Where was I?

I now only very barely get to write to my blog since I have been so busy with many important little and big things in my life. Law is taking 99% of my time-but I do not complain, it is my first priority and love of my life. Other things like gym,family, rare socialising have taken the other 1% of my life. So yeah, very intense.

Find it so weird and hard not to find time for writing, because that's what I would always do as a way of expressing myself, a way of thinking inside myself. But trust me, once you get to real life, you will have to sacrifice many things you'd never though before you ever say goodbye to.
But summer is on its way and I am on my preparations to my last exam, so hopefully, there will be time soon. Which to be said, I will be spending with my family, in particular grandparents, uncle, and nephew that are coming to New Zealand for three months. I am so exited, I am just above the moon to be honest! I cannot wait for the 3rd of December, I just cannot wait!!!
Also moving the house is on agenda.. So this November have prepared busy times for me.

I will be ok tho, I love being busy!
Hope to come up with a nice entry to this blog very soonish

''Women that were born to DO Business''. Feminist side of my thinking..

I've always believed in a notion that some women were raised up to do business, rather than to be hold in a man's arms. You know what I mean?

Many women are just women. They are naive, very feminine, silly and foolish behaviour like, whole their life they are told that they just need to find a good man to care for them-and that's it-the mission completed. Why they have always been told that? Honestly, I can't imagine for whatsoever reason someone would bring up their daughter like that.

The world had changed a lot in the last hundred years. It is not good politics any more for more to be naive, silly, and just sit around doing nothing and waiting for that perfect good man. There ain't no way to be someone in this world this way.

I might sound feminist, well I don't care. In general women are the most strongest and wise creatures of the God in this world. And why in the world you be doubting that and dance around for a man, while not trying to become the greatest yourself? This world is full of possibilities, but only if you are searching for them. Only if you are desperate for them! You have to find those possibilities in every tiny thing! Because they truly are everywhere, if you believe in that.

Some women were just born for business, like myself. I always knew that I am a women who was born for business, rather than love. I am more successful at being tough, cold-hearted and neutral than at being a sweet girl with all those ''babe,babe, can't live without you''. It just has never been my thing really. Love is the last thing I think about in my life. It's just not on my agenda. At least, for another many years. Turning back to the business then..

The word ''business'' is not being considered in it's literal meaning by me here. It is actually really hard to describe what meaning of this word I have in my mind in this situation, but.. Women that was born for business is a woman that came to this world to created greatness. To believe that she can create greatness. And to work very hard to achieve this greatness.

See, there are many women in this world who are just women... But there are so not many of them, who do actually carry in themselves the true meaning of what's a real woman is..

My philosophy on Rome

What I think about Rome? I love that place, but somehow I felt it was not my city. There was something about Rome that didn't belong to me, and I couldn't quite figure what it was. And it's only then my friend told me, that maybe me and Rome just have different words. See, he had a theory, that the secret to understanding a city and its people is to learn-what is the word of the street. Every city has a single word that defines it, that identifies most people who live there. If you could read people's thoughts as they were passing you on the streets of any given place, you would discover the most of them are thinking the same thought. Whatever the majority thought might be-that is the word of the city. And if your personal word does not match the word of the city, then you don't really belong here. What's the Rome's word? -"Sex". And it's not just stereotype about Rome, all of them, all day, all they are thinking is about Sex. Even over at the Vatican?-That's different. The Vatican isn't part of Rome. They have a different word over their. Their word is Power. So this Rome word, cobbles the streets beneath your feet in Rome, runs through the fountains here, fills the air like traffic noise. Thinking ab it,dressing for it, seeking it-thats all anybody is doing. Which would make a bit of sense as to why, for all it gorgeousness, Rome doesn't quite feel like my hometown. The word of this city does not quite rightly or quite fully identify my full personality nor my potential; there is much more to me. Freedom, Achievement, Success: those are my words, they describe me just rightly, just fully.

Polina in Europe

I haven't had a chance yet to tell about my trip to Europe this summer. (European summer actually, while New Zealand winter).

It was simply amazing! Despite that I've caught a cold (a serious tonsilitus) during my flight to Europe before the trip had even started and had to visit a doctor in Germany-everything else was just unbelievable!

Our trip started from England from where by the EuropeStar train we were taken to Belgium. In Belgium we have met our tour director and our 16days long trip began!

