Reflections... Tomorrow in Russia will be an official holiday - "Independence Day of Russia." This is a very strange holiday. Russians still do not know how to treat him and his correct name. A few people understand what this holiday means, from whom or from which this independence? Most people have a negative attitude to this holiday and don't celebrate it. Many in Russia today is very sad mood. Recently, we have no democracy at all, it is impossible to say or write what you think. You can be fined. A fine may be as ten average salaries. A lot of injustice. Teachers, doctors and others who have a respectable profession receive very low salaries, which are almost impossible to survive. A very small pension. If you're an honest business, then a lot of money don't earn. The government has introduced a lot of unjust laws. I would like to change a lot in our country, but I do not know how.

My corrections:

Russians still do not know how to treat him and his correct name.

Russians still do not know how to treat it and it's correct name – beware of online translators which cannot get certain word genders correct. The word 'it' is masculine and is often mistaken for 'him'

from whom or from which this independence?

From who or from what this independence is? - In English the question words beginning as WH are as follows



Whom is asking about what or which person or people as an (object)

Who is asking about what or which person (Subject)



Which is asking about choice – example which drink would you like, tea or coffee?

What is asking about information about something – what is your name?



Many in Russia today is very sad mood – the word 'is refers to Russia as a whole and to be correct would read: Russia toady is in a very sad mood

Many in Russia today are in a very sad mood is what you are wanting to write



A fine may be as ten average salaries.

His can be written two ways this is just up to the writer to choose

  1. A fine can be as big as ten average salaries



or



  1. a fine can be ten times ( 10 x ) an average salary



If you're an honest business, then a lot of money don't earn.

If you run an honest business, then you will not make a lot of money


I read with interest your reflections and find it very sad the way you live compared to life in the west. I can feel your frustrations in your writing. i watched with interest the changes in russia over the years with hope for the future of the people of russia but politically it has been tried before,  what you want to achieve without success in the past. so like you  do not know what the answer or solution is. 


Я с интересом прочитал ваши размышления и найти его оченьпечально, как вы живете по сравнению с жизнью на Западе. Я могу чувствовать ваши разочарования в письменной форме. Яс интересом наблюдал перемены в России на протяжении многих лет с надеждой на будущее народов России, нополитически он был судим, что вы хотите достичь успеха, не в прошлом. так как вы не знаете, какой ответ или решение. Япризнаю, что я использовал онлайн-переводчик, чтобы попытаться сделать мои мысли немного легче для Вас, чтобычитать.

Just a comment. I had a Russian math teacher at university (in the '90s). She was one of the best teachers I have ever had. She made difficult things understandable, and also prepared extra study materials for us (in order to help us) when she didn't need to do that. After *all these years* (I'm feeling old.....), I still remember her name: Natalya. I remember sometimes she talked to us about her home country (Russia), and mentioned the economic situation for respectable professions like you said. It seems things haven't changed much since the '90s.
