🧠 Intro: One server burns — and the nation freezes

"Kind Russians" — that phrase recently went viral after a video surfaced showing an elderly Russian man scolding an aggressive migrant. Behind that emotional clip lies a much deeper concern: Russia's growing migrant influx is no longer just a social issue — it's becoming a matter of national security.

A silent room. Two presidents. No dramatic speeches, no political theater. Just a calm exchange and one sentence that turned history on its axis.