During 16days we've visited 6 countries: Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and France. Each country was something different of course. And I've fallen in love with each of them in some way. Europe is an amazing place. It gets deep into your heart with it's beautiful old history, and stays there forever.

I will talk about each country in details once I have time to do so..

For now, just a little photo teaser.

Novak Djokovich defending his world number 1 title in semi-final of US Open

There is no more joy than seeing my favourite Novak Djokovich, world number 1 player holding and defending his title!

Novak Djokovich will stay ranked as number 1 after winning the semi-final against Wawrinka.

There is no more who deserves to be number 1 more than Djokovich. He is a warrior. He always comes back, he holds, he never gives up. He is an example of limitless possibilities.

I am just in a #Nolefamily forever. I adore Nadal as much as well, but Djokovich is the number 1 in my heart. I adore his attitude to the game. He is always there- world number one- Novak Djokovich.

I still can't overcome that feeling of incredible joy I have in my heart right now... My happiness is limitless..

Thanks Novak for that! #numberonetennisplayer

''Way of the peaceful warrior'' -a book that changes lives..

“There is no need to search; achievement leads to nowhere. It makes no difference at all, so just be happy now! Love is the only reality of the world, because it is all One, you see. And the only laws are paradox, humor and change. There is no problem, never was, and never will be. Release your struggle, let go of your mind, throw away your concerns, and relax into the world. No need to resist life, just do your best. Open your eyes and see that you are far more than you imagine. You are the world, you are the universe; you are yourself and everyone else, too! It's all the marvelous Play of God. Wake up, regain your humor. Don't worry, just be happy. You are already free!” (Dan Millman).

Dan Millman is the real person, who I can say just made a miracle.. He is still alive and his story changes people's lives.. A movie, and more importantly books written by Dan Millman himself are must read.. 

Favourite time of the year, is the time of the US Open Tennis Tournament

Djokovich one love. No need to say more. I adore his tennis, I adore his personality. He is a great guy to be the world number 1, and well - he is World Number 1.

I've been in love with tennis all my life. I love playing it, I love watching it.
My favourites of all times from men's singles are Djokovich. But I do not underestimate and adore just as much as I adore Djokovich the other greatest players, which are -Nadal and Federer. Those three are are my favourites. I would never in the world miss watching their game.

I cannot wait one day to go and witness these greatest guys doing the magic live. One day!

Кивосы и Мода - Удобство+Кусочек красоты

Я никогда не смогу спокойно смотреть на Новозеландскую моду. Мне не смешно,честно, мне очень больно.

Меня охватывает безумное бешенство внутри, когда я вижу кивоса-мужчину в костюме. Вот во всем мире мужчина в костюме как мужчина в костюме, и только в Новой Зеландии мужчина в костюме- это ''подстреленный мужчина''. Почему? Потому что штаны не как у всех нормальных людей, а обязательно на сантиметров 10 короче; так,чтобы обязательно было видно весь носок.

Почему?Зачем? Без понятие. У меня всегда было предположение, это так задумано,чтобы штаны не грязнились. В общем, логика такова у них: костюм-это красиво, но надо чтобы и практичен был- надо укоротить.

У кивосок-девушек логика примерно такая же! Кроссовки и классическая юбка или платье. Юбка-так надо,так красиво. Но чтобы было удобно-кроссовки. Чуть-чуть красоты,чуть-чуть удобства. Просто гениально!

Поход на акупунктуру,воскресные мысли..

Для меня никогда не был секретом тот факт, что во мне очень много противоречий, много эмоций, очень разных, от любви до ненависти, от злости до радости. Однако мне казалось, что моя эмоциональность года как два уже поутихла.. Все перерослось, расстрачиваться по пустякам перестала, и ум вроде бы стал преобладать над эмоциями.

Однако, мой сегодняшний похож на акупунктуру к профессионал-китайцу (которого мне посоветовала моя лучшая подруга) закончилась небольшим шоком, и нескончаемым количеством последующих мыслей.

Профилактику иголками я пробовала первый раз в 2011 году, когда у меня было обострение моей проблемы с кожей. Ходила я тогда здесь в Окленде к русской женщине. Помогло или нет,я в тот раз так и не смогла понять. Однако теперь,спустя два года решилась сделать такую профилактику еще раз,так как уже давно знаю,что Зеландские врачи ничем мне не помогут. Зеландский врачи это вообще отдельная история,в общем,тратить деньги и надеяться на их помощь нет смысла.

