That’s right, my grandson helps me with this.

I understand the outrage. But I will expand on this thought in the second part. I would appreciate it if you read it tomorrow.

Thanks! I too was thinking about the best place for this. In the end, it works best as an old man’s philosophical musings. 👴

It sounds a bit cryptic, but thanks for the opinion. And now I’ll know what I can call myself: a tankie 😀

Thank you, I am very grateful for your comments. I’ll try to post the next part very soon!

I was born in 1930, in a remote village in the mountains of South Ossetia. Until a certain age, I had no idea which country I lived in, or whether the political system was good or bad. But I saw nature. I interacted with people, and I read literature that urged me to love my homeland. I read about patriots, those who gave their lives to save the country. Only much later did I begin to understand whether our rulers were leading us with good or bad politics. And my patriotism was not dependent on their politics.

As for Solzhenitsyn, he was a product of Khrushchev, who hated Stalin. Khrushchev had his reasons for that. At first, Solzhenitsyn wasn’t so aggressively opposed to the USSR, but when he realized the benefits of anti-Soviet sentiment, he became a fierce opponent. Yes, there were things to criticize about the USSR, including the camps. These things were new to all of us back then, and that’s why Solzhenitsyn became popular. But history cannot be viewed only from one side. Yes, there were the camps, but there was also the selfless, heroic labor of the Soviet people, who, in just 10 years, prepared the country to stand up against all of Europe’s military might.

Solzhenitsyn even called for America to drop nuclear bombs on the USSR. Meanwhile, I was a colonel in the Soviet Army. That’s how I evaluate Solzhenitsyn’s position. Thank you

The current political situation in the country is shaped by the presidential elections. However, it’s important to acknowledge that elections have been happening in the same way for almost the last 30 years, which is to say, there haven’t really been any elections. When I look at America, their presidential elections are set for around November 6, 2024, and the race for the presidency has already been going on for more than half a year. Compare this to our country, where candidates have just over a month to build their credibility from 0% to the required percentage to be elected in a country as large as ours. The main contender, however, has the state budget at his disposal. He wants to continue being the country’s leader, and he has the power to send a message to legislatures at all levels and to the government.

Honestly, I don’t understand the legal standing of this message. What is it? Is it his personal creation, and are officials held accountable for not implementing the points outlined in it? Or is it the work of a group of people who are well-versed in politics and the country’s economy, creating this message to assist the president? I’m only 94 years old, and perhaps that’s why I don’t understand the depth of the intent behind this message. Who is responsible for fulfilling or not fulfilling the good goals set out in the message? If there’s no responsibility, then in our country, this message is a beautiful fairy tale that plays the necessary role for the candidate, so to speak.
