alas, i am afraid that even if ukraine is able to restore its territorial integrity, most of russian citizens won’t understand that their government did something wrong. russia won’t ever be humiliated like nazi germany, to force people to think what they did wrong.

i am afraid of newer russian revanshionism and i am afraid of what their post imperial phantom pains will make them do in the future.

my impression is that majority of the russian citizens feel pain regarding the ‘lost lands’ as they often put it, as a result of ussr collapse.
