We Were Heroes of the 90s

That may be surprising to many why I, who is from Russia, oppose Russia and its government and support Russian enemies. There are many reasons for that. 

One and the most obvious is the fact Putin's Eurasian oppression and censorship is obviously worse than European freedom and affluence. I want that freedom and affluence and support the side that provides it not the side who asks to "sacrifice for motherland".

There is also the fact that in Russian school and uni classmates treated me poorly and I want revenge.

However, there is another a more personal reason that few people know about. I was too young then, but my uncle and many friends of my family were successful businesspeople back in 90s. They build modern Russia out of broken bankrupt rubble that CPSU left behind at the end of their rule over USSR. They did not it for free and out of patriotism but out of desire for prosperity. Back in 90s we made a lot of money, had expensive homes, cars, 5 star vacations and enjoyed life to the fullest. I miss that a lot.

That all came to an end when Putin and his gang came to power. Putin stole businesses, jailed or drove into exile many of the people who build the 90s. People I knew personally were not as public as Gusinskiy, Khodorkovsky or Berezovskiy, but that affected us as well. We lost a lot of wealth and status. I also lost contact with many of the best people from those times. Wealth that we build in 90s was stolen from us by a dwarf exKGB thief.

Despite being nothing more than a exKGB thief, Putin labelled many of my relatives and friends "bandits of the 90s" and brainwashed the country and the world into hating us. How he is reaping benefits and taking credit for what people like my uncle and family friends did in 90s as we are scattered and suppressed. Many of us are literally dead like Berezovskiy.

I do want revenge against exKGB dwarf and his KGB bandits for destroying my life and depriving me of my birthright wealth and status. 

I still ponder over my own parents' role in all that. It puzzles me to no end that they do not hate exKGB dwarf and do not want revenge on him. Why did they not keep contact with the best of our friends? Were they KGB agents or KGB infiltrators/stooges? Did KGB killed them and replaced them with lookalikes? These are all mysteries I cannot find answers to.
