thanks for the article. we have problems here in the US but nothing like this. I am reminded of two things - the waves of Soviet soldiers throwing themselves into machine gun fire during WWII, and the Dirlewanger Brigade of the SS, made up of the most debased criminals one could imagine. I guess people keep trying what might work for their ends. Man is a wolf to man.
Yeah, that passage really struck me as well about the guys marching into machine gun fire. I thought of going over the trenches in World War One. I love this phrase: "Man is a wolf to man."
Damn, I wonder if Russian art, media and literature will talk about this in 20-30 years. From what I hear Russia is either pretty nice or a hell hole depending on your luck.

Well I guess that’s one side of that story. There are others.
That is true, it's a big complicated situation there with a lot of angles. Best there Daniel.
What’s the other side of the story?

Good point - the Russian writers certainly have a dry sense of humor, which You can read in this excerpt.
The surprise for me was the large number of Oligarch supported private militia groups operating all over the world.
Wagner was in Africa before coming to Ukraine
Yeah, a glimpse at part of the future of war perhaps? Definitely, a rise of a lot of militias since the invasion of Iraq in the noughties.
Great read, speciba!
Thanks and best there
