1/ Rapping Russian army deserters Slavik and Dimon are back with a new rap song, telling the story of how they met on the battlefield after being accidentally shelled by their own side and seeing their commanders "stupidly lay down groups in piles of corpses". ⬇️
2/ Slavik and Dimon – real names Vyacheslav Trutnev and Dmitry Ostrovsky – deserted after, they say, their company commander got drunk and ordered them to carry out a suicidal assault through minefields at night.

3/ The two men are convict soldiers, recruited from penal colonies. They say their commanders have treated them atrociously and punish those who survive after carrying out missions, on the assumption that if they are still alive they have disobeyed orders.

4/ In this, their third rap video, they say:
"A new group is coming - there are four of them /
At this time, I'm in a trench with a radio station on the air /
The "one hundred twenty" fucked up - and that's the end of the song /
"A new group is coming - there are four of them /
At this time, I'm in a trench with a radio station on the air /
The "one hundred twenty" fucked up - and that's the end of the song /
5/ "The group leader is on the line: "I have two 200 [killed]."
"I don't give a f*ck," he shouts into the radio, I'm stunned, /
And then he, the bastard, starts a new group. /
"Come on, meet me," I went out for no reason, /
That's where Slavik and Dimon met."
"I don't give a f*ck," he shouts into the radio, I'm stunned, /
And then he, the bastard, starts a new group. /
"Come on, meet me," I went out for no reason, /
That's where Slavik and Dimon met."
6/ Trutnev and Ostrovsky also give an account of why they deserted:
"We washed ourselves with blood and sweat, /
And what the hell this war is for, we still didn't understand.... /
And no mention of going home, just fuck it /
"We washed ourselves with blood and sweat, /
And what the hell this war is for, we still didn't understand.... /
And no mention of going home, just fuck it /
7/ "Throwing ourselves into the attack on the orders of an alcoholic /
No one knows how this skirmish will go /
And our patience was burning out like a match. /
Time passed, the boys left. /
Dimon and I watched everything from the side. /

Dimon and I watched everything from the side. /
8/ "How they stupidly lay down groups on piles of corpses /
Taking lives, we're like pawns here, they move us, /
They play with us, they calmly kill us ...
Reconnaissance in force, they shoot like dogs, /
He died a hero's death, here's a message to his family. /

9/ "Analyzing everything with Dimon at the position, /
We sit and watch with stunned faces. /
We send everything to fuck, we make a decision, /
To give our lives... a continuation. /
We had no other choice, /
We did not dare to die on the orders of a drunk. /

10/ "Hoping for luck, we bypass all the barriers [blocking units], /
We saved our lives and are happy about it." /end