Просто подержав мою руку в своей, при этом сжав какую-то там точку, китаец-врач многое что мне сказал...И я знаю,что сказал так как оно действительно и есть.

Сказал он, что Полина у тебя очень слабое здоровье на данный момент..Энергия твоих почек никакая,а эта энергия самая главная,которая отвечает за весь организм..Обнадежил он меня нет,что сказал,что никто кроме меня самой мое здоровье не поправит..Никакие иголки тут не помогут...Они направят,дадут толчок но ненадолго.

По его словам во мне переплелось кучу разных миров,переплелось все так,что у меня прямо там все кипит..Сказал,что чувствует,что я жутко эмоциональная и что нужно просто щелкнуть пальцем в неподходящий момент чтобы меня разозлить..Из тех людей,кому даже новости читать не стоит и фильмы тяжелый смотреть- потому что у моего организма потом стресс от моих думок и переживаний.

Интересно да? Лет в 12 мне еще сказали,что все мои кожные проблемы от того,что я нервная,впечатлительная,эмоциональная..Но в то время я и вправда была такой и даже больше!Сейчас вспоминая какой я была,мне и правда страшно.Я была такая непонятная,что меня можно было задеть и обидеть одним словом буквально; я много страдала по всему и ревела буквально от каждой немного грустноватой новости.Я была страдалицей по натуре- мне всегда нужен был обьект по которому я могла бы страдать. Слава богу,все это потом перерослось. И я превратилась в нормального,стабильного,жутко целеустремленного человека. И я ведь даже думала что во мне пропала эта привычка думки думать постоянно...Ведь я раньше всегда думала думала думала о чем-то...Я находилась в компании людей,а сидела и думала думала думала  о чем-то своем.Это с одной стороны хорошо,но с другой стороны-очень плохо...Ведь надумать и накрутить столько всего себе можно! Вроде сейчас не так как мне кажется,но с другой стороны мне мой парень говорил буквально полгода назад,эти слова врезались мне в память:''Babe, don't think too much, or you will lose your hair!''.Он просто знает меня,или вернее сказать,он просто не видел какая я была года 3 назад,вот тогда бы он сказал мне думаю,что все,дорогая,волос у тебя уже ЗАВТРА же не будет после твоей сегодняшней круглосуточной думки!

Так что,это воскресение принесло мне прямо какое-то странное чувство..
Во мне видимо все миры переплелись так как я мысленно живу и в Зеландии,и в Англии,и во Франции,и в Италии,и в Швейцарии..После Европы у меня действительно многое переплелось в голове.

Теперь мне нужно заняться йогой,поменьше смотреть тяжелых фильмов,и к моему великому сожалению,нельзя так много бегать и так много заниматься в джиме..Потому что сказали что этот pump,эти чувство когда ты поставил себе target и достигаешь его- сказали,что в моем организме вызывают бурю..Сказали,что много на себя беру..И что мне будет полезнее заниматься йогой,в которой нет targets or feeling of pump, в которой просто расслабляешься без какой-либо целей...

Эххх...Джим я любимый все равно никогда не брошу!Это же моя любовь!

Вот сколько мыслей может навести на человека поход на акупунктуру..

Всем хорошей ночи xx

Моя теория Взросления и личностного Самоутверждения.

Взросление? У девушек взросление начинается, мне кажется, когда они перестают мечтать о красивой любви и думать-искать-находить-терять парней. Прошу заметить, что при такой моей теории - у многих девушек это так называемое взросление не наступает никогда.

А почему? Потому что они не хотят ничего добиваться сами. Они не хотят самоутверждаться, не хотят морально и умственно расти. Всему этому они предпочитают довольно простое решение: бегать за парнями, пока не найдут того своего крутого миллиардера на белом коне. Находят? Это вам наверное лучше знать! Но я думаю, что кому как повезет; некоторым везет сказочно - и находят.

Со своей стороны я не могу назвать это везением. Я всегда считала и продолжаю считать, что девушка должна быть самодостаточна. Полностью самодстаточна. Я всегда к этому стремилась и продолжаю стремиться. Каким образом?

Да просто тем, что я не гоняюсь за парнями. Скажу даже больше, когда они встречаются на моей дороге- они мне мешаются. Они путаются у меня под ногами, и сбивают меня с толку. Мне куда проще без них, чем с ними. Поэтому понять девушек которые жить без парня не могут для меня всегда было тяжело. Ведь мне наоборот, легче живется без каких-либо парней.

