Articles like these are what makes Substack invaluable. I often struggle to put into words a response to articles because I am not a writer. I do, however, recognize truth when I read it, and different perspectives like this find ways to make me re-evaluate my own outlook on things. I look forward to more of these. Thank you.

Alla, as an American, this article makes me think hard and examine my premises and preconceptions. I think many of us have awoken to the extent of the fact (belatedly, I admit) that the naïve assumption we are somehow always 'the Good Guy' is dangerous childishness. That the moral high ground we think we occupy is well-crafted delusion, and the forces that would pick at the carcass of the USSR are the very same that have -- now lacking a suitable meal -- turned inward on the very people they are intended to serve.

Please keep writing. Millions of us are starved for perspective. We know we're being manipulated, but triangulating truth is very difficult. It's imperative for the very existence of humanity that we find and use every tool possible to see clearly through the Narrative -- lest the dogs of nuclear war slip their chain behind our ignorant and stupefied backs.
