In the period, which ended together With the start of a pandemic coronavirus, Russia was the unique country, which incessantly demanded billions of dollars in reparations, compensation, and public repentance With a return of territories And sprinkling ashes on the head. You can easily recall the appeals And Even demands to pay And repent for the 2nd world war for the German victims of the red army, over the "partition of Poland" for " famine ", for the Crimea, for Boeing, the Kuril Islands, "the use of weapons of mass destruction on British territory "(i.e. "case Skripal" ), for the Yukos case for global warming (because of the Russian oil And gas), for "Northern stream" in the Donbass, as well as for interference in elections And referendums held in the US, UK, Montenegro, Madagascar And so on.
