🧶 with the controversial things seen in #AtomicHeart
Westerners probably won't understand them because they don't know the whole cultural context.
Russians will say it's just a coincidence.

But if there are too many coincidences, you can no longer call them coincidences. 1/n
One of the ethnic slurs russians use for Ukrainians is “piggs”. And there are a lot of pigs in #AtomicHeart

The player can kill them and Z symbols will appear on their bodies, which have become the equivalent of the Nazi swastika. 2/n

Together with @fiorine we are putting a narrative project. We are examining relationships of images from Ukraine and word quotes from, well, "good Russians”. #NotAllRussians 1/n Image
Context for this batch: one of the popular Russian twitter users asked his followers whether they would support the Ukrainian Armed Forces with money. The answers are puzzling yet obvious. #NotAllRussians 2/n Image
By the time we put it together, OP's account ceased to exist — probably ban by angry readers #NotAllRussians 3/n Image

You may remember all of the frequent mentions of numerous improvised torture chambers the Russians create on the occupied territories. Apparently, those who do it not only have mothers, but also call them to boast of their work. They get encouraged, no less.
#notallrussians, eh?
There is a 10 minute long video linked to the post. Its a recording of an intercepted phone call between a Russian soldier and his mother. The soldier, among other things, describes his mother the tortures conducted by Russian FSB (and abetted by him) over Ukrainian captives.
In particular, the soldier describes a torture which he nicknames "the rose". It consists of cutting the skin and muscle from fingers (and penis) in order for it to curve and open - like a rose.

And yet another #notallrussians moment. A Russian leaves a peculiar commentary on a photo with a Ukrainian kid mourning the death of his father, who died defending Irpin. To quote:
"This [censored] will grow up and will pursue vengeance. Why do you leave them alive? Didn't you have enough of whelps of these subhumans in Odesa? They must be all exterminated. Every last one of them"
And then he includes a quote from the Bible. A peculiar one, it looks like Psalm 136:9, although the numbering doesn't seem to match in English edition. 136:10, perhaps?
"Who smote Egypt with their first-born"
I've did hear that newer Western editions were very softened.

Ладно. Ок. Об этом я хочу поговорить. Именно с русскоязычными если ВДРУГ кто-то это прочтет. Не с позиции ненависти, а с позиции культурного шока.

Почему я допускаю, что комбинация 'нанес травму-компенсировал-герой' реальна. И почему хочу чтобы об этом _думали_.
->
Модель домашнего насилия в мало- и среднеобеспеченных семьях на территории РФ содержит схожую модель поведения. Группы феминисток и молодых матерей описывают истории, где мужья откупаются от жен и детей за ссоры и оскорбления. Про 'меркантильных сучек' можно часто услышать ->
2) Уже в мужских пабликах. Что свидетельствует о том, что компенсация морального, а порой и физического ущерба стороной, наносящей этот урон в культуре присутствует. По крайней мере, в части гетеронормативных семей. Такой обмен частично нормализован обоими сторонами конфликта

Чернігівська область, Старий Биків. 6 місцевих було страчено просто так. Росіяни не просто стріляли впритул, вони перерізали горло, протикали шию, били ножем в серце.
Вбиті не були військовими, тероборонівцями тощо. Росіяни просто вбивали наших людей.
Окрема історія – викрадена вчителька. Їй 25 років. Вона приїхала до батьків у село і була викрадена напередодні відступу росіян. Її досі шукають.

I want you to think about the people who committed those horrible murders of civilians in Bucha and other places that Russian military has now left.

Was that Putin?
Was that some faceless “Russian government”?

Or do those people have a name?
That wasn’t some abstract dark entity that covered Ukrainian towns and smothered everyone.

These murderers have families, workplaces, parents, hobbies and, most importantly, Russian passports.

Killing those Ukrainians with their hands bound behind their backs was a choice.
They knew what they were doing. They didn’t have to kill civilians, nobody would know, if they didn’t, even if that was an order. But they did.

Russians were there for a month and saw these corpses every day, on the streets, in cellars, in houses. Did anybody even flinch?

So, let's continue. I'm sure it will be painful and difficult(for me at least)
there is a previous part
Call Sign: Colorad (one of the russian troops names in Ukraine)
He is the pilot of the only combat aircraft in Novorossia, the Su-25 attack aircraft, repulsed by the militias from the Ukraine Air Force.
He is the “black death” for the Bandera punishers and proudly wears the call sign “KOLORAD”, which was awarded to him by the Kyiv killers.

🧵 1/19 What do Russians believe?

An exploration of my WhatsApp talks via @squad3o3 with Russians about #UkraineRussiaWar

As always, thanks to @dsmart @PeterCorless @Osinttechnical @int_osic @WarintheFuture @SpencerGuard @antoniogm and all others working to educate and inform.
2/19 The conversation starter works. It is authentic. It is curious. People do respond at a frequency I'd never have expected.

(This is in contrast this with the original prompt that told them they are being lied to, which mostly provoked explitives)
3/19 Note that all of the observations I share here are from different people, and represent different themes. There's no single overriding or generic theme, although I've encountered some things multiple times. Read on to understand more.

#NotAllRussians moment. Westerners should not deceive themselves. So called "ordinary russians" are the first people to welcome a SUCCESSFUL attack on Ukraine (as was the case with Georgia). But something went wrong, and now they do not have the comfort of bars and restaurants.
They are not interested in human lives at all. The killing of civilians (including children) is such a minor event for "ordinary russians", if they are unable to buy a bigmac.

"Only 0.0012% of you have died, and now we will not be able to buy any goods"
How can a human being compare a child's life to a lack of money?

How can a human being value money more than a child's life?

#NotAllRussians moment. Probably Ben was too drunk and didn't notice that his Moscow friends were xenophobes. This is the only way to easily miss all these "khokhols are building a dacha for me", "churki are cleaning the yard". That's a nation-based slur, FYI.
Navalny was just as young, not only when he shouted at the protests, but also when he called Georgians "rodents" and rejoiced in the occupation of Abkhazia and Ossetia.
Now the Russians are fleeing to neighboring countries. As if they did not bring the dictator to power. As if they are not to blame for this.
