MEDIA

We analyze videos that glorify war criminals or distort the reality of war. Our goal is to show how media is used to create a false heroic image and manipulate public opinion.
The disaster in the Russian army.
One of the best war journalists, Michael Nucky, released a video about why Russians don't want to go to war.
Why do I call Michael a good journalist? Because in each of his videos describing the life of Russian soldiers or their relatives in the rear, he invariably emphasizes that we are talking about criminals. Regardless of what they say in the footage (and they often say how bad it is for them that they are allegedly against the war, that they were mobilized), everyone who is in Ukraine today from Russia is a war criminal and does not deserve sympathy.

If Michael's video is dedicated to the topic of "Z"-whining about why they don't join the army and how bad it is there — I'll tell you how bad it will be for those who go there.

Our common goal is to make these people outcasts for life. Any Russian who illegally crossed the border with Ukraine should not be allowed to cross any other border for the rest of his life, primarily the borders of NATO countries (including Turkey). After the regime change, all such criminals will be stripped of the awards they received under the so-called "SVO." Their military ranks will be lowered to the ones they had at the time of February 2022. Strict control will also be introduced over what these people can post on social networks: no information about the war, except for a brief line that the person "participated in a criminal war against a sovereign state," will not be published.

The main purpose of all these measures is to show Russians who did not take part in the war or immediately deserted, without participating in hostilities, that it is their model of behavior that is valued in society; and criminals who choose the "easy way" will surely be punished.

It's a strange video.
Increasingly, journalists are turning to the topic of Russians whose relatives fought, are fighting or have already died on the territory of Ukraine in the criminal war unleashed by Russia. And every time I'm surprised by the style of the narration. The fact is that an unprepared viewer is naturally inclined to empathize with the narrator. But who are they telling us about on the screen? About families devoid of moral principles, who sent their closest people to the front like sheep to slaughter. Those whose relatives died are now trying to find meaning in this senseless war and justify it. Graves of war criminals are being turned into monuments. Of course, this will be prohibited in the future, and only the full name and years of life of the criminal can be indicated on the tombstone. They're starting to set up meeting places. In the film, it's a diner with photos of war criminals. Of course, in the future such "interest clubs" will be outlawed. And — neither at the beginning nor at the end of the film — there is no disclaimer that we are talking about criminals, about people who killed peaceful Ukrainian citizens and destroyed peaceful cities. Maybe it's better to insert into such films "picture in picture" footage from the cameras in Bucha, where soldiers shoot civilians out of impotent anger after the defeat in Gostomel, as well as photos of murdered and abducted Ukrainian children?

The opposition is creating the foundation for a new war.
7:10 a.m. — Tamara Edelman: "Someone would have the temerity to tell a child, 'No, your father is not a hero, but a criminal."I don't have one."

But if you don't say this, or even just keep silent, the child will perceive his father as a role model.
The father of this child is a criminal, a murderer, and no hero.
All soldiers who participated in this criminal war on the part of the Russian Federation should be stripped of all awards (by the way, Tamara Natanovna does not express her position on awards).
All monuments, busts, commemorative plaques, "heroic" desks should be dismantled, and streets renamed.
All criminals, in addition to awards, should be deprived of all additional payments (with the exception of disability benefits — if they really need it).
There are no monuments in cemeteries, just a standard tombstone with a full name and dates of birth and death.
No memorials.
No new "Afghan" songs like "Black Tulip".
No festivals, concerts, gatherings, or veteran clubs.
This is the only way — through shame — that this country will be able to avoid repeating what it did in Ukraine.

The drone operator after the war
20:40 — About the unborn child: "I'll bring them up right... to know who his father is... I'll show you the medal."

I have some bad news for you, a war criminal. Your child will find out that Russia started and waged this criminal war, that the country is under sanctions, pays reparations, and has covered itself with shame for many years.
Your child will find out who his father is - a criminal who took part in a criminal war, killed citizens of another country, and did not travel to the Schengen and NATO countries (including Turkey) for the rest of his life.
You will not show him any medal, you will be deprived of it.
A young guy turned into a Mutilated cripple is a wonderful image of modern Russia. Countries with no future. Countries without children, of whom fewer and fewer are being born. Countries of shame...
