I HATE RUSSIA
The higher the level of Armenian-Russian relations, the lower the
Russian sentiment in Armenia. This ratio peaked when Serzh Sargsyan
announced in Moscow about his wish to enhance the relations and join
the Customs Union.
Moscow hardly cares how Russia treats its colonies but Moscow should
also understand that there is a critical level which easily breaks
the empire. And in Armenia this level is already reaching its high.
Practically nobody, not even the ruling party has approved Serzh
Sargsyan's decision. Moreover, many people admitted that the decision
was made under powerful pressure rather than in line with the interests
of the Armenian state. And there is a clear attitude to those who
make pressure.
In Armenia nobody goes chanting "I hate Russia" or "Down with Russia",
there are calls to say no to USSR, Putin go away, Serzh go away.
However, even Samvel Alexanyan does not force his women to call for
friendship with Russia. Everyone knows what Russia is.
Vladimir Putin with his neo-Soviet imperial policy has been able to
achieve the psychological collapse of the 300-year-old empire. Peoples
who felt being more equal a part of empire than ever (under the
"elder brother") understood that they are just a colony deprived of
rights which can be blackmailed and coerced.
Putin's cynical imperialism gave birth in the former colonies the
national dignity, and they started breaking off the empire.
In fact, refusal of the Association Agreement with the EU may help
Armenia to break off the first, raising the issue of national dignity
and sovereignty.
