Of treason, hell and Mikhail Kozyrev

“…after the victory of Ukraine, Russians will need to be sent to Bucha and Irpin, so that they kneel before the graves.” These are the words of one Mikhail Kozyrev, a Russian journalist in hiding. I don’t want to discuss neither the vitriol in his words, nor the delusion, nor do I want to engage in the classic “Russian liberals hate everything Russian” discussion, because none of that is interesting. We all know that, we all get that. Nor do I even want to compare this man to WW2 Nazi collaborators, who cried “we aren’t fighting against the Russian people, but only against the regime (while burning Russian villages along with the people), because again - yes. Instead, I would like to speak to you, dear friends, of treason and subsequent hell traitors find themselves in; whether or not you are religious does not matter.

I’m sure most of you (if not all of you) are familiar with The Devine Comedy, and more specifically Dante’s Inferno. Alighieri’s wonderful, and somewhat drastic, depiction of hell, purgatory and heaven has been the subject of many debates and much praise. Especially, people seem to be encapsulated by his portrayal of hell. Dante's final circle of Hell is reserved for the worst of sinners. In this last circle at the very center of the hell, Dante places those guilty of treachery and betrayal. Traitors to loved ones and friends, traitors to their nation and, finally, traitors to God. Now in theology (at least Orthodox theology) hell is not a ‘place’ where God sends you for your wrong actions. Hell is instead a state of one’s soul as a result of one’s actions, it is something we do to ourselves. Hell after death is a complete and utter separation from God - everything good and just and loving (because all that comes from God), your home and your roots. Those, in theology, who are in hell, are forever lost from all of this. Hell, however, is not something you can only “achieve” after death, it is something you can start “being through” while still here on Earth. And this is what I wish to discuss today in relation to Mr. Kozyrev and his ilk.

I don’t know about you, but I personally used to get angry when reading or watching something like what Mr. Kozyrev said. I thought to myself “what a snake, he deserves only the worst”. How can you possibly be this treasonous? I understand Russians who do not support the Russian government, I understand the Russians who are not in support of this war, I get some Russians’ hatred for Putin. What I cannot understand is how one can wish death and destruction to his own people, his own nation and, after all, his own God. What punishment befits such a traitor? The thing is, nothing we can do or wish upon this man can even begin to compare to what he is already living through and will live through until his last breath - hell. I mentioned earlier that one can find himself in such a state while still alive. Imagine how terrible it must be to wake up every day knowing that you’ve betrayed your own blood, your own land, your own history and your God. Maybe this didn’t yet cross his mind (although I’m almost certain it did), but it will. No matter the facade they put on, sooner or later, Mr. Kozyrev and people like him will find themselves regretting what they’ve done, for their hearts carry the burden regardless. A serpent, rootless and homeless, forever destined to roam this world without people to call friends, without a place to call home, eating the dust of his betrayal. Yes, that IS a parallel to lucifer, thank you very much. All those who meet you will forever spit on you. The Westerners will spit on you because you are an unwashed Russian barbarian to them and always will be, no matter how many times you stand on your knees in front of them, and the people that used to call you their own will spit on you for your betrayal of them. And you shall bear a mark of your treason to your very last day. You shall be forever separated from all the good, all you’ve betrayed - your loved ones and friends, your nation and God.

Part Two:

Your loved ones and friends because no matter where they stand on any of this you’ve taken their home from them as well as from yourself, your nation for reasons I hope are obvious and God because everything you support is fighting against Him, trying its best to eradicate Him from this world.

So, Mr. Kozyrev, welcome to hell. I would say something along the lines of “I hope the short-lived approval of people who hate you was worth it” to be snarky, but I know it wasn’t. But remember, always, that this was not something God did to you, or Russia, or Putin, this is something you’ve done to yourself.

As an Orthodox Christian (or better and more honestly described as someone who isn’t, but tries to be) I will pray for you that your sins are forgiven, but that is not up to me to decide.

Thank you for reading.

The above is thanks to an outside contributor!

