I'm russian and I want to be friends.
Reading this subreddit and Estonia subreddit I see so much contempt and even hatred toward Russia, but as citizen of St.Petersburg I want to say, many of my friends didn't want anything bad for our neighbors. We want to live in peace and harmony. We want to go to your country, to learn your culture, to see the beauty of your nature which so common to ours. Russian people (at least majority of people that I know) are not hostile and not share the madness that our government project in the outside. I'm sorry English isn't my first language, and didn't know Finnish. All I want to say, that we didn't want this war, didn't want to antagonize our neighbors, but we scared to go against our government, we have families to take care of, we can't go to 15 years in prison.
