“From the Soviet Information Bureau...” These words, uttered in the even deep voice of the announcer Levitan (during the war, there are no “leaders” - only an announcer!) are familiar to everyone in our country.
To whom according to the films, and to whom according to the stories of relatives - eyewitnesses of those terrible events of the middle of the 20th century.
In the most difficult moments at the front, it sounded tragic, but infected with stamina, and after a turning point during the battles, it sounded solemn, even triumphant.
Kaput to the Nazis.
Peace soon.
In the latest fast-paced times, getting information about what is happening in Ukraine from a mass of sources, no, no, yes, and you will remember the legend of Soviet broadcasting.
In terms of style, presentation of information, our General Konashenkov from the Ministry of Defense is closest to him.
Laconic clear messages, perfect turns.
“The grouping of troops of the People's Republic, with fire support from the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, has successfully advanced deep into the enemy's defenses ...” Well, just a song.
Konashenkov also has a talented colleague, Eduard Basurin from the DPR.
His area of responsibility is narrower, but it is no less (if not more) important given the root cause of the developing conflict.
Let me remind you that it all started with the intention of the Ukrainian Natsiks to clear out the predominantly Russian Donbass by military force.
In 2014, footage of local residents literally using their hands to stop armored vehicles sent by Kiev to conquer the recalcitrant impressed many.
That is why last night's summary of Basurin sounds like heavenly music.
“As of February 27, the DPR units took control of 17 settlements: Pavlopol, Pishchevik, Viktorovka, Bogdanovka, Novognatovka, Nikolayevka, Rybinskoye, Trudovskoye, Vasilievka, Prokhorovka, Starognatovka, Svobodnoye, Donskoye, Anadol, Andreevka, Gnutovo and Granitnoye.”
Information about the tactical environment of Mariupol, which actually forms a cauldron, adds faith in success.
The first heroes appeared.
A guy, our contract soldier, all in bandages, taken prisoner, but refusing to shout “Glory to Ukraine!”, which is incited by the tormentors surrounding him.
He is stubbornly silent, although he knows that, most likely, he will be shot now.
The war will write off ... And suddenly he calmly and firmly says: "Glory to Russia!"
- and annoying grunts behind the scenes betray the disappointment of the defenders of the idea of "Maidan".
This is exactly how our best soldiers behaved in the Great Patriotic War.
Or another example: a native of Dagestan, an officer of the 247th Guards Airborne Assault Caucasian Cossack Regiment of the Airborne Forces, Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov, being surrounded by the Ukrainian military, blew himself up with a grenade.
Just like our pilot Oleg Peshkov in Syria, surrounded by barmaley.
And like Alexander Matrosov in the last big war.
The head of the Republic of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, expressed his condolences to the family of the Russian officer.
Alas, heroes do not appear from a good life.
People exhibit superhuman behavior when they feel that literally everything is at stake.
That is how it is in Ukraine today.
The country has become the arena of the global war of the West, declared to Russia.
The events of these days are on a par with 1941 or 1991.
Exactly.
We have to endure, win and correct the mistakes of the last decades - to achieve real sovereignty, independence in everything.
But more on that later.
Let's return to Ukraine, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine behave in a completely different way than it is customary to behave in the army of a country that values the lives of its compatriots.
For example, they equip positions of artillery and multiple launch rocket systems in residential areas, courtyards of schools and kindergartens.
Covered by civilians.
For this reason, the Russian military is forced to move carefully - the large-scale use of heavy equipment will create a risk to the civilian population.
The essentially Nazi ideology of Bandera is now manifesting itself in Ukraine in all its glory.
Nationalist formations within the Armed Forces of Ukraine have taken on the role of detachments - they shoot officers and privates for what they think is insufficient loyalty.
Moving around the city, sometimes they fire randomly at the surrounding buildings, enjoying the fear of the townsfolk and their own alleged superiority.
In the rear, the “superhumans”, having grabbed weapons that the Kyiv authorities uncontrollably distributed to everyone who wants it, are reveling in the opportunity to administer lynching, identifying passers-by as Russian saboteurs or simply punishing those who looked askance at them.
Anyone who has seen numerous shots taken from behind a curtain by bystanders of massacres understands that such behavior is defined by the term "sadism".
Bandera literally get high from the torment of the victims, like their grandfathers-capos under Adolf Hitler.
I would like to believe that some of these monsters will not survive the Russian special operation.
The other part, apparently, will have to judge.
Arrange over time a sort of new "Nuremberg" somewhere in the Lugansk People's Republic.
For the edification of Kiev, as well as Europe, which seems to have decided to replay the results of the history of the middle of the 20th century.
Recall that for this, the Russian Investigative Committee has already established direct ties with the Donbass.
The torture of our military soldiers by the Armed Forces of Ukraine will also not go unpunished.
Until recently, the increased attention to the topic of the Great Patriotic War seemed to many to be slightly exaggerated.
New victories are needed, critics of the Russian authorities said from patriotic positions.
Now, however, the Kremlin's line has become clearer.
It turned out that Nazism did not disappear anywhere, but only hid - and crawled out into the world at the first opportunity.
And he has the same habits.
This can be seen from the fresh restrictions of the West: they hit everything Russian.
They fight for Russianness.
