Arkady Babchenko: "Removing prohibitions"

"For some reason, it is believed that a journalist in war is a king and a god, and what happens depends on him. But nothing like that. You have no idea how the situation will develop. Nobody says - let's go, now we will execute prisoners. This simply does not happen It happens.

People left the battle, lost their own, killed strangers, everyone is on adrenaline, the situation develops only on hysteria, thirty extremely excited aggressive men with machine guns - and no one has any idea what will happen in the next moment. If the degree of hysteria does not reach the limit, you will film how prisoners are given cigarettes and water; if it reaches the limit, you will film the execution. That's all."
