The Russians are using the same tactics they applied in the Baltic Nations in the 1940s. These are my grandmother’s stories all over again , except now even worse.
I don't know if it's worse. 99% of the Circassians were killed by the Russians and millions in Kazakhstan. We can see it now, and we talk about it, which is good. So many of my friends tell me stories of their grandparents and parents under occupation. I'll be re-publishing a great article that has come out about Russia's imperialist/colonialist history which they have never stepped away from.
wake up folks It seems to me that you are listing tiny bits of what has happened over the decades, centuries. Hitler learned torture from Stalin and no one here can tell me that the Second World War (and I like its lesser known stories) was less cruel than what is happening now. let's be honest, what I've written before - The further east, the crueler, the Ukrainians were attacked, but they don't owe anything when it comes to treating the Russians, besides, as far as I remember, there was no situation that the Wermacht, less, but the Gestapo or the SS "let it go" to civilians. The intimidation of civilians was to keep them in line. Russians, on the occasion of bombing, yes, they kill civilians, there will always be idiots and psychopaths (as in Afghan) who will start shooting at civilians - see "Platoon" Olivier Stone ... nerves let go ... drugs go down ... if Putin pushed the former prisoners and female prisoners, what would you expect? Once a very indignant BBC reporter almost cried that over 100 Ukrainians with children were imprisoned by the Russians with buckets instead of toilets for a month in some basement or shelter? Reminds me of such a fight for ... war, just to imprison civilians??!! Monique You are a correspondent right? I remember well? NYT?
I follow closely the fate of the captured Russians - young guys around 18... add to this the fear and adrenaline plus the drugs they were stuffed with... and they never returned home after they were taken prisoner!! !! Unless, by way of exchanges, very few did anyway. In general, you don't write anything about gulags, camps, Siberia far apart, close to Alaska.. About how, for months, both Russians and Germans transported people in cattle cars. The tortures that were used by the Germans and the Gestapo during the Second World War were incomparable to those ... to what is happening now in Ukraine. I know a doctor who studied medicine in Moscow, worked in quarries for 17 years, somewhere in Russia because? started practicing acupuncture, now, well, I never got over the trauma, he did. As far as Ukraine is concerned, now there is such an explanation that "they had to" fight during the Second World War. But Poles, mainly women and children, not with bullets, but with axes and fire, near the border, in Poland until the 1950-ties. In general, Tatars have always been stationed in Ukraine. Sobiesky (King of Poland) defeated them near Vienna around the 16th century, if I'm not mistaken, I write off the top of my head, they hoped forever, near Vienna. They "reborn" near Ukraine, that is where they have been living for centuries.
p.s. by the oasis, the army is always the most to blame, read 08/15, Factory of officers, The Ship, King of rats, Red Line. etc etc.. these are in general about the psyche of humans., etc... I see that everyone blames the most not so guilty as you think, ordinary people / children who were told to be soldiers and fight for some unknown reason
Zelensky? I wrote in today's post what I think about him. Monique you take out pieces of the history, with the whole respect :) :)
I only meant worse in that the actual machinery of war seems more brutal now, with more violent explosives and land mines and drones. My grandfather was taken to Siberia (from Latvia) in 1940, and even though eventually “freed”, was advised by authorities that he should not return to his homeland if he valued his health.
