There is a Ukrainian Youtube Channel where they upload interviews with Russian POWs. This is a surprisingly common story there. It’s always guys saying that they were supposed to be somewhere far behind the frontline and are suddenly sent to some trench without any preparation or equipment.

As it turns out, never opposing a dictator in order to survive, will not stop that dictator from killing you.

It's too dangerous to protest against regime but...

I guess it is a lot safer to go into Ukraine with a gun

What if you wouldn’t be consripted? Or you’d not be sent to frontlines? Or you’d happen to go through it unscarsed? If you can’t change it, you can only bet it won’t notice and harm you.

There’s like a day or two of lectures about how this state of mind works. I’ve started to ignore some folks who’ve drown into it.

The propaganda is strong. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that people in Russia are still believing things that Putin says.
