      Russophiles like to put on a nationalist mask. Everything they talk about is belief based, they ignore any logic and just believe they are right. Everything that is posted on Facebook is true in their eyes. (there is a huge disinformation campaign ongoing atm)

        Also in their eyes current day Russia is the continuation of the old day sovjet union, which is not completely false, and their (remaining) positive feelings toward to SU colour their view of the current day Russia. It’s not only because of new (though not necessarily true) information they like Russia.

    Bulgaria has a sovereign currency. Why should they want to give that up? Honest question.
