I don't post here ever, but there were some questions that I would like to ask westerners about Charlie, his views and standpoints, as well as things that I see westerners ignore completely on a daily basis. Just for understanding where I come from – ex soviet country, born just after it’s fall, seen poverty and pulled myself out of it. Seen 90s and “criminal times” with Russian “culture” in all of it. Been living with Russians all my life, speak Russian, watch their news firsthand, can analyse it from the source and draw my own conclusions. I am not Ukrainian, born and citizen of a NATO country in EU, not the richest one, but my salary now is quite on the level with one from more developed nations.
