A full -scale war in Ukraine will end sooner or later, at least, there is more and more actively talking about the upcoming peace negotiations. But how to live after the end of hostilities, when hundreds of thousands of military men who have seen front -line horrors return to the regions of Russia, many of whom will be psychologically unstable ? How to protect yourself from the consequences of war? Again, you should not expect the mitigation of the Kremlin’s internal policy regarding oppositional people and independent media - many experts believe that repression will only scale. Republic talked about this with a psychologist, publicist and teacher Lyudmila Petranovskaya.

"If people are able to comprehend experiences, this will poison society"

- Lyudmila Vladimirovna, what do you think of life in Russia after the war? From a psychological point of view. How to live to those who will return from the front, and to those to whom the participants in the "special operation" will return?

- So far, it is only hypothetically talking about anything, because we do not understand when and how it will end, respectively, it is not known what will happen to Russian society. But one way or another, at some point, hot actions will be stopped or suspended. There are “edges” in society, that is, people who are actively anti -war, and those who are tuned in wire. Both of them will surely be dissatisfied with the terms of the transaction [in Ukraine]. There is a number of people who earn in the war, they would like everything to continue (provided that they are safe personally).
