Three things that surprised me:
– The cancer of Margarita Simonyan’s family;
– Fires in Siberia in 2025;
– Flood in Dagestan these days (in the photo).
Why: it’s one thing when Russians get a response from the specific actions of the Armed Forces, such as strikes on ports and oil depots. These are technical actions that we can implement if we have certain capabilities. If we have them – we will do it. It’s another thing when justice is brought by natural forces or fate, or karma, or God (as one may call it).
Many propagandists of the Nazi regime were brought to justice in the Nuremberg Trials. Listening at the time to what Simonyan and her late husband, as well as those Russian propagandists who are still alive and working to justifying aggression against Ukraine, I was shocked by the level of cynicism. Unfortunately, I have doubts about any trials against them. I have doubts about the trials against Putin himself. There is no declared war = there will be no official end to it = there will be no official reparations = there will be no Nuremberg-type processes over Russian murderers. Most likely, yes. We will reach some, strike at some, and some are punished by life and nature itself. But it’s more of a miracle and coincidence.
After the Russians blew up the Kakhovka dam, it became known about dozens of killed Ukrainians, but the true numbers may never be known because a large part of the crimes remained in the occupied part of Kherson. A large number of victims remained there as well. Russians have time to clean up the consequences, bury the bones, level the crime sites. Now, when I come across videos from Dagestan, where water washes away houses and cars with civilians, and in the background there’s a call for sympathy – well, what’s this about? Why pretend to be victims?
Belgorod children take part in dance festivals, accompanying their performance with footage from Belgorod related to the war. To show their realities? To seek sympathy? Many Russians still do not know that Belgorod is part of Russia, by the way. They don’t care.
The same question: who started this? And who are you blaming?
We will not be able to punish all the guilty. For Bucha, Kherson, Sumy, Kharkiv, Odesa, Kyiv and all other cities, where our people, our children burned alive, drowned in the artificially created floods by the Russians, slowly or quickly ended their lives in darkness and cold under the ruins of houses, on playgrounds, etc. Hands tied behind their bodies, electrocuted bodies, cut-off fingers and genitals, bullets to the back of the head – this surreal and real horror has already happened, as a fact. No one will bring our people back to life. Therefore, the Rubicon is crossed, and there is no turning back.
For all the crimes in the world, there is a price. But it is not always obvious and paid immediately. Speaking of Russians, on the one hand, I see impunity to a large extent. And they think they will remain so. But the price they will pay even in the absence of obvious and direct punishment may be even greater. Even more terrible, as it will be slow but irreversible.
It’s like on the outside you can remain alive, but inside you are a half-rotten corpse. Without a future, reputation, and guarantees that your so-called state is real. Because it is not.
And fires and floods will continue as there is no money for building new dams, protective structures. No money for replacing important communications. No money for medicine and quality education. Everything will only get worse until Russia is flooded by that horrible substance it has created all these years: hatred, anger, insecurity, complexes, envy.
P.S. By the way, Dagestan. Leading in the number of those killed in Ukraine. More of them died here than Buryats. We don’t care about the reasons they go to the slaughter. It definitely doesn’t matter anymore.
