for expressing your personal understanding of Russia. Also for validating what this article has to say.

My own Daughter lives in Kyiv. She sent this article to her friends and family to help us understand the complex and potentially dangerous situation Ukraine is in with Putin and his mentality.

It is a scary thought to think Putin believing himself as a directive from God. That can't be a good thing.
