About
success videos “Leningrad”

“Leningrad” — the example that you can live, not
changing yourself. In the country, which liberals somehow believe totalitarian. I

causes such eschatological enthusiasm… At concerts is overcome
a terrible being, comes the understanding that you can live with that, can it
make and at the same time to overcome that. And not engage in endless self-blame.

About patriotism

Patriotism requires a severe, hard and honest look at yourself. Here,

to educate is not necessary and the pressure on him is not necessary.
