“Famine will come in Russia in the spring, in Russia the Internet is on coupons, in Russia oil is running out.”
It’s hard to believe in it, but this is how many people in Ukraine think about us today, or rather, they talk about our country this way Ukrainian media. Why is there so much demand for “crooked mirrors” in Ukraine today, and who benefits from it? We'll talk about this in this article.
A year ago, Russians for Ukrainians were almost relatives, if they made fun of their big brother, then in a kind way. It took only a few months and one big Euromaidan to destroy this age-old friendship of fraternal peoples. The Russians have turned into “damned Muscovites”, “quilted jackets”, “Rushists” and “Colorados”, and Russia has become their number one enemy, which prevents Ukraine from intermarrying with Europe. Ukrainians are now literally from the cradle sets up their children against Russia. The younger generation is brought up on cartoons, where Russia is presented as a hero who sits back, drinks alcohol with friends, lives his life in vain, but at some point he acquires the main meaning of his life - “war with Ukraine”. On the Internet, Ukraine is now an information war against Russia, where they have all the means are good. Many Ukrainians, especially Western ones, have not been to Russia for so long that they firmly believe in what they are shown on television, and they say that Russia lives like Honduras. According to the Ukrainian media, the Russian people live in terrible conditions. The average Russian lives in a hut with outdoor facilities. There is no water in the apartments either, so they wash clothes in buckets. With such a life, Russian people have only one joy - moonshine, according to Ukrainians, you can get it in any Russian family. It turns out that there are no shops or gas stations in Russia, and you can get a job only in Moscow. If you believe the Ukrainian media, the Russians will soon begin to die of hunger. Because of the sanctions in our country, there is literally nothing to eat, having grown thin without Polish apples, according to Ukrainians, we go shopping to Poland and Finland. But worst of all, according to Ukrainians, the situation is now in the Russian Crimea. All conscious citizens of Ukraine left there. From the leading news agencies of Ukraine, Ukrainians receive fictitious, fake news. At the same time, it is believed that the journalists did it consciously, that is, they knew that they were sharing false information with the public. Some experts say that to zombie the population of Ukraine today is as easy as shelling pears.
You can tell any fables and fairy tales about Russia, despite the close proximity, many Ukrainians have not been in our country since 1991. After the collapse of the USSR, the standard of living in Ukraine began to gradually decline, and Ukrainians could not afford any trips beyond their native village. This hatred of Russia has led Ukrainians to cross out everything that has connected these two countries for centuries. Judging by the mood of the Ukrainians, the Russians are no longer their brothers. Unfortunately, Ukraine still cannot understand who it is - a great Slavic state or a state without a past, with an incomprehensible Nazi present and a dubious European future. One can only hope that despite the information war and all attempts to quarrel Ukraine with Russia, we will still remain fraternal peoples. And we will remember this page of our history as a nightmare.

Olga Nemirovskaya, future lawyer (Russia-Ukraine)
Two years ago I decided to enter a Kyiv university and now I am studying here. Firstly, it is cheaper than in Moscow. Secondly, here I have relatives and friends who can support me. Thirdly, I wanted new experiences, new places and new discoveries. And Kyiv did not let me down in this respect. This is beauty, and antiquity, and the same dynamism as in other megacities! To my compatriots who are thinking about studying in Ukraine, I want to say that I study here in Russian and communicate in Russian. And Ukrainian is very close and understandable, I can even speak a little. This is great!

Wu Li, Manager (PRC-Ukraine)
This year I graduated from one of the Kyiv universities and received a diploma. Now I am doing an internship in one of the international travel companies operating in Ukraine. In the future, I plan to do business with one of the Chinese companies in the Ukrainian market. For this, I have the necessary knowledge, and cooperation between our countries is now intensifying. Besides, now I have many good friends here. I want to warn my compatriots who are planning to come to Ukraine that winters here are the same as in the northern provinces of China. Therefore, do not forget to take warm clothes with you, but in houses it is much warmer.

Vishal Ratnakar, theoretical physicist (India-Ukraine)
In 1991 I graduated from Kharkov State University. The Kharkov school of theoretical physics was known all over the world. Now I work as a consulting engineer in an international company. Knowledge of the Ukrainian mentality and the skills acquired at the university to quickly master any topic help me a lot in my current job. I strongly recommend that my compatriots who are going to study here learn that the front passenger seat in the car is on the right side here. Everything else is easier to learn.

In 2011 I graduated from the Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas. Now I work as a design engineer in Kazakhstan. About the university, I will say that I liked it!

A separate group has been created for foreigners where the first semester is taught in Russian, which helps a lot to get used to the level of education and student life in general)) I also want to note a good sports complex, where all the teachers are masters of sports, each training is like preparing for the Olympic Games))

Oksana Prialina (Moscow)
When I studied at the Academy of the Customs Service of Ukraine, it was just being formed, we were trained to teach future specialists in this field. Now everything is completely different there. But even then, education was given at a fairly good level. The main thing that a university should give is the ability to think logically and structured, be able to search for information and quickly master new work skills. This Academy gave us. And also - a huge circle of acquaintances. You never know which person will help you tomorrow, and which of your friends you can help. It is wonderful.
