Now They Worry.

And they should (plus for the first time I support Lukuyanov). Suddenly, (this is a gist) one of the khohols who are still allowed at major Russian networks (this time it is TVC) Vakarchuk (Vakarov) complains that all references to "brotherly people" and "one people" have disappeared from Russian media. You see, Vladimir Putin doesn't use these terms anymore either. To which Lukuyanov responds that such terms do not exist in international relations. 

I was writing for years that 404 and its population DID form a political nation long time ago--it is ugly, it is despicable but it is nation nonetheless and it is NOT Russia. These people differ dramatically from Russians in their culture, values, outlook and these people are enemies of Russia and Russian people, period. In fact, the realization of this fact came too late, but it is better late than never that for a holder of 404 passport to get into Russia--it is an arduous process to finally make sure that Russia doesn't import anymore as was the case in 2010s sleeping cells of CIA, MI6 and GUR terrorists, who pretend to be "one people" with Russians. 

404 will never recover now, but the remnants will continue to bear the grudge (same as Germans did) against Russia who literally pulverized 404 into oblivion and continues to aggravate the situation for 404 and its Western curators. So, it is gratifying to see this myth (with roots in the Soviet Union) of "brotherly nation" dead and decomposing. Those Ukrainians who wanted to become Russians are for the most part in Russia already and in a generation they will become fully Russian culturally. So, 404 and its population should worry, because now there is very little sympathy to its plight on Russian side. 404 richly deserved it. Per Europe--its turn is coming.
