25 million of Russian people suddenly turned out to be outside the borders of the Russian Federation. They used to live in one state; the Soviet Union has traditionally been called Russia, the Soviet Russia, and it was the great Russia.

They used to live in one country and suddenly found themselves abroad. Can you imagine how many problems came out?[/b]

Russian police force, fortunately, so far, do not use batons, tear gas or any other extreme measures of instilling order, something that we often see in other countries, including in the United States.

The law enforcement agencies and special services in the US have taken it apart, into little pieces, and have dissolved it.
Let’s just say this is not altogether exagerated.