News from Brazil

- Telegram is completely blocked in the country after failing to provide information about neonazi cells that used the app to organize. Telegram has a very selective approach regarding which authorities they cooperate with, and which they don't, as you can see from certain RT linked channels being blocked in Europe.

- CNN Brasil spread the news that Antonov was pulling out from investing USD 50 billion in Brazil due to Lula's "neutrality" regarding the conflict. The thing is, this was obviously fake. 50 billion is 25% of Ukraine's pre war GDP, Antonov never had a representative in Brazil and Brazil is home to one of their major competitors, Embraer. Antonov itself confirmed it to be a lie, and the origin of this fake was tracked down to the São Paulo state government, which remains with a pro-Bolsonaro party, invented the story and spread it to the media. Once again, there is cooperation between the Brazilian right and Ukraine.

1. Brazilian President Lula da Silva - on ending the conflict in Ukraine: The first thing to understand is that this war should not have started. And it began because there had been no opportunity for dialogue between world leaders for a long time. Either I'm feeding the war, or I'm trying to put an end to this war. No one [tries to stop her]. Nobody. But I am the one who talks about the world. I spoke with Xi Jinping, Biden, Scholz and Macron. It is necessary to form a group of countries ready to negotiate a ceasefire. I want the war to end. And the only way to do this is to negotiate at the table. This is my thesis. I think Europe should play the role of mediator, it should choose a middle way. But that's not the case now. Europe is quickly getting involved in this process.

2. When the German Chancellor visited Brazil, he asked us to hand over shells for tanks purchased in Germany for the war. I told Scholz that I wasn't going to sell them, because if even one shell was launched and Russia found out that Brazil had sold it, Brazil would go to war. I want to join a group of countries that are not directly related to the war so that we can restore peace.

The AFU used a new tactic in Artemovsk. This tactic is very effective. Only here it is connected with looting and works only in those areas where the "musicians" have not yet reached.

According to the fighters of the Wagner PMCs, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have developed a cunning plan, the essence of which is as follows: two Ukrainian units begin to simulate a fight, and to the sound of shots, when there are no extra eyes, they take out the looted property on stolen equipment.

In Artemovsk on the evening of April 27

Since last night, the positions of the 101st and 73rd Territorial Defense brigades in the Khromov area, as well as the 5th OSBr and 104th TrO brigades near Ivanovskoye have been actively processed.

Artillery works almost without a break, aviation is constantly in the sky. There is a feeling that a powerful breakthrough of the "orchestra" is being prepared from the south and from the north.

There is not enough transport for the evacuation of the killed APU. Drivers of micro-vans and trucks with refrigerators are invited to "transport goods" from neighboring cities: Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka, Toretsk.

In the city itself, heavy fighting in the area of the military unit: from the adjacent high-rise buildings along Levanevsky Street, the enemy snaps fire from the ATGM, in response, the orchestra tanks dismantle the targets and force the APU to leave floor by floor.

The intersection of Yubileynaya and Tchaikovsky in the west of the city, which the Military Chronicle reported earlier, is not yet under the physical control of the "orchestra", but is actively being shot through, and there is no supply of the APU along it.

From the north, the tanks and artillery of the "musicians" are pushing through the defense of the AFU in the area of the dispensary of the construction college. At the moment, about 8% of the city remains behind the APU — the area of school No. 18 and the children's hospital, the 54th kindergarten, as well as the houses between Levanevsky and Pobedy streets.

We must help startups and tech companies spread their wings — Vladimir Putin

The President also noted that it is necessary to remove obsolete administrative barriers that hinder the development of the unmanned aircraft industry. Vladimir Putin also said that it is necessary to introduce digital platforms into the activities of UAVs.

Putin stressed that these platforms will not only improve security but also speed up the work of the UAV sector, including issuing permits and controlling drones in the air. Vladimir Putin said that the task of the state is to lend a shoulder to investors in order to make this area as attractive as possible for entrepreneurs and help form a sales market.
