There are always, in fact, two... This does not only apply to neglected or disordered states. Such events - such as the shameful Russian war in Ukraine - clearly demonstrate this.
One America was at war in Vietnam, and the other was against it, and so comprehensively (and creatively) that it all became an unavoidable pop-culture story. One France was at war in Algeria, and the other was seeking freedom for the Algerians. One Germany trampled Europe, while the other, with Thomas Mann ("Germany is where I am") was in emigration, disgusted by what was being done in the name of Germany. While one Serbia was waging wars, the other fiercely resisted the nationalist madness on the island of freedom named precisely - the Other Serbia.
It's always like that. Of course, also in the case of Russia. Like Montenegro, as we clearly see, all these years, decades, centuries...
In the end, all countries are torn - between their own banality and their own authenticity, if nothing else. Between the scared and the unafraid. Between those who see and those who do not believe the sights.
Magnificent is Russia, which rebels every day against this war and its insane dictator. Russian scientists, chess players, journalists, writers... refuse to shut up. Putin they cannot be silenced even by the harsh laws of war.
Constant protest marches, advertisements that do not abate despite the rampant repressive apparatus. That is the real Russia, I believe without a doubt. And that seems even more significant to me when we see idiots who want to soften the anger against Putin's Russia by stripping Rachmaninoff i Tchaikovsky from the repertoire? Or Tolstoy i Bulgakov off the shelves?
Ballerina who won't dance (wonderful Olga Smirnova, an icon of Russian ballet), an opera diva who won't sing, a journalist who shows an anti-war banner on live broadcast. The forms of resistance are increasingly imaginative and explicit.
But it's simply fascinating - our people always overwhelmingly and unerringly choose - the wrong Russia. As well as Montenegro, after all. And let's not talk about Serbia. Such a talent for making the wrong choices is something to study.
Russia opened a front not only in Ukraine, but also in - the outgoing Montenegrin government.
I heard that a betting shop in Podgorica is going to publish odds for ministerial fights. Who will attack whom, will they manage to separate them, and, if not, who will be more convincing in the hand-to-hand exchange of arguments?
We have a government that is reluctant to impose full sanctions and clearly condemn Russian aggression.
It's fate: after one government that faked its Europeanness and westernization, we got another that, for the most part, did the same thing, only for different motives. The last one brought us Russians, and this one would prefer to keep them, but not to be seen, if possible. They would like someone else to condemn Russia, but to count them in the result.
Where is the minister, if only to make an announcement Spajic and spontaneously tells an interesting story about how (one winter) he loved a Russian woman, and before her - a Ukrainian woman... And everything was OK. There were no tensions. A man knows knowledge. Intercontinental peacemaker.
There is no assembly, and we don't know where it will go. Maybe they are waiting for permission from the Kremlin? Or at least - embassies.
The forms of Montenegrin Russophilia are unusual, and strenuous above all. It is not uncommon for a man to turn out to be a fool for the sake of his loves, however, some loves ask for too high a price. If you agree to inhumanity because of some love, then the matter is certainly not in love, but in human material, that is - in you.
Joanikieva the statement clearly states where the metropolitan of the SPC is in Montenegro. And what kind of material it is. With his statement, he clarified why some citizens perceive him as a representative of the occupying church.
These days, as I watch Ukraine burn, it rings out like a chilling chorus, and in support of the better, Other Russia, which is still ashamed today, all clear: Death is a master from Russia...
