Kirill. I became gloating, almost angry. I used to think that Russians just needed to learn how to become responsible citizens. Explain to them that politics is not something far away, but a mechanism that will affect them sooner or later. It seemed to me that if this understanding emerged, we would all feel better.
I left Russia in 2022. Four years later, I look from the outside at people who are just starting to come to the conclusions I have lived with since 2014. Only now, in 2026, when reality has become too noticeable to ignore, they are starting to raise their heads and say something. This makes me angry.
For more than ten years I have been trying to talk about responsibility and the cost of indifference. It was convenient for them not to hear, and it was wonderful and pleasant for them to live as if what was happening did not concern them. As if all of this was somewhere far away, with someone else, not them. Now that the consequences have reached them, I’m ashamed to admit it, but I’m gloating. I think: this is it, this is what I was talking about! This is the result of elections, silence, cynicism, indifference and the eternal saying “not everything is so simple.”
I am not proud of these feelings, but I confirm that they are true, and they exist. And part of me wants them to feel bad now, but not abstractly and symbolically, but really, so that they will suffer in the end. I know I’m not the only one, and that many who have immigrated don’t feel comfortable admitting it.
