The same thing happened to me as with Ukraine: I lived, did not touch anyone and just wanted us to have a legal state where the law is respected, human rights where people are not killed, and the opposition are not shooting on the bridge, and they do not plant for Facebook posts for four years. I did not come to the state of Russia, the state of Russia came to me, killed and planted my friends, and squeezed me out of the country.

Arkady Babchenko about the fear of death. The Question , 2017
It is always scary to die. And twenty years ago, and now, and, I suspect, even after a hundred. Only scary differently.
<...>
Now fear is already different. Not so sharp. Somehow I got tired, or something ... Now, at least, I have already extended my family. This thread of life will not be torn. After all, what is immortality, if not our children, right? We continue in them. So, at least for this I am calm.
But it’s scary that you will not see how your child grows. You can never hug again. And my daughter can never hug you. This is already a pity.
But there is nothing to be done. The costs of the profession. We must be aware of this. You need to understand that you have this work - if necessary, to die with these people.
<...>
By the age of forty, all this does not work. By the forty years, you generally become more careful.
For example, for the third year I can’t force myself to go to war again.
At one time I was a good soldier. I got to this stage.
And now I'm a bad soldier. I want to live more than to die.

“Well, you killed the political journalist Pavel Sheremet, so what? I don’t know who exactly “you”, with what motives and from which country, but-that’s now? What danger have you eliminated? What will change? Will public opinion change somehow? What, the freedom that he defended will become less valuable in the eyes of those in whom it is almost the most important value? The dictatorship that he hated and fought with-in his Belarus, and in Russia, and in forced emigration to Ukraine-what will be acquired in someone’s eyes? Will the country's development vector change or what? Yes, something we fused with this Europe, come on, brothers, again back under the wing of Muscovy-so what? ”
