Add to the thousands, tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers killed in Chechnya and Russia, and those unhappy lives that ended in Moscow, and hundreds of thousands of destitute and displaced from all sides in different directions. And let's add bitterness, and fear, and unprecedented theft and corruption, and destroyed souls. And we get the result: it seems that we are all hostages of war. The world war of the twentieth century, which, once begun, will never end. It flowed around us for a long time and overtook us - out of our own bewilderment, to understand another, different, not similar and to manage the processes of the changing world not in the way we are used to, but in the way that life, the living life of a living person, requires. What is the highest goal more precious than it? And who, except you and God, can dispose of it? If Berlin had been taken three days later, what would have changed in the world? And two hundred thousand sons and fathers would return home, make a lot of money or how it turns out, give birth to children and increase the livestock of our patient people. Party members - military and civilian - never thought in units. They knew and know now that their own life is inescapable and unique and needs to be preserved, while others do not need it so much. Not so much that it could not be neglected as an extremely small quantity. This is probably why all our leaders fail to tell the truth. Sometimes they will remain silent, but they will still lie. Leave the inmate out of important affairs of state. And it is not insulting more to the inhabitant. Just sorry for relatives, relatives, friends. And yourself. They don't trust us with our lives. Chernobyl, Vilnius, Tbilisi, Baku, August 1991, 1993, Chechnya the first, "Kursk", Chechnya the second... It is impossible to promise and not cheat. We are not vindictive. Well, they will finish, they will finish, they promised ... In the meantime, fresh untimely graves throughout Russia. The graves of those who, with their lives, silently voted against the war on the territory of their country. Now there are 90 more votes (at the time of signing the issue). It's nothing that they are less than fifty percent of Russia. There are still alive, who, with their hats off, standing in mournful silence, support them.
