And only today I realized that real people were behind this: boys, girls younger than me, who fought for the Motherland, died for it, for us today, for our life. Every year on May 9, my mother took me to the parade. I liked how the orders shine. Mom bought me balls. Everyone was smiling. Mom gave flowers.

This is probably our greatest secret power. Such a Russia is a strange country. She can be inflicted a number of defeats, you can even win a military campaign from her, or maybe a whole war. But only as long as the state is waging this war. As long as it, as Lenin would say, "does not grow" ... only not from an imperialist into a civil one, but from an ordinary war into a Patriotic one.
It is impossible to win such a war against Russia. At no cost.
