I fail to understand why some ethnic Russians want so desperately some additional square kilometers of land when the nation is dying. This is really impossible to understand. I hope nationalist feelings will grow, not "patriotic". To be a patriot of modern Russia equals to be anti-Russian in ethnic sense, actually, because current Russian constitution even doesn't recognize Russians as a nation.

In the case of Tatarinov, it's easy to understand. He is, obviously, judging by his surname, doomed to be cosmopolite and patriot, not nationalist.
