When #RussianWorld #RusskiyMir comes to you, your life gets destroyed, and everything you loved gets smashed. See what the Russians brought to Ukraine.
1: Bakhmut.
(This THREAD was inspired by @Mariana_Betsa's comparison of Mariupol before and after #RusskiyMirMeansDeath came)
@Mariana_Betsa 2. Sevyerodonetsk before and after #RusskiyMir
3. Maryinka is a proof that #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
4. Chernihiv is a city with over 1000 years of history, and a touristic magnet with all its ancient churches, and beautiful Desna river. I stayed in this hotel "Ukraine" with my colleagues in 2015, and later many times with my kids or alone. #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
5. This hotel in Zaporizhzhya was built with much passion and addressed those guests who wanted to celebrate weddings or other special days with family and friends. Of course #RusskiyMirMeansDeath could not tolerate it.
6. Svyatohirska Monastery was a saint place for hundreds of thousands of Russian-speaking members of the Russian Orthodox Church. But #RusskiyMir is about unlimited violence, not about faith. They destroyed even the places they called "sacred". Because #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
7. Mariupol was a blooming city on the Sea of Azov. Not anymore. #RusskiyMir #RusskiyMirMeansDeath
8. Izyum was a city #RusskiyMir kept under occupation for several months. I visited it after the liberation with a batch of humanitarian help, and recorded my impressions in this thread:
9. This is the essential point one needs to know about #RusskiyMir. It is about domination through unlimited violence. First moral violence, and if it does not work - physical violence. That is why the Russians love to threaten the world with their nukes. In their phantasies...
10. ...the Russians love to dream about how they will annihilate the world with the nukes. Last year, I wrote a piece for @cepa about how the Russians composed children songs about the nukes, and believed in spiritual power of the nukes. It is #RusskiyMir

11. So it is not a surprise when Putin delivers his nukes to Lukashenka, or when Medvedev posts his threats on Telegram dreaming on annihilating The Hague. It is the only way of communication #RusskiyMir developed: threats, violence, death. Because #RusskiyMirMeansDeath.
