One of the central preoccupations of the Russian people in the wake of the tragic airplane crash in Sinai was, “Imagine how happy this will make Ukrainians! They will celebrate this tragedy that happened to us!”
This idea was expressed, with maniacal obsessiveness, on TV shows, in newspapers, on blogs of private citizens.
In the meanwhile, Ukrainians were bringing flowers and cards to the Russian embassy in Moscow. Nobody was celebrating anything.
When it became clear that a wave of Ukrainian celebrations of the crash was not going to surface, Russians started visiting the blogs of other Russians, posing as Ukrainians and pretending to be happy about the crash. Of course, their IPs revealed that they were all located in Russia, so they had to stop. These were obviously not state trolls because those know how to mask their IPs. These were just regular Russian citizens.

It’s not only a cultural difference, it’s a difference in mentalities. Human mentality vs. what I would call totalitarian pseudo-mentality. Democracy vs. Evil Empire.

It’s so sad. These people can’t even experience grief when encountering a tragedy like this plane crash. All they can do is repeat the stupid fantasy of being surrounded by enemies. Their real enemy, however, resides inside themselves.
