Without you: Russia is a disease. Which must be overcome
And from which one cannot recover in one day. Which takes away the strength that can kill if you do not fight it if your body is weakened. Is it nice to get sick? No, unpleasant. But you won't go anywhere. If so happened that you were ill. If so happened that there is a crazy neighbor nearby. The main thing is that the disease does not become chronic. The main thing is not to tear this disease, so as not to give her a chance to become chronic.
When you get sick and look at how other people enjoy life, it is very unpleasant. Like in your childhood, when you sit at home with temperature, and boys run in the yard and play football. So now, when you are without light and communication, and at this time somewhere in Qatar or London pub people watch football, you think about what this world is unfair. You want to be one of them, as it was always, you want to get back what you lost. But you can't do it right now.
But you know when you get well, you will join everyone again. When you get sick, you do not compromise with the virus. You do not say that the virus has definitely won. No. You are treating. You enhance your immunity. And then you get well. It may take a long time, but the disease recedes sooner or later. And you go on. Do you hate your virus? Perhaps. But the cold hatred of contempt for a parasitic being that cannot exist by itself. So is Russia.
Every time rockets fly you think that revenge is a dish that is served cold. And your hatred does not go anywhere. It becomes just more weighted and cold -blooded. Your hatred is like immunity from the virus that stays with us for life. Which will never give you a chance to get love with love for Russia or Russians. And this immunity will be engraved in my DNA to pass on to the next generations. It will be a very stable hate. And cold rational hatred is a very effective thing.
I thought for a long time why I am much easier for me now than in February and early March? And I realized. Because now you are clearly aware of the temporality of this disease. You understand that spring will come. That will be warm. There will be light. And Ukraine will exist. And you just have to whine, and, clamping your teeth, wait. Wait a high temperature. Wait weakness. Wait other manifestations of this virus. Very unpleasant. But temporary. And it saves. Because it drives away despair.
Because the night is not terrible if you know that there will be dawn in the morning. Because winter does not frighten if you know exactly what spring will be. And now we know that Ukraine will win. We do not believe, but we know. And we understand that the despair of the Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin pushes him to terrorist acts. Because he cannot win on the battlefield. And he hopes only that the terrorist attacks will make the Ukrainians stop. He thinks that it will make us surrender.
But Putin, as a well -known historian, will not find examples where societies whose armies have won, societies who understand why and for what they are fighting, would bend under pressure from inconvenience. It doesn't work. We know that. Putin may also know. But he has no other chance, and he grabs for that straw. We know that Ukraine will win. We know that the Armed Forces of Ukraine win. And we, civilians, should simply not interfere with them.
Soldiers and officers whose lives are now much less comfortable than the resident of any area of any peaceful city. Therefore, we have to endure. Because in the trench even more frightening and cold, there is no water and light at night. And so it is easier for us to endure. And it is easy to endure. Because we have to endure victory. And this temporality makes it much easier to experience all the inconveniences and problems that Putin and his terrorists create around. Russia is just a disease.
