Are you damn proud? Their own earnings? Their own economy? Or the government?
I am proud of my country! of Russia! The country is not the earnings, not the government, not the economy. The country is the people. The country is a wheat field, a berry grove, a girl smiling at you from the bus window. They are snowmen in the spring and snowmen in the summer. These guys are ready to strike anyone who is bad about Russian. Not to go, to bring him to court, but just to fill his mouth. Russia is a screw with the last office for 70 rubles, it is hot cakes with potatoes from smiling grandmothers on the street. How can you explain to a person who measures love by earnings, what is Russia? I’m proud to tell you, idiot, that I’m Russian. With a small salary, murdered by the economy and a stupid government.
