    I think if we had not started bombing them, the Ukrainians would have bombed us. We had no choice. But something went wrong, nobody saw it coming. Now that so many soldiers have died, we cannot stop. We need to press on until we achieve victory.

    > **Do you understand why Russia is fighting in Ukraine? What was Yevgeny fighting for?**

    My son fought for us, for Russia and the Russians. So that we can keep using our phones, eat and drink like before. He did not die in vain, he died for us, so that we can lead long, happy lives, so that we don’t have to live through war and that bombs fall on us.

    > **In Russia, it is illegal to call this conflict a war. Do you regard this as a war or a “special operation”?**

    I do not see this as a “special operation.” This is a proper war. I am aware we are not supposed to call it that, but it is a war. It’s a bloodbath.

  2. Mom talks about her son being brainwashed and then repeats verbatim Kremlin propaganda.

    Either she’s also brainwashed or this is how she copes with the loss of a child. Or both.

  3. In what parallel universe these people live I don’t know. Ukraine attacking Russia? Propaganda is apparently much stronger than their military.

  5. All of this talk about the “technology age” we are living in yet we still see people brainwashed like 100 years ago

  6. Russia is a country that has only known brutal dictatorships and state mandated obedience for the past 100 years, even the Czar was no saint, so these people are fundamentally broken. Worst part is that they didn’t even get a chance to experience competent democratic government and its benefits because of the oligarchs and Boris Yeltsin being a corrupt drunkard.
