Also I find it rather odd, because having studied Russian literature when I was younger I always got a sense that the Russian people had earned enlightenment and a resilient, if sometimes morose, philosophy that sees life as fundamentally good, but filled with challenges introduced by those who lack such a grounded perception. An inextinguishable light persisting against imposing darkness.
This whole of current events and current outlooks I’m hearing about sounds nothing like that. It’s all darkness.
