Russian media declared anti -asthemical medicine by the "combat drug" of Ukrainian nationalists, causing a special rage

TASS in the material under the heading “Planny spoke about the use by Ukrainian military drugs before the battle” writes :

“The Donbass’s prisoner, the Donbass battalion said that special drugs were supplied to the Ukrainian military, which they took before the battle, which made them fear and the pain threshold was reduced.

“I know about one drug - 'Theophydrin,” the volunteers supplied it. We used it immediately before the battle, after which we lost fear. <...> We could go into battle calmly, not afraid of anything. Strong, of course, breaking after him. <...> But we retreated, worried, ”said the prisoner of war, which distributed on Thursday of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

According to the prisoner Ukrainian, most often such drugs are used by the military from the Volunteer battalions “Donbass”, “Azov”, “Aydar” ”.

As all sorts of gossip is supposed to, this news immediately began to acquire a gigantic scale and grow in details. But this time one of the authors of the “modified version” is known, which happens infrequently. “Vesti” the day after the publication of TASS published the material under the heading “Vodolatsky saw drugs that cause rage in the backpacks of“ Azovites ”, which says:

“Ukrainian nationalists blocked at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol are sitting on drugs dulling pain and causing severe aggression. As soon as the drugs end, they will surrender, according to the First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots Viktor Vodolatsky. <...>

Vodolatsky said that he saw 300 grams and more special drugs in the backpacks of the dead nationalists, especially the Azovites, TASS reports. The supply of drugs will end - breaking will begin, then they will go to give up. The parliamentarian said that tablets were supplied to Ukraine as part of assistance from Western countries. But this help is specific, the deputy was damp, antihistamines are also put into the kit so that the nationalists, God forbid, do not die ahead of time from pills. ”

It is curious that the “news” refers to TASS, where these details are not.

Where the captivated fighter of Donbass could know that they are accepted in Azov and Aydar, it is not clear. But substances called Theophydrin do not exist. There is a theofedrin - produced both in Ukraine and in Russia, an anti -asthemical medicine that relaxes the smooth muscle of the bronchi. In addition, this tool has a stimulating effect on the heart muscle, enhances coronary blood flow and gives a soft diuretic effect. The latter in battle, according to TASS, is probably especially necessary.

It is known that in the 20th century, narcotic drugs, in particular, amphetamine, were used in the armies of different states to increase the tone and performance of soldiers, and relieve fatigue. But as for some special rage caused by substances, perhaps the authors of the message were influenced by an unconfirmed version of fly agaric, who made the ancients-Kamanavian berserkers frantic in battle.
