The America we came to is no more

An immigrant from the USSR addressing Americans.

To be honest, I never thought I would see this beautiful country, America, that became my new home and thus “my America” – in a situation like today. Unprecedented censorship, which has become the new normal in just a few months. Centralization of the media. The destruction of independent and objective journalism. A painful separation between friends and family, colleagues, and partners. Taxpayers’ money continuously sent into the black holes of endless wars with impunity. A frightening agenda to destroy the notion of the family as such. A complete lack of accountability and responsibility at all levels. Repressions against political opponents. Crimes, serious ones, including, murder, recidivist robbery and theft are justified and go unpunished.

I’ve seen it all where I was born and raised – in the Soviet Union. In my darkest nightmares, I would never have expected the human civilization’s ultimate and unsurpassed symbol of freedom to so easily and simply let go of these freedoms. But not only let go.

Even in the oppressive USSR, boys were, nevertheless, boys, and girls were still girls. Undoubtedly, there are some who may feel they are different from the gender “assigned at birth” (what a way to address the given fact of birth). However, public schools should not push anyone towards any decisions. And what’s with remembering what a woman is? No, you do not have to be a biologist to define a man from a woman. It is quite simple, actually. Those are flash cards shown to in the Wake County (North Carolina) kindergarten students. So, is it just me who is terrified of the “men can get pregnant” surreal concept? Wait a second. At what spot of the man’s body, such biological processes as conceiving/pregnancy/abortion may occur? Stomach? Intestine? Prostate? Absurd. Well, then, obviously, it is clear, only a transgender woman (the first officially pregnant transgender – Thomas Beaty) can get pregnant. Thus, it is the female uterus that becomes pregnant, and the abortion is done from the female uterus. But the nonsense is cultivated, repeated on leftist channels, in the Senate and the House… And… is also becoming the norm. Nevertheless, we do realize, this “absurd” is one of the tactics to achieve the real goal: for girls to transit into boys who will never become pregnant and will not increase population under the Gaits-Schwab WEF plan.

Even in the oppressive USSR, school education was free from sexualization (meaning it was strictly prohibited). In fact, education (borrowed in the late 40s from Germany and France) was extremely well structured, providing us with critical thinking as well as personal and social responsibility. Did it fail? I think not. We remember ourselves at the age of 9–10 independently jumping into trolleybuses, buses, trams, and the metro, paying for travel and knowing our stops. In our backpacks and on our necks were jingling apartments keys. We were able to open doors ourselves. We were able to pan-fry potatoes or just warm up dinner. There could be no question of incomplete homework, while truancy was equated to moderately severe crimes and was dealt with at class meetings in the whole demos’ presence.

By the way, there was that undeniable moment of constant awareness in these public settings, which was annoying, of course, but also discipline inducing. Like in American football – all touchdowns are visible from a bird’s eye view. What do potatoes, trams and homework have to do with responsibility? Well, that is exactly the very personal responsibility and independence that should be engendered in children. Our children here are raised in a disproportionately extended childhood being constantly supervised, picked up, chick-fileted, observed, over-managed, while many of them are under-performing academically. Their basic knowledge is questionable. Grade 6^th students rarely know which city is the capital of France, the location of the Red Sea, or can they define a difference between continent and mainland.

However, courses in sexuality and trans-genderism take the spotlight and focus in the curriculum. The process is explained in detail and from all angles. The younger generation of Christian America is enthusiastically studying in public schools the variants of intercourse, which clearly go against the biblical concepts of “reproduction”.

In the communistic USSR, we had to memorize the table of multiplying ten by ten by the end of the first grade. And, of course, we had to read fluently. We recited poems by heart from the age of five on stools and chairs: “We are not slaves; Slaves are not us.” Today, in North Carolina, depending on the county, 35–65% of middle and high school students cannot read and/or write according to state criteria. What?? How is that possible? After all, this is the XXI-st century, which, in theory, is still not only “Tik-Tok” and “snapchats”, but actually “smartboards”, limitless Internet resources and computer access. Likewise, our county (Mecklenburg) public schools’ budget is $1.9 billion (excluding additional grants — only from the county, city, and federals), which is $15,000 per student! But this budget, which is almost equal to the annual tuition fee in private schools, is not enough to teach cursive, the multiplication table to ten/fifteen/twenty, and fluent reading.

Even in the Cold War USSR, narcotics use was punishable by criminal law. It is with genuine horror that I learn today of heavy drugs (heroin and meth) being decriminalized in Oregon and California and becoming the number one cause of death for Americans aged 18–36. Does anyone care? Are you still comfortable? Is anyone bothered by drug addicts’ gatherings at school bus stops in San Francisco?

Frankly, my beloved America surpassed the Soviet Union in many ways. Are we just going to watch her fall? Do we understand that there is no other country like America in the world? The Trojan horse filled with ethnic and racial hatred, communism’s “equality” of being equally robbed, schools’ sexualization “freedom,” and the abolition of Judeo-Christian values is already here.

