Russian boomers, man, it's something else...

Imagine being against Putin from the very start, imagine voting against him as soon as you become of legal age.
Imagine being told by your parents that Putin is a great guy that "dragged the country from anarchy" and you're wrong to be against him.
Imagine trying to expose him and his lackeys for being extremely corrupt.
Imagine being told that whoever will replace Putin will be more corrupt (just because, no proof or even a supporting argument to go with that)
Imagine condemning Russian government for both destroying its economy and pressuring their neighboors.
Imagine being told that you're too young understand all of that.
Imagine being right in the end. Your parents and the older soviet generation admiting that they've been wrong all along. Ten years ago, I would've expected it to be a great "gotcha" moment, but now, we're in the deepest shit possible and being right only seems like you were being gaslighted for a decade, unable to actually change anything.

It's all terrible that such conflicts are caused by humanity all throughout history. I just wish for people to be well. Stay safe, too.

OP
I am half of a country away from all this, - as far as I know, I am safe. Look out for Ukrainian artists if you know any. Thank you for the support though.
