Those *true* RUSSIANS who *count* are those who 'step up' and fight PUTIN's War (Ukraine) ... I would NOT want to be living in RUSSIA , say female , IF that your *brother* did 'run off' to GEORGIA , to avoid RUSSIA MILITARY SERVICE ... This situation seems as a *perfect* manner for PUTIN to create a *BLACK LIST* of NOT DESIRED Russian Citizen Families (a PURGE) ... And any offense or misstep = *GULAG for 10 YEARS* as punishment ... I think this will be *exactly* what happens over time in RUSSIA now ... PUTIN seems as nothing if not VINDICTIVE and VENDETTA hateful.
