A Christmas Carol: The Russians are upset...

 

The Russians are upset with my recent blogs, as evidenced in the two lists provided above. The first list highlights the 15 countries that most frequently visited in my inaugural blog. Accumulating one million visits between the end of 2019 and the conclusion of 2021, this blog was subsequently discontinued. I elaborated on this discontinuation in a recent discussion, accessible here https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2023/11/vital-moreira-versus-pacheco-torgal.html

The second list pertains to my posts on two new blogs. A comparative analysis indicates that visitors from four countries—Sweden, Ukraine, Brazil, and Russia—no longer hold positions in the Top 15. Specifically, Sweden has dropped to the 21st position, Brazil to the 22nd, Ukraine to the 27th, and Russia to the 36th position. Fortunately, the recently incorporated countries in the Top 15, taking the place of the four that departed, not only contribute substantively but also bring considerable influence to my new blogs.

Concerning the reasons behind the dwindling visits from the initial four countries, I am unable to pinpoint a specific explanatory factor. In the case of Russia, it is reasonable to assume they may not appreciate the multitude of critical and abrasive posts about Bloodymir Putin. For instance,  in the concluding section of one post, I suggested that Russia's future might echo times when Russian teachers were remunerated with bottles of vodka https://pachecotorgal.com/2022/10/31/putin-and-irony-will-turn-russia-into-a-beggar-country-again/

Or in the post following the Latin tradition of "castigat ridendo mores", which provided a critique of the immature, illogical, and outright fanciful justifications offered in favor of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. https://pachecotorgal.com/2022/03/11/the-genius-behind-the-curtain/

Another noteworthy example is from December 2022, addressing Chinese visitors, wherein I questioned how much longer they could endure the unbearable offense committed by Russia against their country https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2022/12/how-much-longer-will-china-endure-theft.html

PS -  The undeniable evidence that the Chinese nation has not only retained the memory but remains steadfast in its commitment to addressing the treacherous theft of its sovereign territory by Russia is vividly presented at the Aihui History Museum (entry is prohibited for Russian visitors) which features a compelling 69-meter-long panoramic painting portraying Cossacks raping (Chinese) women https://19-pacheco-torgal-19.blogspot.com/2023/02/a-museum-with-69-metre-long-panoramic.html
