In Russia, Ukraine Crisis Is U.S.'S Fault:

After pro-Russia forces entered Crimea this year, many of my American friends were aghast and worried that the situation might escalate. But in Russia, where I grew up, its an alternate universe.

.

My friends and family are outraged at those who oppose the intrusion. Instead of being appalled by the violence threatening Ukraines sovereignty, they are irate about Western critiques of President Vladimir Putin and his policies. Every time I post something supporting Ukraine on Facebook, such as a recent article about members of pro-Russia forces attacking opposition leaders in Crimea, my Russian friends lash out, calling me brainwashed. One of them, a former reporter for a Moscow news agency, asked me why I didnt recognize Americas influence in the Ukrainian crisis.

.

The reporter friend, whose news agency recently has been reshaped into a state-controlled media outlet, told me Putin just wants to protect Russians in Ukraine.

.

Phone calls to home end up in fights and tears when we touch on politics. During a recent chat, a relative who lives in a small town near the Russian-Ukrainian border fired back at me: Your president tries to set the whole world against Putin. Who is Obama, the czar of the world?

.

In normal times, my family and friends are rational, thoughtful people who bemoan the usual list of Russias shortcomings: the sluggish economy, chronic corruption and a Kremlin leadership that is alternately ineffectual and heavy handed.
