Boris Johnson Tours Kiev

The British Prime Minister makes a surprise and welcome visit after Ukraine wins the battle for the capital against Russia.


Very Strong Move by Boris Johnson

I'm here right now too. Does that mean every Russian is OK with it? No. But there are a lot that are and support it. Really hard to feel bad for Russians, when their country is butchering people and are close to starting another world war.

You're correct to a point SD. They're ok with it becuase it's what they have been taught and the ones who haven't been indoctrinated have been threaten to say they go with it, or die.

Marina Dubrova, an English teacher on the Russian island of Sakhalin in the Pacific, showed an uplifting YouTube video to her eighth-grade class last month in which children, in Russian and Ukrainian, sing about a “world without war.”

After she played it, a group of girls stayed behind during recess and quizzed her on her views.

“Ukraine is a separate country, a separate one,” Dubrova, 57, told them.

“No longer,” one of the girls shot back.

A few days later, the police came to her school in the port town of Korsakov. In court, she heard a recording of that conversation, apparently made by one of the students. The judge handed down a $400 fine for “publicly discrediting” Russia’s Armed Forces. The school fired her, she said, for “amoral behavior.”

“It’s as though they’ve all plunged into some kind of madness,” Dubrova said in a phone interview, reflecting on the pro-war mood around her.

There are reports of students turning in teachers and people telling on their neighbors and even the diners at the next table. In a mall in western Moscow, it was the “no to war” text displayed in a computer repair store and reported by a passerby that got the store’s owner, Marat Grachev, detained by the police. In St. Petersburg, a local news outlet documented the furor over suspected pro-Western sympathies at the public library; it erupted after a library official mistook the image of a Soviet scholar on a poster for that of Mark Twain.

Think about it , a World Leader turning his own people against each other with lies and threats!

Reminds me of what happened here initially after the Patriot Act was passed.

I know teaching is different every where but this Russian teacher definitely put herself into a situation that a teacher in the United States should know better than to do, at least based on the article, and definitely at her experience level.
