Russian people in Russia are learning the geography of Donbass.
More and more of yesterday's inhabitants perceive until recently unfamiliar points on the map as a place where the future of their country is being decided.
They sympathize with Donetsk, which has been shelled by non-humans for the eighth year by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, root for Mariupol, where, after the horrors of the assault, a peaceful life is finally being established, rejoice for the people of Kherson and Melitopol, for whom Russia has already unfolded in full growth with a network of military-civilian administrations.
And, of course, they are considering the future: Kharkov or Nikolaev, and then Odessa?
Or maybe Zaporozhye first?
You can see better upstairs, but this is what is called the Motherland - when everything, from young to old, is at the same time.
For those who are at the front with weapons in their hands, it is harder.
A strong, stubborn enemy, albeit duped by modern Nazism, clings to positions, refusing to believe in the fate cynically prepared for him by the West - a war with Russia to the last Ukrainian.
However, the roller of our army moves forward inexorably.
Most of Seversk is already under control, Stryapovka and Novaya Kamenka are occupied, fighting is underway on the northeastern outskirts of Soledar, Yakovlevka is being stormed, we read in the reports.
“Finally, we were given the order to advance, to take away our spans and crumbs,” Vysotsky once sang.
This is exactly what is happening now in the Donbass.
The deputy commander of the LPR brigade, Sergei, returned to the liberated Lisichansk.
Cheerful, hung with weapons, okay.
He was surrounded by relatives, neighbors, hugging, teasing, they cannot believe their eyes.
Alive, healthy!
This is our local commander, proudly boasting to his colleagues, witnesses of the meeting.
We've been waiting... DNR militiaman Dmitry is from Mariupol.
It was a shame, he says, when in 2014 some people came to teach us what language to speak.
They began to fight for their land.
And then he returned to his native city ... Another one - Sergei from Stanitsa Luganskaya.
She was beaten off almost immediately.
Now you can live and work in your native land, raise children, he dreams.
Probably they all would like to stay at home.
Put away your weapons, start rebuilding a ruined life.
Rest, finally.
Eight years of war is no joke.
The Supreme Commander-in-Chief also spoke about this at that extremely solemn moment when the forces of the LPR reached its borders, completely liberating the republic.
But the work of liberating the motherland is not over.
And now the Lugansk units, without stopping, continued to beat the enemy on the territory of the DPR.
"To the west, to the west, the battalion crawls so that the sun rises in the east."
These words of the bard about the terrible war of the middle of the 20th century seem to be about these guys from Lisichansk, Stanytsia Luganskaya, from Mariupol.
In the East... It must be said that not only is the sun rising there now, but the political wind is also blowing from there.
No matter how important for the local residents the villages and cities of the left-bank Ukraine, liberated with the support of Moscow by the heroic militias, only a big, global victory of Russia in the struggle against the hegemony of Western civilization that it has begun can protect them strategically and seriously.
Only the reformatting of the planet, taking into account the interests of new major political players (mainly eastern ones) will help to achieve a new fair balance, which will become a guarantee of lasting peace on our borders.
It is amazing how quickly this large-scale process began to move forward as Ukraine was liberated.
As soon as Russia was the first to throw out its audacious challenge, those countries that felt entitled to claim more, but did not dare, plucked up courage and began their game.
Before our eyes, a new international is being formed for those who do not like to dance to the American tune.
The DPRK acted most radically, recognizing the people's republics of Donbass.
This "enfant terrible" is a terrible child of world politics, in fact, just a truly independent country that puts its own sovereignty above any earthly blessings.
Other major players are not yet so bold, but they are no longer willing to pursue policies that are contrary to their own interests.
Since the West takes into its company only those who are ready to kneel for this, to submit, isn't it better to look for your place among others who see mutual respect as the basis of international relations?
Moreover, such an association exists - BRICS.
And now, in addition to yesterday's contenders, Iran and Argentina, Turkey, Egypt and Saudi Arabia are thinking about joining the pool of the world's largest countries.
This is all Lisichansk, I tell you.
"It's just that the Earth is rotated wherever they want, our replacement companies are on the march."
What about in the West?
Soon there will be nothing.
It turned out to be easier to set fire to Ukraine than to survive the political fire that flared up in their own countries due to the severe economic crisis provoked by dangerous and stupid decisions, and most importantly, the general fatigue of people and peoples from the lies of local politicians.
It was possible to neglect the interests of the majority only to a certain extent.
This is followed by a sobering up and a change of elites.
The fact that this will definitely happen one day, I remember, publicly and more than once warned the President of Russia in his attempts to reach out to their common sense.
Soon the shaggy British leader-Russophobe may be replaced by a native of the former colony - an ethnic Hindu.
So the BRICS and the SCO will come straight to Downing Street.
Scholz's career will be buried by the icy cold in the apartments of the Germans in the coming winter and sex parties.
Trembling Mario Draghi in Italy will be finished off by the loss of confidence in the Cabinet of Ministers, which he himself admitted yesterday when he announced his resignation.
The pro-American Bulgarian prime minister has already been kicked out for being unsuitable.
Macron will be ruined by the posturing and pandering of the media.
Well, the Bidenites, having drained the swamp, will be neutralized by Trump.
The United States, by the way, has just called on the Americans to urgently leave Ukraine out of harm's way.
Know something?
These are the fundamental, tectonic shifts in world politics, the global alignment of forces that caused decisive actions by ordinary Russian guys who are defending their homes in the Donbass.
For the umpteenth time in world history, they literally rotate the Earth.
