"- Maybe it's time for us to say goodbye and end the communication?.
Today my grandmother told me this.
A small prehistory: she lost sight 10 years ago and since then can not read. A TV can be watched. And he looks constantly. And right before my eyes, the most terrible metamorphosis unfolded in principle, which can happen to an individual person: from an educated woman, a philologist who knew almost by heart Solzhenitsyn and Shalamov, who reprinted samizdat, she turned into an aggressive, limited person full of blunt anger that Hates the whole West to shaking, believes that in Ukraine sit the fascists and America attacks us with climate weapons. But, most importantly, what she did with propaganda is a blind willingness to stop all communication with her grandson, whom she loved most in her life. And if you need it, then I have no doubt that I must pass it off. "For I am a traitor to my country".
Why did she say that? Because she has long guessed what I'm doing and what I'm writing. But does not know exactly what exactly. I'm not saying, because if I say so, the point will be put in the same second. With age, it became even more intolerant and harsh.

At first I was very sorry and even suffered because of this, and then somehow calmed down and realized that in front of me is like a native person, but already only formally, but in fact - a stranger, quite a stranger. And terrible.
And today I'm for her: "Idiot, a filthy liberal who does not respect his homeland and history, a betrayer podvyakovyvayuschy Anglo Saxons and generally finished man". And she for me. Just a stranger.
Putin took from the people that he had only had time to doze off - all his rotten essence, the whole blackness of his soul, all the unconscious slavery and cruel stupidity that were laid and waited for his hour. As if the sewage broke through. This propaganda pumps people to an insane state, turning them into monsters. And this is one more thing for which I will never forgive this country. I can not imagine how many such family dramas happened, how many people who loved each other were separated once and for all. Damn this country together with its monstrous population, "Tverskoy wrote..
