Too Long; Didn't Read
This week my native country, nestled in a <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/remote-corner" target="_blank">remote corner</a> of the Earth about 500 miles from Santa’s village, celebrates 25 years since the restoration of its <a href="https://hackernoon.com/tagged/independence" target="_blank">independence</a>. 25 years since I stood by the road in my hometown, watching the Russian tanks leave. 25 years since actual food arrived in the stores. 25 years since I tasted yogurt for the very first time (it was strawberry yogurt, in case you were wondering). 25 years since the wall isolating us from the outside world collapsed and the terror started to fade.
