As DaOrks mentioned - it's not really a good idea to start such topic if yer not prepared for coming shitstorm. We want this community to stray from politics as far as it's possible. But I can answer your question - pardon my language, and possible lack of comprehension, I'm a bit weary.
People in my country don't really like you. As for me... I don't like three things. First of all - foreign policy of Russia. Second - by far I had a strange feeling that you are highly manipulated by media; could've been as well in my country BUT - I do not watch TV nor read newspapers. So I can't tell. Third thing, and that is mostly about russian themselves; most of them I've met in this game have an attitude not to give a fuck and act like masters of all. I mean - they behave like "fuck you, I'm russian, I'm allowed to do everything I want, amerykanska cyka". Pardon me, I'm not my ex, I do not speak russian. Everytime I see anyone from my country greeting me in polish, I tell'em to quit speaking it in international community, until we are alone - because it's rude that people hear and can't understand that. Russians, as I said, ain't give a shit about that. I know it's more about people and so called mentality, but in fact that mentality is something that have much impact on foreign policy of Russia - it's in fact sort of a vicious circle. History affects mentality, mentality affects policy, policy affects history.
But to end this sidetrack topic - as far, as team member is respectful, patient, keen to learn something, and keen to have some logical based discussion about anything, without getting to the level of deepest sewers, or "screw you, I know better" - I don't give a damn about their race, country, beliefs. And as long as they ain't try to convert me to their personal beliefs - I can fly with them.
I know some people from Kiev, they are learning at my faculty. Quite smart guys (they have to be, they want to survive at my faculty - pretty damn elite one, therfore: extremely difficult). They were against previous government (pardon me, I have weak memory for names). And they are far from right-wing extremity, or any extremity. Just like most of those people from euro-maydan (is it a proper pronounciation? I mean, that camp in centre of Kiev from first months of this year). Of course, there are guys from right-wing extremity - but as far as I know there were also quite a lot of anarchists. But most of them were just regular civilians, untied to any group. Many people were there because they were against bullshit corrupted government - is current any better? It's not worse as far as I know. In fact, they can't prove themselves very well, because of the war around east Ukraine.
Here is my honest opinion about the whole Ukrainian situation. People are told shit on every side. That's the only thing that can be sure. And what can be sure - so called prorussian separatists are definitely backed up by russian army. And even if there are people there, who want to live in Russia - well, for fucks sake, I don't suppose it was forbidden to move to Russia? Or any other godforsaken country. It ain't need any propaganda to look suspicious. Many other things - obscure. Except for one. People of eastern Ukraine are tired of all this. They don't care anymore. Most of them never cared, and they are now thrown in the middle of conflict.
Wanted my honest opinion? Here you are. And as I said - I'm going to be sick, so I'm getting side-tracked easily. Hope that nothing is offensive or something for anyone. Otherwise... well, learn to have a sort of distance to yourself, your life, your beliefs, and earn some bloody patience with world around ya.
Good night everyone.
Edit: I just noticed my levels - if only I had them in right order, my OCD would be satisfied. OR. If levels were displayed in alphabetical (in terms of class names) order - I would be in total peace and harmony. (I mean: engineer - 21, gunner - 14, pilot - 7 AW YISSS). Sorry. I really need some sleep.
