With that said, it’s actually Russian people who should be envious of Ukrainians, and the pride, determination and courage that Ukrainians showed to improve their own living conditions.
The Ukrainian revolution started out as a protest, and led to over 90 days of protesting, fighting back, digging in, and sacrificing in Maidan. Over 90 days! With people dying.
There’s legit hundreds of thousands or perhaps millions of people in Russia, who know the writing that’s on the wall. And while I don’t blame anyone for not wanting to protest in Russia, it’s still disappointing to see that people can’t come together to force change. Shows what most people think, when they’re just trying to get out of Russia, while Maidan proved the will of the Ukrainian people to better their homeland.

Russians, myself included, really don't have a will to fight for a better homeland. We have it programmed in us that we should go somewhere else and find a better life there. One of the reasons could be that Russia is so vast If people were unhappy they could always just move elsewhere and settle in empty lands. Whatever the reason, though, we clearly don't have the spirit of Ukranians.
