I was so hopeful in the beginning of 90s. There was sense of harmony all over the Northern hemisphere.
But then Russia started to quickly become more and more aggressive, yes, first in the rhetoric, but then Putin came and the shit became real. Now I understand that the Russian society first had a kind of agreement with him - they don't mind the politics and Putin doesn't mind them.
It looks like it has played out well for Putin but not so well for the rest of the Russians.
Closing down close to all of the Internet traffic to the free world feels completely logical when the play of elections is nearing and if it is successful then it will probably remain like this.
