It's interestingto see how it plays out. The tragedy of Russians is that they had an excellent opportunity to have a wonderful country but because Putin decided to start the war all that is now in ruins. Yes, you can have "friendship" with North Korea and with China, but honestly how does it end for you?

For the masses living in the country, things didn't changed much as they are very poor, except those drafted. People living in big cities experience just a few aspects of the future. But the main thing is that whatever was left of trust, of the basic human assumption that you don't kill other people, has been completely destroyed.
