I have temporarily stopped accessing the media of Russian dissidents and of Ukrainian journalists and bloggers. It is painful to see their desperate attempts to massage what happened at the G20 summit into demonstrating that the West is finally going to do something about Putin. Soon, the realization that nobody will do anything whatsoever and that nobody cares will sink in, and that will not be pretty. But for now, they want to keep the hope alive.

Back in 862 (9th century), Russians decided that they have no idea how to govern themselves and invited a tribe from a distant land to govern them. So it is quite traditional for Russian-speakers to sit and wait for somebody to manage their lives. Usually, that somebody is located far away geographically.

I see. It must be a common syndrome. Nietzsche thought so. He said it is easier to obey than to command.
