Jeff Monson: Russians, stop feeling flawed!
Who has not heard of Jeff Monson? All federal television channels trumpeted about an American fighter who received a Russian passport and stayed in our country.
Later it became known that, unlike most of such migrants, he did not behave quietly and calmly, but took an active position and even ran for deputy. However, he did not cease to be an American, so he looks at Russia a little from the side. A view from the side sometimes gives a more accurate and correct representation than from the inside.
Despite the fact that Jeff decided to become a Russian, and maybe that's why, he not only admires Russia and the Russians, but also sees our weaknesses and speaks about them publicly.
Russia and Donbass - expectations and reality
When Monson first arrived in Russia, he noticed a discrepancy between what he was told on television and friends in America, and what he saw with his own eyes. Of course, he did not believe propaganda too much; he was simply angry at this sharp discrepancy. Other Americans, coming to Russia, were surprised that there are wonderful people here, which is quite safe and comfortable here.
Jeff was not too lazy to go to the Donbass. He visited Donetsk and Lugansk, made sure that Ukrainian troops drop bombs on these beautiful cities and their wonderful inhabitants. And after that, returning to the United States by plane, he read the American press, which talked about Russian aggression in the Donbass, about the fact that devastation was going on there, a complete lack of order and statehood.
Monson was surprised at these claims of people who had never been to Donetsk and Lugansk, unlike him, who had recently arrived from there. Why are they lying? Indeed, others, those who were not in the Donbass, believe in all this. And that makes him very angry, as any normal person would have angered him in his place.
Russia is changing for the better
Jeff Monson believes that the Russians should be grateful to Barack Obama, who saved their country from the swamp where it almost ended up. Thanks policy sanctions that America began to impose against Russia under Obama, our country came out of hibernation and began to develop.
Russia is too dependent on oil and gas, on world prices for these resources. Now that prices have fallen and sanctions have been imposed on the Russians, one has to look for a way out of this situation. And this is a great blessing for our country. The rise of agriculture and the development of industrial enterprises began. If not for America, it is not known how much Russia would continue to sleep.
Of course, sanctions are an unpleasant thing. But for Russia, they have become a bitter medicine that is unpleasant to drink, but which helps to recover. Jeff considers it insane that such a huge country with such abundant resources buys so many products abroad without producing it at home. He believes that with its natural wealth, vast territories and human resources, it is Russia that should become the world industrial leader, and not China or the United States at all.
Russian inferiority
Jeff Monson considers Russians to be very proud people. We constantly prove our worth to the whole world. Moreover, the whole world does not know this and looks down at us. And we are not like that, so we continue to tell everyone that we are very cool, and everything is wonderful with us.
Monson believes that this is because the Russians feel that they are inferior to the West and are constantly trying to prove the opposite. And this terribly enrages the American who decided to become Russian. He does not understand why external illusory reasons make Russians feel inferior. This proud people deep down believes that the whole world is looking down at it.
Sometimes this inferiority complex develops into a megalomania when the Russians begin for some reason to consider themselves better than all other peoples of the world. And this is also wrong.
Monson is all annoyed for one simple reason. He wholeheartedly loved our country and began to feel Russian here. He became a patriot who wishes happiness to his country.
He believes that it would be useful for the Russians to visit America. Indeed, ordinary Americans are kind and hospitable people. And the Russians would broaden their horizons and look at the world from a different perspective. Jeff loves America, but he prefers to live in Russia.

Unlike most of these eminent migrants who came to Russia from various Western countries, Monson not only lives here, but also tries to change our country for the better. He believes that the people who surrounded him before gave a lot to him, so he also has to do something good for others, thus repaying this debt.
First, he opened a free martial arts school for children in Russia, but this seemed to him not enough. Living in our country, he saw many problems that ordinary Russians face in everyday life. This caring person thought that, becoming a deputy, he could help people solve these problems.
Now he, being a deputy in the city of Krasnogorsk near Moscow, has the opportunity to make the lives of people around him a little better. And he continues to work with children.
Now he has plunged headlong into the problems of people left homeless, children with cancer. He is trying to make life better. Jeff believes that in this way he repays his debt to the people who helped him in his life, and to the country that became his second Motherland.
