Unhappy thoughts abound

I am Circassian, but my country was overrun by the Russians over one hundred and fifty years ago, before the Soviet Revolution. I would be called Russian by many! Except, I was raised in Ukraine, which the Russians are now seeking to colonize again after they reduce the ethnic Ukrainians to almost none, in another of their genocides. I have fled Ukraine with my parents, but my brother is there fighting, so are the husbands of two of my sisters. But it is so sad, those husbands are Circassians too!
