Attempts to put pressure on Russia and to compel it to abandon its values, truth and justice have no prospects whatsoever.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The Russians have a lot at stake, and the power of Moscow pride should never be underestimated.
Russia is not a friendly character on the world stage.
Russia does not want confrontation of any kind. And we will not take part in any kind of 'holy alliance.'
But if Russia is to be part of this larger zone of peace it cannot bring into it its imperial baggage. It cannot bring into it a policy of genocide against the Chechens, and cannot kill journalists, and it cannot repress the mass media.
The great drama of Russian history has been between its state and society. Put simply, Russia has always had too much state and not enough society.
I don't feel any connection to Russia.
There's nothing good about Russia's activity in Syria.
The way I understand it, the Russians are sort of a combination of evil and incompetence... sort of like the Post Office with tanks.
Georgia does not need Russia as an enemy.
Russia has nothing: no successful politics or economy.
