For over two decades, Russia under President Putin has risen up from the horrible status the dismemberment of the USSR left it in but that was not solely with Russia's own efforts, if it was not for Syria and in particular, for Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad rejection of the Western traps to isolate Russia when it was in its weakest status, and withstanding the enormous pressure with massive sacrifices by the Syrian people, Russia might have been dismembered further into many more republics.
How Russia, especially the Russian presidency under Mr. Putin, paid back Syria or at least stood by Syria when Syria was attacked, and mostly because it refused to isolate Russia, is a cause of shame that will forever stain the views of the Syrian people and many across the planet on Russia.
Russia turned from a leading light of hope supporting countries in the face of Western imperialism into a backstabber, and seller of those same allies who trusted the country with the rich history which was invaded and betrayed by its 'Western partners' repeatedly, turned under the Zionist-leaning Chabad Lubavitch control into an example of betrayal from Iraq to Libya, Venezuela, Syria, and now Iran, also remembering Cuba, and even the people of the Donbas in Ukraine, no good examples.
However, this is a plea to whatever decency is left in the Russian leadership to do the right thing and like how they sold out Syria for cheap to Turkey and for free to Israel, at least save the Syrian officials persecuted by those same terrorists Mr. Putin wanted to 'combat in Syria rather on the streets of Moscow or St. Petersberg' as he justified Russia's interference in Syria in late September 2015.
You might think the criticism of Russia in the Petition I wrote is a bit harsh, trust me, it's not even scratching the surface of the betrayal the Syrian people are feeling, who not only lost hundreds of thousands of their relatives, had their coutnry destroyed, and millions maimed and displaced in the 13.5 years of war against the same terrorists that Mr. Putin wanted to combat, they continue to face persecution and massacres on daily basis.
The Petition, should you feel humane and help spread, hoping it'll reach Mr. Putin eventually and not too late: A Petition to Russian President Putin Regarding Syria.
Your objective comments are always welcome.
