War through the eyes of readers "Medusa"

How do we choose letters

Readers "Medusa" live in different countries and treat war differently. We publish your letters to see this event with your eyes. Our editors try to present all points of view, even if they do not coincide with the position of the editorial office. However, in accordance with the Medusa Code, we do not publish messages that contain the “language of hatred”, the murder of civilians is justified, and direct support for an aggressive war is expressed.

Maxim (New York). It doesn’t matter where and when - in books, films, cartoons, games - good should always win. Since childhood, I have seen this black and white world, where the bad will certainly be punished, and the good is rewarded. But after almost three years of the war I was tired. I don't believe it anymore. Good - no matter how beautiful we call it - never was and will never. Because everyone pursues only their interests. There is no good and evil - there is only a gray void in which we live.

I look at how people shout in Russia that you need to bomb cities, and anger is overwhelmed by me. But then I see Ukrainians who rejoice that the next drone fell on a residential building in Russia, and it becomes even worse for me. I want to ask: if you are just as rejoicing in the death of people, how are you different from those you hate?

After three years of war and endless cries of cannibals, I was tired on both sides. And most of all I am tired of the fact that people do not want peace. They shout about the world, but continue to defend their interests and do not even want to try to agree. And if you opposed this, you immediately become a “traitor” or “guilty”.

The Russians say that I betrayed his homeland, because I left criticizing power during the war. Ukrainians say that I am to blame for this war and should be responsible for the actions of the regime, to which I have nothing to do with it: I was not even born when Putin came to power.

I'm tired. Tired of the war. But most of all - from people who do not want to stop. From those who prefer an endless massacre, just not to lose a “position”. From those who are ready to sacrifice lives, just not to sit down at the negotiating table. Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in recent years - as in that joke: "Two morons are power." One stream of accusations is replaced by another. One garbage from the mouth - in response to another.

I have nothing more to say. In addition to the fact that I just want silence. Not victory, not revenge, but silence. And so that at least someone decided to be right, but alive.
