The headline, "Russia invades Crimea," was at the top of this morning's newspaper.

The moment I read this, all at once, I felt as if I had been transported back in time.

"Tiananmen Square Death Toll Rises to Thousands."

At the time, I was a student living in a student dormitory, and I read the articles in the newspaper with fury.

-----

By the way, at that time, I was being organized by a leftist group (I forgot the name) that was affiliated with Mao Zedong's ideology, but I didn't like the idea of a (political) movement in a clique.

I was a self-proclaimed "solo activist" who said, "If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it alone," and in addition, I rarely did political campaigns.

I even did a couple of agitations on the university campus when I was a dormitory director.

Even the police and public security were completely unaware of our existence.

Incidentally, after the Tiananmen Square incident, I was no longer approached by that organization.

-----

As a person who had spent a month wandering around mainland China before this incident, I thought that this incident, in which unarmed students were killed and wounded in volley firing, was 'absolutely unacceptable'.

And I was agitating against the arrogance of the Chinese Communist Party -- to the elementary (upper grade) students at the cram school.

In addition, at the end, I reminded the children, "Don't tell anyone about this, especially your parents.

I think I was "poor" and "incompetence" myself.

But that's beside the point.

I have a lot of thoughts about this "Russian invasion of Crimea" incident (for example, Advance? Invasion? etc.)

Anyway, what I did was to reserve "Materials on the Russian Army" at the city library.

At any rate, I thought I'd try to get a rough understanding of the (historical) background and figures of this case.

If this action is "conservative" -- I think I am becoming more and more "conservative" in a scheduled way as I age.
