I don't know what is more disturbing to me personally, whether they would rather have a dictator or the state controlling things. If this is how they want to live that is fine with me; however, I don't ever want to live under that kind of a system. I have a friend who lived in the Ukraine for a while and he said people didn't like to work, they liked to sit back and have things given to them. That's why the USSR went broke, nobody would work and everybody wanted to be hand fed. The laziness is bred into them and the majority do not have another way of looking at things. Communism, which fell 20 years ago to the month, has instilled in these people this type of attitude, and current propaganda from Putin and his government keep it there. I don't blame the people I blame the officials and bureaucrats who have indoctrinated the people with these principles.
