Who will you chose? Who will you bet on to prevail?
Being a Slav I will bet on the Truth. The Truth shall prevail.
Tell me?
Hm...
I don't know what will become of Russia. I only know that the age-old model of ruling your country and of exerting power over its citizens has run its course. The only thing that is still supporting the life of Russian ruling class and the old violence-driven system is nuclear weapons. However, both you and I know it - no matter how corrupt and deluded Putin and his cronies are, they are Slavs, and we are not Nazis. They will not drown the world in nuclear fire because the end of their era is near. They will recede into the shadow of history, as many before them did, and the world will go on until Our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
I said I don't know what exactly will become of Russia but she will, of course, remain. She shall not perish. You are God's own people, with your quiet dignity, perseverance, long-suffering and nobility of soul. You are, I think, closer to Christ than Poles with our pride and megalomania, but you have to accept the fact that nothing's eternal except God and you will have to change profoundly. Great changes in history never come without suffering, but they are inevitable and we can't stop or reverse the course of time.
"All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.", as one English saint once said... or "Everything's well in the universe, as a little bird told me.", as our common friend from Serbia used to say.
It will be all right, kiddo.
