[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=3) Exactly! So, Russia, let's hear it. Who owes whom what, and how, and what we have in common, apart from our borders, huh? [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=11) Come on, that's not fair of you. Not fair. [0:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=13) The customs deal worked out really well. What's the problem? [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=16) Two or three hundred well-off people won't hurt either you or us. [0:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=20) Yes, yes. Well, you don't like us Ukrainians, Russia.

[0:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=25) Just go out onto Tverskaya Street and look. [0:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=28) There, besides us Ukrainians, there's no one else to love. [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=32) What's wrong with you? [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=36) And we, you could say, come to you with all our hearts. [0:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=40) Look how happy we were when Putin came to power. [0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=43) Right? Of course. But we celebrated too soon. [0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=46) Turns out he was a decent man. So, Russia, here's the deal: either we become friends— or lend us some more money. Sanya! [0:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=54) Sashka, why would you say that? We were classmates with them, you could say, You could say, from the same issue.

[1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=85) Russia, remember, she always copied everything from you.

[1:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/6eB1dVCnoaNo/en/a-satirical-talk-with-russia-about-the-former-soviet-republics?t=102) Russia, how they courted you, huh!
