"Your crises again," you will say. Only the lazy do not talk about difficulties today. First there were sanctions. Then - isolation and the transition to remote work. A little later - a new package of sanctions. And then - you yourself know what happened a year and a half ago.
Why review them? Sometimes it helps to realize that it's not only you who can have everything destroyed. The only question is what you will do about it. Or not =)
