, or even [God forbid] into a comrade, who, even though they have everything they need, continues to earn money in one way or another because they still don't have enough. What exactly? Money! It is not for nothing that they say: "happiness is in ignorance." But in our time, it is impossible without it. Sooner or later, a person will still realize what money is and its power over the modern world. All that remains is to hope that a person will not go too far. At the same time, there are people who have long since grown up but still live like children. No, of course, they don't run toy trucks around a tree:), but they don't chase money or fleeting pleasures. Just like children, they need very little. I am talking about monks. And not just Christian ones, but any monks. There are also hermits and recluses. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating for a hood and robe; I'm just expressing my opinion. Perhaps there are also people among ordinary people who are similar to monks, but there are too few of them.

In my opinion, the best service is service through actions. Not just renouncing wealth, power, or everything else, but acting for the sake of one's people. Like Alexander Nevsky, like Prince Pozharsky, like Metropolitan Alexey (who was a mentor to Dmitry Donskoy), like many others. It is their actions that sustain the entire ethnic group – these 5-10%. It is them that people remember for centuries. It is them that people are proud of. And not just those who renounced everything. The main thing is to fight for the well-being of those around you, even if they themselves do not yet see it (as Alexander Nevsky did).

oh, and you're bringing up Jesus Christ now! How much time has passed! People change. And besides, no president of America has stolen as much in their entire life as the average Russian official. This is a problem of mentality.
