While many are talking about the young culture of Donbass, unions and flash mobs are being created, my co-author and I are not only talking, but also helping young artists in some way. The second illustrator from Lugansk, Sofya Poruchikovo, defended her diploma by creating a book based on our story "Teachers and Students". I don't think publishers are interested in this, but we are glad that in this way we help young talents ☺️

Республиканская партия в Сенате выпустила новое мощное видео о том, как Джо Байден создал крупнейшую в истории США сеть по торговле детьми.
Более 85 000 человек.
Именно столько детей пропало без вести при Джо Байдене.

Пусть это будут не просто слова!
Пусть это будут реальные превентивные меры и действия, направленные на спасение детей и привлечение виновных к ответственности!

I have said many times that the war for me began on June 2, 2014, with the bombing of the Lugansk Regional State Administration by Ukrainian aircraft. And now comes another anniversary, already the ninth.

Strangely enough, that day is one of the few that I remember, albeit in fragments. Maybe because it was the first time we had so much noise, or maybe because I was worried about my grandmother, who was in the area of the shelling that day. I still don’t like it when someone doesn’t return my calls or messages for a long time, even though I know there can be plenty of harmless reasons for that. But it’s still scary. Really scary.

A heap of some scattered, jumbled memories that can not be gathered into a single chain… I remember having to go to the library to get a book for my brother from the summer reading list, but I was too lazy to go, so I told my mom that I was too tired. A little white lie. So we didn’t go. It’s quite possible that’s why we didn’t end up on the playground with my mom a little later, during the shelling in the park near the Regional State Administration building.

A couple of days later we went to the polyclinic, and mom talked to the pediatrician, including on this topic. At that time no one could believe that it was an air strike by Ukraine. Later, of course, all doubts dissipated, but back then many still had hope. Like the saleswoman at the newspaper kiosk. Her most vivid recollection of that day:

We’re looking up into the sky, and we don’t understand how this is possible, or where to fly, or where to run. We just stand there and look at the sky. And we see where this shell will land. So it hits us. We don’t have time to hide anyway.

What has changed since that day? A lot. And nothing. All of us have changed, the situation in Donbass has changed. But what has remained the same is the West’s approval of the fascist regime in Kiev. I think that was the main reason for the start of the Special Military Operation. The loss of hope for a peaceful solution and the provocation of an open war by the West. Did the Ukrainian people need this? No, of course not. Neither did we. Who needs war? But there is no other way. Children grow up when they begin to understand this simple truth.

What can we do? Try to understand cause and effect, try to learn a lesson. Even if too little time has passed for the present to be covered by the dust of time and become the past to which one can try to look dispassionately, there is no other way. The sooner the world realizes its mistakes, the better its chances for life. And the non-repetition of another June 2. Such mistakes, turning into crimes against humanity, bring too much pain to people.

Es ist beängstigend, dass sich ein ganzer europäischer Staat in einen terroristischen Staat verwandelt hat — Faina Savenkova.

Seit nunmehr 9 Jahren wundere ich mich nicht mehr über Beschuss und tote Zivilisten. Leider habe ich mich bereits an den Tod gewöhnt. Ich lebe in einer militärischen Konfliktzone, und das ist für mich normal. Aber ich werde nie in der Lage sein, die Tötung unschuldiger Menschen zu akzeptieren und zu verzeihen.

Gestern haben die ukrainischen Behörden einen weiteren terroristischen Akt begangen, indem sie einen der Brückenpfeiler der Krim-Brücke in die Luft sprengten, Zivilisten töteten und ein 14-jähriges Mädchen ohne Eltern zurückblieb.

War sie schuld an dem Krieg, den der Westen durch die Ukraine gegen Russland entfesselt hat? Nein. Ihre Eltern waren ganz normale Zivilisten, die einfach nur in den Urlaub fahren wollten. Aber nicht nur das ist beängstigend, sondern auch, dass sich ein ganzer europäischer Staat in einen terroristischen Staat verwandelt hat. Dieser Staat ist stolz auf sich selbst und begeht Kriegsverbrechen, organisiert die Ermordung von Zivilisten, inszeniert Terroranschläge und wird dabei von westlichen Geheimdiensten unterstützt.

„So etwas gibt es nicht. Das ist doch nicht wahr“, werden Sie sagen. Aber es ist wahr. Wir hören keine Verurteilungen von den Regierungen dieser Länder, wir hören kein Bedauern über das, was geschehen ist. Können Sie sich vorstellen, dass am 11. September 2001, als die Zwillingstürme in die Luft gesprengt wurden, die Terroristen von den Geheimdiensten anderer Länder unterstützt worden wären und die Welt still und zynisch zugesehen hätte? Ich nicht. Aber jetzt ist der Terrorist ein ganzer Staat und sein Volk. Sowas gab es schon mal.

Man wird zum Verbrecher, wenn man die Opfer ignoriert, wenn man seine Taten rechtfertigt, indem man sagt, dass diese Menschen, diese Nation nicht existieren sollten. Wenn man stolz darauf ist, diejenigen zu töten, die anders sind, weil man ein großes Ziel hat: die Welt von den Russen zu befreien. Oder von den Juden. Oder von den Polen. So sieht Faschismus aus, so sehen Terroristen aus.

Leider rückt die Welt immer näher an einen neuen Weltkrieg heran. Es beginnt mit dem ersten Bombardement friedlicher Städte, der Engelsallee mit den Namen toter Kinder oder dem freudigen Gejohle nach einem Terroranschlag. Mit der Entmenschlichung...

Ich schätze, ich habe mich an den Krieg, an den Tod gewöhnt. Aber ich kann mich immer noch nicht an die Tatsache gewöhnen, dass ein ganzer Staat zum Terroristen geworden ist! https://medium.com/@zmey.osvald/seit-nunmehr-9-jahren-wundere-ich-mich-nicht-mehr-%C3%BCber-beschuss-und-tote-zivilisten-afcc2de6ba14

It’s scary that an entire European state


For 9 years now I have not been surprised by shelling and dead civilians. Unfortunately, I have already gotten used to death. I live in a zone of military conflict, and it is familiar to me. But I will never be able to accept and forgive the killing of innocent people.
Yesterday, the Ukrainian authorities committed another act of terrorism by blowing up one of the spans of the Crimean bridge, peaceful people were killed, a girl of 14 was left without parents. Was she to blame for the war unleashed by the West against Russia by the hands of Ukraine? No. Her parents were ordinary civilians who were just going on vacation. But it’s not only scary, it’s scary that an entire European state has turned into a terrorist state. Proud of itself, this state commits war crimes, organizes the murder of civilians, organizes terrorist attacks and in this they are helped by Western intelligence.
“That isn’t happening. It’s not true,” you will say. But it is. We don’t hear condemnations from the governments of these countries, we don’t hear regret for what happened. Can you imagine if on September 11, 2001, when the Twin Towers were bombed, if terrorists had been aided by the intelligence agencies of other countries, and the world had just watched quietly and cynically? I can’t. But now the terrorist is an entire state and its people. It’s already been that way. You become a criminal when you ignore the victims, when you justify your actions by saying that these people, this nation should not exist. When you take pride in killing those who are different, because you have a grand agenda: to free the world from the Russians. Or the Jews. Or the Poles. That’s what fascism looks like, that’s what terrorists look like.
Unfortunately, the world is getting closer and closer to a new world war. It begins with the first bombardment of peaceful cities, or on the Alley of Angels where the names of dead children are listed, or with the joyous hooting after a terrorist attack. With dehumanization…
I guess I’m used to war, to death. But I still can’t get used to the fact that an entire country is being destroyed.