Я люблю принадлежать самой себе. Я не люблю растворяться в мужчине и быть от него зависимой по тем или иным причинам. Мне важно всегда быть в покое с собой и уметь контролировать свой эмоции, чувства, свои мысли. Я не подпускаю мужчин к себе ближе чем на расстоянии вытянутой руки. Мой мужчина, кем бы он ни был всегда чувствует мою отдаленность, и знает, что он никогда не сможет полностью узнать меня- мои мысли,чувства и эмоции, ведь многое из них принадлежит мне и только мне- оно там,где никто не найдет,очень глубоко во мне.

Никакой мужчина не сможет сбить меня с моего пути. А путь мой долгий и великий..Я слишком долго работала над собой, чтобы научиться перестать растворятся в мужчинах, которые только и умеют что врать, предавать, бросать, играть..не важно как это назвать- это то,что они делают. Делают всегда или время от времени-не столь различно.

Мне этого не надо. Я с этим всем столкнулась с периоды тинейджерства и поняла, что мне этого просто не надо! Мое сердце настолько необычно и настолько любимо мною самой, что я никому не позволю его задеть. Я слишком его ценю. Сердцу моему и так уже достаточно доставалось, и в какой-то момент мне просто пришлось научить его работать по-другому: перестать доверять людям,перестать очаровываться в них же самых, перестать влюбляться и растворятся в мужчинах, перестать быть доброй и великодушной ко всем.

Я холодная, я очень холодная. Но в тоже время я могу быть очень импульсивной и жутко горячей. Я могу быть очень слабой и уязвимой,просто я не могу себе этого позволить. Я не нашла и не скоро найду того,с кем смогу быть слабой. И знаю, что не найду еще долго. И меня это не пугает. Так и должно быть. Я всегда знала, что мечтать, думать о мужчинах, и тратить на них время -это не мое. Мое-это идти другим путем,идти к великому. И когда я добьюсь своего великого, мой мужчина ко мне приложится-тот, который наконец-то мне подойдет по всем параметрам, просто потому что он будет моим. Он будет тем, каким я его всегда видела- жутко успешным и настоящим, до невозможности умным и мудрым. Почему он будет таким? Да потому что рядом с такой как я будет только самый мудрый и умный мужчина. Мой мужчина должен быть умнее и мудрее меня, успешнее меня. Я хочу набираться от своего мужчины чего-то полезного и умного, а не сама рассказывать ему об очередном дефолте в Америке. Мой мужчина будет моим идеалом, ведь я к нему шла всю жизнь,и всегда знала что он найдет меня. Я просто всегда понимала, что если ты хочешь быть с сильным и успешным мужчиной - для начала, нужно самой стать такой.

Перед тем как я встречу того самого, моего человека...Мне предстоит пройти великий путь. Я знаю, что была рождена для чего-то великого. И я действительно верю в это. Верю в это не сидя на диване ничего не делая; нет, верю потому, что знаю чего я хочу и приближаюсь к своей цели каждый день все ближе и ближе.

Я знаю что сильная, поэтому и холодная, поэтому и часто равнодушная..Так была воспитана, так говорили мне всю жизнь, что я добьюсь великого, говорили и заставляли верить в это всем сердцем..И с какого-то момента моей жизни, я поверила.. и тогда начался тяжелый труд.

Я знаю чего хочу и знаю, что всегда добиваюсь если действительно этого хочу... Я не растрачиваюсь на глупых парней и бестолковых людей, не трачу время на бессмысленные фильмы и книги, читаю и смотрю исключительно шедевральное...Я работаю над собой каждую секунду...И поэтому я знаю что у меня все будет. Я иду только к великому, ни больше - ни меньше. То,что делают все - это не по мне. Того, что есть у всех - мне не нужно.

Я иду другой, своей дорогой, и живу не так как живут другие, потому и в будущем буду той, кем не будут другие.

Потому у меня и будет все то, чего я всегда желала так сильно. Легкого пути к успеху не бывает. Тут уж, дорогие надо выбирать, либо бессмысленные парни, отношения, гулянки, либо- каждодневная работа над собой.

Я уже давно выбрала второе.

А ваш выбор, только за вами.

Saudi's Offered Russia a deal- how ridiculous is this news?

