It looks like you are the victim of some scapegoating discourse - it's very easy for corrupt politicians and other malicious interest groups to divert the public's attention from the real issues by turning some minority or loosely defined external force into "the enemy/the source of all our problems". Here in Bulgaria, every public problem is either due to Russia's evil influence, or the US's evil influence, or the gypsies or the Turkish minority, or even sometimes the EU, but somehow the problems never seem to be caused by institutionalized corruption on a massive scale. Of course, we - the citizens - are also to blame for letting our government fall into the hands of private interests... Sadly, we haven't yet found a way to move forward like the Estonians.
