Hey-ho, so it has been a year since the stuff got really tough
Living abroad makes distinguishing nice people from not difficult. As an election exit-poll volunteer i saw how many nice at the first glance people can actually be the people who vote for putler.
So, events like that don’t really do anything, yes, for some people it’s sad, and it can make people start acting, BUT, it can really show who you can trust here.
Even though i don’t really believe that dead people need flowers, i brought some, and candles.
Had a very nice chance to show a middle finger to the building where putlers spy operations start in spain.
In case you interested, the embasy is guarded by a spanish private security company. To show my middle finger i was waiting when they were not looking because didn’t want to offend nice local people.
The related to politics events here feel very very different of course. In Vietnam you can be arrested and sent to russia for saying bad things about putien. And so even the people in vn feel really weird.
Here, the Ukrainian and Navalny’s memorials are surrounded by police with their cars, because after some faschists tried to rip the posters now they stay here to protect the stuff and people from agents of kremlin.
