Boomerang war

April 09, 2023

Last week, as a result of an explosion in the center of St. Petersburg, military unit Vladlen Tatarsky (real name is Maxim Fomin). Today we’ll talk about how it happened and what it means for us.

Who is Tatar?

The character of our article today was a representative of the estate unique for our time-Z-Venko. Despite the name, they have little in common with the military commissars of the past-they are not accredited by the journalists of some media, but are more like freelancers who themselves extract information and trade in it. This is especially contrasting against the background of the Putin system, which throughout the entire time has built a monopoly on information - because the military commissars do not receive training muckets from the Kremlin, which made them popular. This whole situation resembles an opposition movement, only in some evil parallel universe-people are tired of lies on TV and corruption, so they listen to independent sources. And they also criticize power, but not for the fact that it wages the war, but for the fact that it leads it too “humanely”.

Violence spiral

The most counterproductive thing that can be started in this situation is to disassemble the versions of the one who could kill the Tatar, because each of them has the right to exist. This could be literally anything - the SBU operation, a successful FSB attempt to remove the impudent military commander, disassembly between the Ministry of Defense and Wagner, or revenge from an unknown loner. It is much more important to look at a large picture. The trade in violence that military commissar and authorities engage in is not free pleasure. It is impossible to leave the war only on TV, as Putin wanted to do. Those people whom the military commissars send to Ukraine do not exist in a vacuum - they are the same part of our society as you and I. And now many of them began to return - to return with crippled body and psyche, combat experience and the habit of killing. In our history, there was already a similar situation - the “dashing” nineties were a direct consequence of the Afghan war, which cultivated the estate of people for whom the value of human life is zero.

Results

The longer the war in Ukraine is, the closer our country is to the nineties, which Putin loves to scare Russians so much. Judge for yourself - the man was killed by slipping him a figurine filled with explosives, right in the center of St. Petersburg. If this is not the plot of one of the series of the “brigade”, then what? There will be more violence, and much more than ever in our recent history.
