A message from a Russian tired of being used.

Citizens of USA,

this is the first article of this paper where I'm not the author of the text. Instead this article is written by someone who loves his country and takes a big risk by speaking up against this war. The words comes from a Russian, and not any Russian:

I'll give you the Ataman of the migthy Cossacks, I'll give you the words of no one less than MoredanKantose.

You are reading the words of an e-citizen who gave his heart to the great country of eRussia.

I have seen some eRussians mocking on you since the war started, full of egomaniac pride about eRussia, and I want to show you that not all eRussians, not even all the patriotic and fighting eRussians, have the same opinion about this war and its consequences. I am the Commander of the Foreign Legion, comprising about a 30% of the eRussian Army and its 2nd most important elite corps. But I write this as Ataman (President) of The Cossacks, a patriotic party you can know better simply looking at the eRep wiki.

We disagree with the course of this war.

eRussia is being used. And some of us realize this, and don’t like it.

I am sorry for Sarah Palin 🙂 but I cannot regret the conquest of Alaska. It was Russian in RL, it was bought by the USA in the peak of power of the imperialism and a moment of weakness of Russia. It can serve as a security for eRussia and it is a reasonable price for the eUSA to pay for helping to wipe out our country as they did – those of you who remember history know that this is true, but I can quote the Government of the eUSA if you need. The eUSA did help eRomania to destroy completely eRussia, and I think that Alaska is a reasonable price for this.

But… trying to destroy the whole eUSA? Entering in Manitoba, Washington, Idaho? Attacking Canada? Are we doing this by ourselves, or are we puppets of PEACE? Considering that the revenge of the brave American people, if it comes, will be against eRussia, and considering that our own Motherland is occupied still by PEACE… considering that we know how it feels to be occupied and destroyed (the eUSA and eRomania made us learn this bitter lesson) and we do not wish this to anybody else… I do not think that we are doing the right thing.

A war? Ok. Some brave battles and then shaking hands and returning each other’s Motherland? It is reasonable. War can be fun, after all, in this eWorld. But… destroying the efforts of thousands of players, important hospitals and defense systems, breaking their hearts? For… what?

And this, of course, supposing that we win! FORTIS and EDEN are strong alliances, with brave people. We could lose. And the first ones to pay the price would be eRussia.

I fight in Idaho and I ask myself what the hell I am doing here. For sure not defending the best interests of eRussia, nor defending justice or a good cause. I am doing it because it is my duty. As a soldier and Commander, I will do my duty the best I can, respecting my enemy but not underestimating him, nor mocking at him, nor trying to humiliate him.

As Ataman, I can ad😛 This is wrong. Help us to stop it.

What can you do? You can speak with your Government. The eUSA should re-open the embassy of eRussia. The other Governments should write public declarations offering eRussia the best possible deal. And we will, in eRussia, try to convince our Government to rethink their position and at the very least demand a real compensation from eHungary and eIndonesia… or let their Goverments “show their real colors”.

Because we love our Motherland, and we understand that you all love yours.

Best regards.

MoredanKantose
Ataman of The Cossacks
