Our conversation with my son. 9 years. The third year I left Donetsk.

- I again collected honeysuckle today.

- This is the one that we ate, and the desire to guess, because the first time in the year you eat?.

- Yes. I always want the same desire.

- What kind?.

- That there never was a war.

We do not talk to him about Donetsk. What is dead - you can not return, you need to live on. Maybe in vain we do not speak. Rarely emerges Donetsk. Memoirs - how together they did something - it happens, infrequently. And flashes by accident - and all inside zashchemit.

- Do you miss Donetsk?.

- Highly.

And in this simple "very" - so many things ... - Dad, they asked us to write about our native city. I wrote about Donetsk, it's my hometown. Read it?.

- Yes, of course, read it!.

- "Моє рідне місто - Донецьк". Він дуже красивий. In a wide range of cultures, bagatoes, green spaces, and tsikavih mіsz. In nyomu navyt - "Donbas Arena". From time to time they often walked around the city ....

The difference between Ukraine and the "Russian world" is not in relation to Lenin, not in language, not in Bandera Avenue, not in nationality.

The adults of the two states in general have much in common - more than I would like. And this is in common - not love for Leps, not language, not BG, not Ivan Dorn, and not May 9.

The common is corruption, this is power - which copies one another, covering the problems with war and nationalistic frenzy, this desire to find the culprit in their problems in someone else's. This is a general. Alas.

And the difference is that in Ukraine our children make wishes - that there never was a war. To dad not killed. To return home. This is the wish of children in Kiev, Uzhgorod, Kramatorsk, and Donetsk. And that's why Donetsk is Ukraine. Not the "Russian world".

Because in the "Russian world" children make other wishes - I do not know what, probably, the ones that children should think about - but they are exactly different, not exactly about never having a war.

They make their guesses - in their caps and with St. George ribbons, wearing them adults, hearing by themselves "we can repeat it!", "Grandfathers fought!

", Seeing baby carriages in the form of tanks, reading inscriptions on foreign cars "to Berlin!", And under Bravura, joyful reports on TV about the next successful bombings in Syria and the victories of the "Russian world" in the Donbass.

In this - the difference between Ukraine and the "Russian world".

They will never be brothers.