Seriously? Maybe US should just f**k off! It’s been obvious for ages that US just sabotages the media, putting out there only those things it wants the world to believe! Trying to make the world hate Middle East - while actually Middle East is the innocent one. Middle East has always been living peacefully, with their own religion, their closed country politics etc etc, until USA decided that Middle East has too much oil - and it’s time to intervene in their peaceful life. Another thing is trying to present Russia an Russian people as mafia, criminals - all those movies- its just, common, seriously? Maybe it what like Russia was in 1990s but not now. I m tired of hearing ab Russian mafia, etc. From what I know, US is not that clean, and has not less crimes, not less maybe more crazy people shouting kids in schools etc than Russia does. So, they really overdoing their thing. Seems like US believes it owns the world. They are really going too far. None of the conflicts these day happen without US intervention. It seems like the world is slowly dividing in to two parts: 1)Russia, China, Middle East 2) US, Europe. I think I’m alright with this actually. Well, someone has to stop the insane things they are doing, who else if not Russia?

Why I think that Russias ban on Gay Propaganda is the right thing to do

Firstly, I want to acknowledge that I am the person who usually never agrees with what Russian President, Putin, does. In fact, this might be the very first time I have agreed on his policy. A law which bans a Gay Propaganda came into force with the support of the Russian major political party ‘’United Russia’’ ( which is the same to say as Mr Putin’s decision). I totally agree to the new law.
 There are many reasons why, but I will only touch on the main points.
 The first and most major one is that I am very conservative person. And that means that I am very protective of the traditional values and norms, rules and religion. In political terms that means that I support the protections of traditions, norms and values, and very resistant to the extreme reforms that could always be done by the Government if it wants to do so.
 I am a person who thinks that every person should read books instead of watching TV; I am a person who thinks that a woman can never be overdressed and actually must be so; I am a person who thinks that it is not normal to sleep around and be in a new relationship every month; I am the person who thinks that natural beauty is a norm and that  the extreme overuse of the make-up is does not make you look good  or beautiful, in fact it is disgusting; I am a person who does not agree that it is a norm to dance in a very provocative way and half-naked in the club and it is not a norm for a woman to be drinking in big amounts; I am a person who had read so many books that taught me what is right and what is wrong, and was brought up by a farther who was so so strict and tough on me while I was growing up, a farther who taught me how to be a lady, not an easy-going slut. The farther, who educated me in a way women were educated at 18th Century, and that is that a woman must be shy, must be well-dressed, must be well-educated, must respect herself, must not use extreme make-up etc etc. My farther educated me in such a way that I could never ever possibly thank him enough for that! Seriously, I am just so thankful that I had not become like almost every ‘’standard’’ girl nowadays, those girls that are unfortunately considered to be normal and standard. So, that leads to the fact that I am not normal. I am like not from this planet. I am Polina, who should have been born in the 18thCentury, because that’s where I would fit more. The era, where everything was so pure and so clean, where people were together because of great love, not because of a we call now ‘’sex’’ (the way I see it what people now call relationship means ‘’we are sleeping together’’, and the world love has just lost it’s meaning) ; where women were not cheap-sluts, and where men were ‘’men’’, the era in which there were no clubs, but traditional balls, the era- where the world was not going insane yet, and where everything was just as it should be. Those times are an example of a norm for me, nothing else.
 So after that how could someone think that I will say that propaganda of gays is OK? Excuse me guys, for me even kissing in public places in most cases is not OK, and you say gay propaganda, gay rights? What are you talking about?
 I am not against gay people, I do not hate them, I do not judge them, I do not even think about them if they are not shouting about their existence. But lately they are shouting. Explain to me please, why traditional orientation people are not talking or discussing or debating about their sexuality? Because sexual life is a highly a personal thing. (well, must be at least). So why should I hear so much about the homosexual people life? I am not interested in hearing about it, I am not interested at looking at them either.
 I am ok with gay people being ‘’gay people’’, but because it is not a traditional perception of what is right you should keep it quiet. Do whatever you want, kiss whoever you want and how you want – but do it at home, so no people will be observing it, because Russia wants it’s society to have a normal perception of what ought to be, and that is – man and woman; woman and man. And that is not because it was said by God, it is because that is how our society been thinking from many many centuries ago, so why should we change our perception now?!
Yes, gay people say that a person cannot become gay just because he is observing you being gay, because those cells that are responsible for the person’s orientation form in am early stage of the unborn. I can agree to that. However, if the person born gay, and he/she will see that no one doing it, he/she will consider that it is not ok – and most likely will try to change. But, if the person born gay, and he sees that ohh there are many people like this, so it is absolutely normal. Russia does not want it to be that way. Our youth must be thinking that being gay is not a usual norm.