Did you know that some schools now offer seminars on the Satanism study as part of extracurricular activities? It’s totally open on YouTube. The head of Satanic sects Lucien Greaves explicitly states to Tucker Carson, he has the right to acquaint schoolchildren with the basics of Satan worship in accordance with the First Amendment. Greaves’ appearance was no coincidence. The day before, outraged parents protested outside Jane Addams Elementary School in Molina, Illinois (of course!) to fight back against Satan-worship after-school classes. So, as I write, I am asking the question – where do we actually live??

Did you know that many New Jersey schools have included “It’s Okay to Watch Porn” programs from second grade?.. Some parents even got involved in the “do we need to hush up sex?” game. What about multiplying, subtracting, and reading? Is that not normal anymore?

Approved on February 25, 2022, the bill on the sexualization of education in public schools clearly emphasizes sexual orientations rather than academics. Have we noticed the word “sex” being used way more than “love”? What happened to “making love”? In both English and Russian, “making love” has been supplanted and virtually destroyed by His almighty Exaggeration Sex, which has rapidly become a universal tool for behavioral control of young people and beyond. Older generations somehow do not even resist, probably in the effort to not “lag behind” modern trends. They are getting drawn into the general course of the American society decay, and… they lose.

I do not know about you, but I cannot stay indifferent and silent. Because I know worse. Both of my families lost everything to the Russian Revolution under “equal re-distribution”, a.k.a. government armed robbery and total confiscation. Total. Not just homes, land, horses, money, jewelry, swords, rifles. Total. Including bedding and furniture. Except books. Which were simply burned.

My grandfather on my father’s side, a colonel in the tsarist army, accepted the revolution with the enthusiasm of a Decembrist and was shot at the wall a few years later. The other was thrown into the GULAG in 1937. One of my grandmothers (the daughter of the vice-governor of Warsaw) died during the chaos of the Spanish flu that broke out after the First World War. Another, born in Nice and an Institute of Noble Maidens graduate, was labeled the “heiress of the oppressor” and forcibly appointed to work for the Soviet government. Of course, under the Gulag’s Damocles sword. I was baptized in the Lvov Russian Orthodox Church at the age of 27, because faith was banned in the Soviet Union, where hundreds of churches were burned, and thousands of priests were killed. Of course, the monuments were shattered; buildings were destroyed; museums were vandalized and looted; classical music was labeled a “bourgeois privilege” and consigned to oblivion for decades. Have we forgotten that? Or did we even noticed?

I see a black cloud of socialism and terror over my new home and its future. I see the “house on a shining hill” becoming the ruins of freedoms and dreams.

I see the unfolding of the most terrible version of all socialism – the digitized one, which will finally allow those in power to completely control us – the “gray mass”. Hard to believe? Let’s look at what is happening in China, where the social credit system is running at full capacity, expressed in full economic control based on the “right” actions. What a zoo horror the Covid lockdown turned out to be for the Chinese, locked in huge high-rise buildings and specially built infectious disease camps!

Chinese people still stand in daily queues for corona tests to be eligible to go to work; those who cannot stand the social nightmare throw themselves from balconies; access to money in the bank directly depends on the presence of an acupuncture moment. Are we so naïve to think that the DFL does not dream of such unconditional control in the United States? Or do we still have illusions about the existence of democracy?

Come on – many will say – not everything is so terrible, Tatyana. And that’s understandable. For some of you, all the above means little or nothing at all. You still have a comfortable life, a “Royal Princess ” ship to catch, tennis/golf/bridge to play, and “House of Gucci”/”Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”/”Top Gun” to watch. Your BMW/Cadillac/Camaro still has gasoline, and electricity still spins your Jacuzzi’s jets, juices up your Teslas, zombie-style TVs, and iPhones/Samsungs spying on you. You don’t have to do anything. All the small “things” will be taken care of… by whom? Oh, well, yeah. GO-VERN-MENT. That’s right. Of course. This is what corrupt officials do, sending your taxes in unknown directions, including drug distribution to the homeless, transgender propaganda in kindergartens and elementary schools, as well as teaching critical race theory and “educational programs for repeat offenders.” At all levels: from school boards and district deputies to POTUS. Let’s not forget the obligatory dogs and cats in lieu of children for our children, who are instructed not to give birth and create a family, but rather to work and stroll in special strollers four-legged kids, instead of two-legged once. Certainly, their votes will be conducted according to their liberal alma-maters’ suggestions.

But if you don’t feel comfortable, if you’re as concerned as I am, as a mother of four, a teacher and musician, 5’2” immigrant from the USSR, then it’s time. You know what to do. Red pill 101. Forward the article to friends and acquaintances. Call and write to senators and congressmen. Raise your voice. Become a candidate. If Omar from Minnesota (married to her own brother) could, if Lightfoot, the mayor of Chicago, could, so can you. Help your candidates. Do all you can. Become a volunteer and a poll observer. Host a fundraising for candidates. At least, teach your child to multiply ten by ten. Do something. We have nowhere to escape.
