Spirit remains in them, no matter what country they are in. And the most interesting thing is that even in another country, they don’t fall under the influence of a foreign Spirit — they are still connected to their own. You see, even territory might not influence but still leave a trace. Travel always leaves something behind — people, changes in housing, changes in countries leave a certain imprint. But most often they leave... You know, one can absorb only the good and not let the bad near. And from all countries and travels, and relocations, you can gather all the good. That’s also interesting. But you have to know some kind of boundaries of normality. Figuratively speaking, I remember when I finished school, classmates — graduates — went traveling around Europe, and I also traveled around Europe. I had been to Amsterdam many times, they had been to Amsterdam many times, but we were in different groups. And they had this association that if you go there, and there those forbidden things are allowed — all that unclear stuff, what they smoke — they believe that means you can and should do the same, and they chase after it. But me, you see, being in another country doesn’t mean that it’s allowed. I’m Russian — it’s not allowed for me. What difference does it make that I changed countries, you see? Well, changed in the sense that I’m traveling, I’m in another country now. But for many people who are weak in Spirit, they immediately come under the influence — “oh, in this country you can wear a dress.” Wait, you’re a Russian man — what dress? What difference does it make that it’s allowed here — who are you? And that’s how everyone falls under the influence. But most of all, of course, what influenced this kind of chaos is social media and all this basic social information — these media outlets, social networks, television. Through what does propaganda spread? It’s actually frightening now. I mean, imagine, many of my peers now have children. They didn’t live through the time I was born into, they didn’t see when everything was still orderly, when all the animals, so to speak, were each in their own cage. They were born and now live in a world where, if they turn on some modern series or film, it’s already normal that Santa Claus is not white, and it’s unclear whether it’s a man or a woman. And the words are strange, and all the propaganda is strange. But they watch this, and they’ll come to think it’s normal. And then they’ll also see that, for example, in Russia, in my country, this doesn’t exist, but they’ve seen it in the internet, in films, and they want it, and so they want to go somewhere else. And on the one hand,
