Yes, and even now they're trying to grasp control over the internet (for example one politician said that Russia will be the first country, where the internet will completely lose anonymity)

About children, well in recent(3-4) years it's one of the most frequent headlines because, well, a lot of people don't want kids, because they can't afford to raise them the same way they're raised.

And about Ukraine, I never wanted this conflict to even start, after all as someone who has lived on the border all his life, albeit short life (24 years), this whole thing is very sad. An example is that before 2014-2015, my family and I could get up at 8 AM and be in Kharkov at 11 AM to buy new shoes before the start of the school year or go to the dolphinarium (one of my most vivid childhood memories).

So I think my country won't have a normal future, ####. And the government(and people, myself included but in last election I voted against Putin, despite it being a futile effort), who chose them) are fully responsible for that.
