We will lay down and not save

Watching such videos is hard, because there are hostages in the frame. Probably, little familiar with each other, otherwise Roman Zabolotny would not look at the piece of paper, calling the name of the combat comrade, Grigory Tsurkan. It is also possible that the captured Russian citizens have any other names - and the one who can speak, and another, strongly beaten, who is silent.

But these details are not too important. It is important that people face death, almost inevitable, and if they have at least the slightest chance to survive, then this may be due to certain meaningful steps of the Russian leadership. Public statements by officials, secret diplomacy, effective actions of special services. Well, at least an expression of sympathy for those who are beaten and going to kill if it is impossible to help them.

That is why it is doubly difficult to listen to the speeches of the representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, who habitually renounce their soldiers and do not recognize them in the face - after a demonstration of the video. What ISISTOVITS will probably be informed captured in the village of Esh Shul. True, between the lines of these anonymous statements, one can read that neither losses nor capture are recorded in the army that is directly subordinate to the commander Shoigu. About the legionnaires of the private military company Wagner, the pets of the legendary Kremlin Khundozhin Kremlin Kremlin, the Ministry of Defense was not said in the press release of the Ministry of Defense and could not be said, therefore, it is possible that it is about them.

However, these people, the fighters of the famous special forces "Ihtamet", are also our compatriots who must be saved. Trying to redeem, exchange, pull out in other ways, morally support. The impassive departmental comment heard by terrorists is akin to the death sentence for the fighters.

There is a significant difference between the betrayal that the collective Konashenkov performs, peeling off from the Luhansk region who have lost in the forests and those who were captured by the militants of the Islamic State. This is also a shame. But with the consequences are much worse.

Since Russian captives are of double value for the Ukrainian authorities. As living exhibits convincingly proving the presence of troops of a neighboring state in the Donbass. And also in order to exchange the lost to their citizens under a successful combination of circumstances. As it was, for example, in May last year, when Nadezhda Savchenko and Aleksandrov and Erofeev returned home, the warriors of that unique army, from which it was customary to quit shortly before joining the battle.

In Syria, everything is different.

There, on the side of Bashar al -Assad, Russia is fighting carnival, openly, loudly, triumphantly, and the front -line aircraft almost on the air of the land of the terrorist logs, and inhuman music in the fulfillment of the favorite musicians of our commander in chief, and the exploits of the valiant military personnel, there are no ends and is not foreseen. It is known to what we are fighting there: in order for the world to forget about Ukraine and, horrified by perfect and upcoming feats, focused on Syria. Nevertheless, the attitude to the fighters who die for Damascus and falling into captivity does not differ from what is happening at another hot point. “There were no incidents ..., they report from Arbat Square, and as for Zabolotny and Tsurkan, no matter who they are, they do not exist in nature. Since "all military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, located in the Syrian Arab Republic, fulfill the assigned tasks for the destiny," and here again, it can be read between the lines that everyone has their own purpose.

We are lucky, that is, survivors and returned, - orders and stars. Other, not so happy, is posthumous honors if the authorities consider it possible to declassify their names. And the unfortunate, captured during the clashes, is complete oblivion, and if they are again shown in a brief or detailed documentary thriller of the IG -Info studio, then they will not slow down on Arbatskaya with an answer. Rejecting even a hint that the homeland remembers those whom she sent to battle, who became a hostage, who threatens death.

Of course, there is nothing to be surprised: this is a tradition. Stalin did not have prisoners of war, but only traitors - and Putin, apparently, did not care much about the fate of those who fell into a hopeless situation. Which manifests itself the same. In relatively peacetime - during the liberation of hostages, and in the war - in press releases, from which it follows that there is no one to free, and there is no need to worry.

Only now it is impossible to get used to this methodology of the cold -blooded, ruthless, inhuman appeal of the Russian leadership with the Russian people, and a brief video, as if mounted with the predictable indifferent comment, makes a particularly oppressive impression. Generals could at least mock, without entering into a dialogue with the Islamic state prohibited in the Russian Federation, but they are as cruel as they are talkative. Our main military secret is easily pulled out.
