Reasons for Speaking Russian on Instagram

Four reasons why I speak Russian on Instagram.

I believe that at this point in time

the Russian language is a test of sanity.

Let me explain.

I love Ukrainian and Russian equally.

And I easily switch to Ukrainian if there is a need for it.

If a person who speaks Ukrainian is reasonable, they

won't focus on the fact that I speak Russian.

This is the test.

It means the person is safe.

And they don't divide people into first and second class based on language.

When the intimate video was leaked, I opened it, watched the first few frames,

appreciated your great figure. But to be honest, your Russian grated on me.

The second reason.

I don't want to please anyone.

It's more important for me to be myself and express myself the way I feel,

and not as Ukrainian propaganda imposes on us, playing on the trauma of war.

Next.

I believe that the Russian language is just a language,

which doesn't just support Russia.

And which was a part of my life and my history.

And now the main question, oh Lord.

Why should I submit to laws

established by thieves and murderers who usurped power?

And the last thing.

I don't support the narratives that there are no good Russians.

Thereby, I don't want to cultivate hatred and xenophobia in myself.

You know,

war makes people very harsh.

And hatred always breeds only hatred. Though

not everyone can preserve their humanity.

And that is exactly how dehumanization happens.

And this, I believe, is absolute degradation.

I don't want to degrade, I want to cultivate only love and common sense.
