Oleg Odintsovskiy I read somewhere that cats and dogs are enemies, because they got “lost in translation”. Wagging of tails, arching of backs and other signals denote different things for each species, and they just misunderstand each other. We (Russians) had been totally misunderstood when we dismantled ourselves, gave away the Crimea and Sebastopol without looking back at them, let “the Chicagoan boys” into our economy and removed every bug from the US embassy building. We perceived it as the dawning of a new era, and they assumed that the enemy had weakened. We told them that we did not care how many new states appeared, and they dragged those new states to the NATO. We told them about common security architecture, about four common spaces and about Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok, and they were happy to have so easily fooled Russian idiots, who believed their promise not to expand eastwards. Ukraine is the apotheosis of this logic. Putin was to accept “the choice of the Ukrainian people”, cooked in the course of 25 years of brainwashing from abroad basing on the anti-Russian forced inside the country, and the unwillingness to accept this “choice” has been “justly” punished with sanctions. Though, all of a sudden Putin started to play against the rules. And it came out that the Crimea and Sebastopol in composition of Ukraine is not a fact of geography, but Russian gesture of good will. That the division of Russian nation is not the result of the lost Cold War, but our deliberate contribution into united Europe. That all our concessions do not imply our consent with the opponent, but the consideration of the common future. Dogs misunderstood cats, believing in their zoological predeterminacy and the final victory because the nature itself had made dogs exceptionally right. They had overlooked the fact that the feline family also includes tigers.
