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.
Great read, speciba!
Thanks and best there
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.