I am not saying that the society will crumble necessarily because of the allowed gay rights; it is more about that if you allow people one thing that you shouldn’t have allowed, they will ask for more, and that would lead to further and further laws that will eventually lead to a particular problem, and that problem will then crumble the society.
I support gay propaganda law in Russia and I am against very relaxed law in New Zealand because I want to live in a standard society that sticks to the traditions of our ancestors, that respects and values it. I do not want my children to think that gay is a norm. Our grandfathers and grandmothers had not been fighting in a war with the thought that one day this matter will be happening to the people of their country. I do not want my children to be educated and brought up as kiwi kids are, because it is in many cases a huge disappointment. Such laws as anti-smacking law- you think it will do NZ’s society any good? I do not think so. I always thought Russian people are very unintelligent …until I came to New Zealand. And that’s where I’ve understood, that no, Russian kids are very intelligent compared to what I see here. Kids who don’t even know that interrupting adults is not polite –that’s what I see here. And these children cannot be smacked? How are you going to teach them what’s right or wrong? We will see how all these laws like anti-smacking, gay people rights law etc will do your future!
The most annoying thing in all these debates is how so many people think that they have rights and knowledge to judge and accuse Russia in this matter. How can you judge a country, which you will never understand? How can you judge a country in which you have never lived and which you have never even visited as a tourist? I believe that I have a right to do some judgments on New Zealand law, because I have lived here for almost 5 years already: I know how society functions, I know how people think and what they believe in. Plus, New Zealand is not very different from many countries, while Russia is a totally different world from everything else.
So how could people judge a country, which is completely different from everything else? The country, which went through so many things in its history like no other country ever did. So I would say that before you start judging Russia you should at least live through some of the things Russia lived through, and more importantly, you should survive through it.
Have New Zealand ever had any wars? Any revolutions? Have it ever been involved in major world wars? Have it ever had total collapses? Have New Zealand ever went through anything that could undermine its values, its traditions, its understanding of things? Never. New Zealand is a country that never had any problems. New Zealander’s are people who never had any problems such as being poor, not having any products in the country, while also fighting in the war and observing the death of your loved ones. Don’t get me wrong; I do not blame New Zealand or its inhabitants. More than that,I am happy for kiwis, they are lucky people who have never seen or experienced what my grandparents seen and experienced. So be happy on that matter, But leave Russia alone. Do not judge a country, which you will never know or understand. Russian people went through so many pain in their life, and many are still going through it, so it is not up to you to tell them whether to allow gays in their country or not.
Tell me who would go to fight for New Zealand in a war? Gays? What are they going to do in the war – put their make up on, run in a high-heel shoes or make those gestures with their hands that they always do? Oh wait, New Zealand never went through any war!!!!! That’s why you would not even know!!!! And that’s why Russia would. And that’s why Russia obviously knows better what’s good for it and what’s not.
 Don’t try to judge and accuse a country with such a rich cultural history. If you do not know, the biggest number of the greatest people in the world came out of Russia. People such as Tolstoy, Chehov, Chaikovsky, Pushkin, Mendeelev – the number is infinite. So you think you know better than what’s they knew? Does New Zealand have any great people like Russia does? Does New Zealand have any cultural history like Russia does? Does New Zealand have any famous history? Show us some great worldwide famous people from New Zealand first to prove that the laws New Zealand enforces produces a valuable society? And then we can talk. While you don’t have any, I suggest you don’t talk at all.
So think twice before you judge one of the greatest countries in the world. And even though many of Russian’s cultural and historical richness has been lost, Russians will always value it and it’s aim is protect those values as much as possible.
Before you judge Russia, firstly try to become even close to what Russia is and what it went through.
Sitting in front of the computer and arguing against a country with such an old history and supporting a decision of the country, which is the youngest country in the world? Only stupid person can do that. Young country as New Zealand that has no history at all to have any traditions and values – that’s why it can easily enforce these kind of controversial laws. Russia is an old country, with enormous amount of history, and obviously it knows better what’s right or wrong for its citizens, without advice from countries that are not even close to Russia’s level, and whose society consists of people who can’t even think of the results those reform will bring in their future.
 So, don’t blame Russia at a time of some future war, when Russia will have men fighting for it’s country, while you will have a ‘’so-called-men’’ fighting for yours.
