It was quiet today, but last night I woke up from missile explosions, but immediately fell asleep again. As it turned out, the invaders fired three missiles into Kramatorsk, two were shot down in the air, and one fell into the city. Then the news came that the enemy had made some progress in our direction and now it is already between the villages of Brazhovka and Suligovka.
There came a time when the cannonade began to calm me down. I can already distinguish by ear when ours beat the occupiers. Judging by how it was heard yesterday, the fighting on the way to Slavyansk is desperate. The enemy is now somewhere near Svyatogorsk. I seem to have hurried to write that it is now quiet. Artillery is heard again, but this time far away, and it calms. After the footage from Bucha it is now clear to everyone that the occupiers will not only kill, but also torture. The mayor of Slavyansk called for the evacuation of children, women and the elderly first. I think the risk of shelling Slavyansk is significant, but still the city will still not be taken. Although, if the enemy manages to break through to Barvenkovo, our area will be the first under fire. However, in reality, everything is not that bad. An inadequate Fuhrer demands an immediate victory and forces the command to throw reserves into battle as soon as they are brought to Izyum. Thanks to this, the defenders of Slavyansk grind them piece by piece. Although they are in the minority, they fight more skillfully, and I trust them in this.
After the massacre in Bucha, people ask themselves: who was capable of this and is there any hope for a just retribution? If you work consistently, it is quite possible to identify all the participants of the massacre in Bucha and other Ukrainian cities. Here we must take into account that terror has been perpetrated in different forms by different groups.
1. Organized terror of the special services. Their task is to identify and destroy public figures, politicians or simply reputable people who offer moral resistance to the occupiers. In other words, to account for the financing and ensure promotion in service with the blood of people declared «Nazis». They could have refused a trip to Ukraine, so everyone is guilty of the massacre. It is quite possible to identify their names.
2. Mass Terror of the Russian Guard (Rosguardia). Since all the inhabitants of Ukraine are against the invaders, all of them can be declared "Nazis", grabbing absolutely anyone. So the organized terror of the special services is dissolved in the mass terror, which is done by the Russian Guards. They could also refuse to go to Ukraine, so they are just as guilty, and their lists can also be obtained.
3. The chaotic terror of bullies (gopniks). In the early 1990s, Russia was hit by a wave of rampant bullies. I hated them so much that I was ready for anything, so I really understand the feelings of those who crave for their death after the massacre in Bucha. Now, however, the Russian authorities use bullies to maintain a certain level of criminality, so that people fear and rely only on authoritarian power, which supposedly protects them. Any talk about a change of power immediately runs into fear of rampant crime. The occupiers deliberately decided to use bullies to intimidate Ukrainians, believing that in this way they would nip in the bud the possibility of protests, providing a picture of mass support of the population. The bullies drafted into the army were previously driven into a state of complete brutality, and then released on the people.
Of course, in war there are «excesses of the performer», when soldiers begin to commit atrocities spontaneously, but this is not the case. In Bucha, terror was chaotic, but directed from above. Of course, the command did not order the rape and murder of a 10-year-old girl, it was enough to give only an instruction that in case of a crime no witnesses should be left. This is indicated by the location of the people killed: in the center are the main victims of violence, and around those who could have been an accidental witness. Without instruction from above, the bullies would not have thought about witnesses at all.
It is also possible to identify among them those directly involved in the massacre. The looters themselves got spotted, sending parcels with loot to their homes. It is more difficult with the bullies, who were not engaged in looting, but in murders. However, these are such dim-witted people who can’t help but brag. Therefore, to determine exactly what they were doing in the occupied territories, it is enough to talk to their friends. Therefore, in order to establish exactly what they did in the occupied territories, it is enough to talk with their friends.
4. Total terror of the Wagnerites. PMC Wagner is an informal private armed group created for the dirtiest work - terror, torture, murder. There’s no crime the Wagnerians aren’t capable of. They are invited to Ukraine as professionals of their work - torture and murder.
There is a danger that the Wagnerites will be exchanged along with prisoners of war on the principle of “all for all”. However, the Wagnerites are not military men, but hired killers, mercenaries, and they should not be treated as prisoners of war, but as terrorists captured at the scene of a crime. In order to legally formalize the non-applicability of the Geneva Conventions to them in relation to prisoners of war, a court is needed to recognize PMCs Wagner as a terrorist organization in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Combating Terrorism”.
5. A separate group should include all ideologues and propagandists who have not directly killed but are also accomplices to the murders.
The driving force behind terror was the hatred engendered by the mutation of the imperial idea of land collection. In itself, this idea is not original. Its essence lies in the denial of the independent value of cultures and peoples that did not become part of Russia. However, in the new mutated version of the imperial idea, any country independent of Russia, which becomes civilized and free, is perceived as hostile and identified with metaphysical evil, subject to complete destruction. This leads to a picture of the world in which evil and good change places, and the mind and feelings of people dissolve in the combined cumulative energy of hatred.
Gopniks are not able to consciously follow an ideology, since their minds and souls are empty, but this emptiness is easily filled by hatred poured in from outside, which is very similar to being possessed by dark spirits. In such a “possessed” state, atrocities incomprehensible to a normal person are happening. When I was young, I read the novel Ulcer by Natalie Hennenberg, which describes the world of the future, when humanity was engulfed by an epidemic of this kind of obsession. In this novel, I felt exactly that atmosphere of obsession with irrational evil, which now runs rampant through the entire hierarchy from Putin to the last bully raping a child in Ukraine.
In this way, every war criminal can be identified, and their punishment is a matter of political will, which exists in Ukraine. Of course, Ukraine will win the war, which will lead to a change of power in Russia. But even in this case, the lifting of sanctions against Russia should not be allowed until the last war criminal is punished.
