<p>Oh, man. This is an echo of a decade long propaganda by Russian
Federation. My Russian speaking relatives show signs of deep hate
for what Russian military has done. Most of those in Ukraine who
believed Russian propaganda now realize how fooled they were.<br>
</p>
<p>Reality is that all of top brass in government of a separatist
region, was all citizens of Russian Federation. No kidding. All
way back from 2014. Both citizens and residents of Russian
Federation.<br>
</p>
<p>I intentionally highlight Russian Federation (RF), as apposed to
Russian. Firstly, it isn't easy to motivate Russians from RF to go
and kill Russians in the East of Ukraine. Secondly, even in 2014
there was already a ton of video evidence of nationalities from
Siberian part of RF in tank brigades fighting against Ukraine.
These brigades couldn't possible originate from Ukraine.</p>
<p>I think we are seeing a repeat of Nazi's propaganda, what it did
to people, in uniform and civilians, how society going to heal
from this, etc. I turned to think that some post-war German rules
were to excessive, but events in Belarus in 2020 and this war now
show that German approach is a starting point to deflect memetic
toxins that surely destroy the very foundation of civilization.<br>

<p>There is no one in Ukraine untouched by this. I have a lot of
relatives, particularly in Mariupol. Those, who I was able to
contact, are alive, due to organization in hiding from
shelling. "Horrible" just doesn't start to describe this.<br>
</p>
<p>Wave of people in Europe starts to reach our shores. A friend
of mine picked his farther in Poland. He evacuated with other
family members from Kharkiv by land to Poland. Many thanks to
Polish and European people. Please, support all these
initiatives.<br>
