...so it's GOOD to be subjugated?

Just to play devil's advocate, how is that ritual of welcoming an official significantly different to kids preparing for a visit from the queen of England, or the potus?

I get that they're welcoming the representative of a state/person many of their parents fought against, but that's hardly unusual, and to me didn't seem the focus of the piece.

(full disclosure: I have Russian relatives very near there, and have visited the area seveal times)
