I have to be completely honest about something: if any of you have read an appreciable number of my fanfics, you may have noticed that a few of them contain anti-Russia themes. The truth is, I didn't write these fics to discriminate against the people of Russia. I'm just so pissed off by Putin and have been pissed off about him even before anything involving Ukraine, so I wanted to do something to denounce unchecked fascism and tyranny in any form.
Actually, while I'm still being honest, I'm very fascinated by the culture of Russia and other Eastern European and Balkan countries, whether or not they were part of the Soviet Union. My first hope is that any Russian servicefolk currently fighting in Ukraine will realize that Ukraine is not their enemy. My second hope is that the people of Russia will find a way to overcome the autocratic rule of Putin and institute a government that truly believes in liberty, peace and love for its people.
