During the protest actions, Russians do not use bonfires from tires, as it was in Kiev, because they are mentally different from Ukrainians; All the fault - the 300-year-old Tatar-Mongol yoke.

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the Russian human rights activist Lyudmila Alekseeva.

Answering the question why the Russians do not use a completely harmless, but effective way to combat power - bonfires from tires, - she said: "Russia is very different from Ukraine on the mood of the population. We are very obedient to the people power. This happened historically ".

In this context, the human rights activist added: "As a historian, I know that the Golden Horde, of course, reached Kiev in the 14th century, but pogromed everything there - and left. And at us it was 300 years, and till now it is felt. Ukraine at this time was in the principality of Lithuania. This is the difference. I really like how the Ukrainians act, but I'm Russian, and I understand why Russians behave this way, and not otherwise ".

"We will not go to Europe like Ukraine - I congratulate you, you already have a visa-free regime," but we will crawl to Europe, but still crawl, because we are a European country, just like Ukraine, "she said..
