Oh, yes. The Russian nationalist camp is just scary. And I share your hope. But what I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't rush to say Russia is the pure evil in this. I try to look at both sides and keep an open mind, but people will always try and put things in it. All in all, I hope there's no unnecessary bloodshed anywhere.
