Great Russian author, Boris #Akunin about living in #Putins #Russia: “I have nothing in common with Putin’s Russia, everything here is alien to me. It´s difficult for me to be here in the period of overall madness. Therefore, even though I do not intend to emigrate, naturally, I will probably spend most of my time abroad. A sober man feels uncomfortable under the same roof as drunks. I will visit periodically to see whether the binge is over. “I´m walking the streets in Moscow, looking at people, listening to the conversations, and I feel horrified. They don’t see, they don’t want to know, they don’t think. The people are not to blame. They have their own lives, everyday troubles. But blindness, lack of thought and impartiality have a high price in historical moments. Hardships await my country. Possibly even worse than the ones in Ukraine now. This is my opinion on the recent and non-recent events. And you cannot imagine how much I’d like to be wrong.” A bit longer version in English: news2night/en/news/pisatel-boris-akunin-sobiraetsja-uehat-iz-putinskoj-rossii
