People on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine border were quite recently real relatives, and now they are ready to curse each other, accusing “of all mortal sins.” So, who "divorced" us? How did it happen that we began to trust the faces from the TV more than our own people? Why did “brothers forever” suddenly become “we will never be brothers”?

In the city of Kargopol, Arkhangelsk region, a bust of Stalin was dug out of the ground in 2020. Some of the residents wanted to put it on the central square of the city, and some strongly opposed this idea. The city split into pieces.

Baku life, Armenian blood, Soviet mentality and American emigration mixed in an incredible tragicomic proportion. Everyone went through the “Events”, as they call the war in Nagorno-Karabakh (the word itself is taboo). Everyone was forced to flee "in pajamas." The Armenian cemetery in Baku was asphalted. They were expelled from the city in 1988. They were not allowed out of the Soviet Union. The union collapsed. America accepted. They have been living in the USA for 30 years, everything is fine, they have adapted to a new life (financially). But thoughts remained in the USSR.
