A premonition of war

It seems that it can happen that it can happen, and the power and fellow citizens begin to believe

Remember what we were a year ago. If it were possible to write a letter to yourself from today and tell about Crimea, Maidan, prohibitions, disconnects, dug up from the grave of fascism, about the feat of Makarevich, about a downed plane and bearding with Girkin - we would not believe. A year ago, the main topic was one: whether they would imprison Navalny (well, except that stability remains in this matter). But the war with Ukraine a year ago would be the same pearl of black humor as the saying with Voronezh: "In response to sanctions, the Russian leadership struck Voronezh."

A few weeks ago, from one very smart person, I heard: "Do you want cheese - get ready for war." I laughed - they talked about the cheese in the mousetrap, about the situation with Ukraine, about domestic and foreign policy. The sanctions were not our surroundings headache. They summarized the overview of the development of events as follows: “It is difficult to look for a black cat in a dark room, especially if it is not there. No need to look for a black cobra in a dark room, especially if it is there. ”

After all, this is obvious?

Black cat - no.

Black cobra - there is.

And the dark room does not give out other options. There are simply no them there. There can be no winners in the good neighborly massacre. Twochildren teach this in the preparatory group of kindergarten, the rest are absorbed with mother’s milk. And now we just open peaceful, so to speak, news.

State Duma deputies from the Communist Party of the Communist Party turned to the Ministry of Emergencies with a request to bring all the bomb shelter of Russia on full readiness. “This is necessary for the security of citizens of the country, since the foreign policy situation is extremely unstable,” says communist Rashkin. He believes that now this area has been mired in corruption and about 90 % of bomb shelters have been leased.

A few weeks ago, from one very smart person, I heard: "Do you want cheese - get ready for war"

"

The head of the administration of Yekaterinburg, Alexander Jacob, signed the so -called “anxious decree”: a reminder to the townspeople how to prepare for military operations. The heads of all organizations are recommended to prepare the personnel of emergency emergency rescue units and the training of the working population by the methods of protection from dangers arising from military operations. All Yekaterinburgers should undergo training.

And then - a series of messages from different cities and districts, which are called exactly the same: "The call of reservists is not related to events in Ukraine."

Novosibirsk: “Citizens are called up for training collections for servicing in -reserve material resources. Depending on the title and position held, they will receive a salary of 14 to 30 thousand. According to the plan during August, September, October, about 165 people will be called up. ”

Astrakhan: “Private, sergeants and reserve officers were called up for two weeks.

Back in the recent past, men went to the military training camp constantly. But in recent years, the situation was peaceful, and such teachings have become a rarity. Now in neighboring Ukraine is a real war, therefore, we, just in case, need to keep ourselves in shape. Men from Volgograd aged 25 to 50 have only received notifications - in the case of mobilization within five days, come to the military enlistment office. But in Astrakhan, the first fired people had already gone to pull the forgotten army strap. According to the press service of the Southern Military District, fees with a call from the reserve of military liable Astrakhan began on the Caspian Flotilla. 100 people from among ordinary, sergeants and reserve officers have already put on full contentment and allocated them to uniform for two weeks they refresh knowledge and skills for combined arms and fire training. ”

Andrei Murashkin, deputy chief of staff of the Southern Military District, clarifies: the military commissariats will be called up for the fees of 150 people from among the ascribed composition: ordinary and sergeants of reserve under the age of 50, officers under the age of 55 years. The main goal of the exercises is to develop the coordinated actions of the headquarters of formations and military units with the military commissariats, executive bodies and other structures, the development of modern methods of managing the troops, their rapid transfer from peacetime to wartime.

Yaroslavl region: “Private and sergeants, consisting in reserve, participate in the training camp. The age of the participants in the fees is from 30 to 40 years. All of them in civilian life work at the enterprises of Yaroslavl and Tutaev. ” The next batch of reservists will go to the training camp in September.

Vladimir Region: the military commissar of the region Yuri Karmanov reports that anyone who served in the army aged 28 to 50 years can be called for fees. The Ministry of Defense at the time of the fees will retain their average salary reservists, and at the end of the salary will pay a salary laid by law for military military personnel. All road expenses will also pay the state.

The Middle Urals: “Exacerbation of the political situation brings with itself the expectations of a military conflict. Moreover, in the Middle Urals, military fees this year are not held in winter, as usual, but in the summer months. The military assured that the current fees are in no way connected with the events in Ukraine, however, the presence of political reasons also did not deny. Along with the summer military fees, it also became known about the modernization of the equipment of the largest Russian plant for the production of artillery and tank guns - OJSC Plant No. 9. The company is ready to actively engage in the manufacture of the latest self-propelled artillery installations "Coalition-SV".

The Far East: Here are reports of the recently completed exercises: on August 8, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the completion of aircraft on the border with Ukraine. And then, on the islands of the Kuril ridge, the exercises of the interspecific grouping of the troops of the Eastern Military District (VVO) began, during which elements of the defense of the sea coast with the landing of the Airborne Forces will be worked out. More than a thousand military personnel, five Mi-8AMTSH helicopters and about 100 units of combat and special equipment are involved in KSU.

"This post is written simply to fix the sensation - a war will begin in a couple of days"

"

Maybe we just didn’t notice all this before? Let's look at the reaction of the general public.

Facebook, Natalia: “This post is written simply to fix the feeling - a war will begin in a couple of days. Well, so that the descendants did not argue later - it was suddenly, it was not suddenly. "

Sergey: “For the first time, our country is ready for war. We will give battle to Ukrainian fascism and American hegemony. ”

VKontakte, Maria: “My grandfather died in Germany. My father died in Vietnam. Classmates died in Afghanistan. And now Ukraine requires the death of my sons. ”

That is, we still go into the dark room and look for a black cobra there.

And she is there.
