Japan not being an independent country

Well, here's a list of things I like:

  1. Free medicine and education. Absolutely. When I broke my arm, I got a medicine help for free. I can't forget what doctors did: instead of doing a serious operation, they fixed everything in 10 minutes. And free medicine isn't just about bones: getting help because of COVID is also for free;
  2. Independence as a whole country and as human;
  3. Feeling safe no matter what;
  4. Kindness of people/Russian spirit. That's a special one. When I, my friends or family got in some sort of trouble, we could easily ask strangers for help. And they will not just help with the trouble, but even more. I remember how I stuck in a village in 30 km from my city, so I asked an old woman how can I get home. She said that I can't, because buses don't go here at that time, so she told me to stay at her house. That's what I did. I was welcomed there. It was really sweet. She even gave me a jar of jam to take home lol. For her kindness I helped her with broken electronic and something like that. That's just an example;
  5. Non-existance of BLM, LGBT and feminism as movements. Of course, Russia has gays, lesbians, etc., that's not illegal to be like that. People just stay straight, the way we, Russians, always were. And about feminism: there's no feminism, to be honest. Just radical feminism, which is about aggression towards men. Why? Because women here are equal to men.

Things I don't like:

  1. Corruption. Yes, yes, yes. It goes from 90s, when girls were selling their bodies and boys were doing drugs. It was a tough time. And tough times create strong people (future corruptionists). So that's just a matter of time when it'll end.
  2. Decision about Crimea which led to USD costing 76 rubles (it was 30 in 2013). BUT, I can understand the reason. Who knows what'd happen if we didn't take it back. It could get worse.
  3. Negligence. It happens by politics, police, meds, teachers. Everywhere. It's not like it happens all the time, but I think it's more common than in other countries.

And about Putin: I don't mind him being a president even for another 10 years. Why? Because here are not so many people who could replace him.

About Navalny: I don't think he was actually fighting corruption. He isn't that simple. He may be Kremlin's agent, so here won't be any other opposition/American agent, so his actions will harm Russia. Or maybe someone else, I don't know.

About Ukraine: Russia isn't interested in Ukraine as Russian's future territory. Access to The Black Sea is more than enough. Also, that's just cringe how people comment situation about Ukraine-Russia the way like we'll invade them very soon. They are commenting like this since 2014 lol.
