That's kinda the whole point of this bullshit. Russia's entire history is "things go bad? find an enemy and attack them." This distracts the populace and makes the ruler (at least theoretically) look "strong". This is why "war" is the answer to almost any problem in Russia. For Nicholas II this didn't work out though, when he attacked Japan hoping for a quick victory, but ended up losing and exacerbating problems at home, which then led to the collapse of Russia.

Spotify is easy to crack though, I enjoy free adless experience
You guys actually paying for Spotify?
I used to. But in the later years I found it very difficult to carry this much weight. In addition to that, I've realized the transient nature of my music tastes and my over-reliance on music. Also my priorities have changed a lot. Music is far from essential for survival, and when the times get rough (when you move a lot, and all you can take with you is your laptop), it's much easier to access an online library than your own physical one. I've decided to keep the mp3s (m4as, wavs, flacs, etc.) of the songs that aren't on Spotify and remove everything else.
I prefer to think of Tux as one of those huge albino penguins from At the Mountains of Madness
And I'm stupid enough to be honest when applying for a job 😓
I mean, do you expect them to go to every country in the world?
Russia has been doing and undoing itself the whole history. Meanwhile, who suffers? The minorities. You could compile a list of cultures they destroyed across Siberia, the Pontic Steppe and the Caucasus. And this process is still ongoing.
