Commentary by Russian blogger Donetsk

[DonRF] Today is not about events. No change on the Western Front. They shelled the Donbass and Bryansk region, we shelled Ochakov and Kharkov, in Maryinka, as Sladkov proudly reports, the advance was 400 meters.

No change in one word. The changes are more in the media. Where the respected Murz found the positive. I wrote different things. I will modestly keep silent, and just lay out a set of quotes from my beloved author, the Great War, who survived what is described below, plunged into perestroika in order to fix it and prevent it from happening in the future, and then, seeing the fruits of his deeds, including his own, shot himself, preferred otherworldly hell to hell earthly. Moreover, he was already on earth:
Murz is the call sign for Russian military correspondent Andrey Morozov.

The author quoted below is Vladislav Leonidovich Kondratev, a Soviet military correspondent from WWII.


On the second night of the march, they turned off the highway for a while, and villages began to come across, untouched by the Germans, alive, with smoke from the chimneys, with trodden paths. In one of them the guys saw a light in the barn and decided to go in for a minute - to smoke a cigarette in the warmth. Konshin opened the door and ... The huge dilapidated shed was packed with the wounded lying on the floor. In the middle is a red-hot furnace. Crimson light came from her and bloody fell on people. At the stove is a woman in military uniform, either a doctor or a paramedic,

and even considered himself ready:

And Konshin really believes that their Separate, and even Special, rifle brigade, almost all of the personnel officers, although exhausted by the road, will ask the Germans. After all, it’s great - in each platoon there are a dozen PCA, about fifteen self-loading SVTs, two anti-tank rifles, each with two "lemons" and one RGD - this is power!

until he faced the realities:

- What, there is no more bread in Russia? We fought, so ...

- Put aside the talk! Konshin thunders. - War! Don't you understand, it's war!

- War... War has nothing to do with it. Why didn’t they put us on allowance in Maloyaroslavets? Also war? There is no order - that's what. The Red Army soldiers begged for potatoes from the women, after the Germans were devastated ... Shame! All balakali: at the front, feeding will be with fat. Where is he, bastard? Half a pot of millet and a piece of bread...


from the lack of grub to what Murz describes:

- It's incomparable, Comrade Commander. Everything is already known. Do you know what strikes in the war?

- What?

“We don’t think much in the war ... Much was at random, at random. Come on, come on! And on this "come on" you will not go far. - After a pause, he adds: - No skill yet. No


Well, and amazing supplies:

Then he goes down to the dugout and asks the battalion commander for binoculars - the company commanders did not have enough of them for the formation, only they were given to the authorities.

until the end of the first offensive:

Five people remained from Pakhomov’s squad - three were killed, four were wounded.

What did I bring all this to? Why did something have to change? Why would it? The jump didn't work. What will happen next. And you can rejoice at the progress of 400 meters, you can read Murz and get hysterical, and this is exactly what many did, although the author wanted to say something else, it seems to me that you can just do your little business.

Times are not chosen, and there is something to eat. There will be no other. And there was, by and large, the memories of the participants in past wars will not let you lie. But the thing is, 50 years will pass after the SVO, and many beautiful books will be written and many heroic films will be made. Whoever wins will shoot. And the new generation will wait for order, supplies, SIBZ and Hindenburgs at the head ...

History is a spiral. And somewhere in Donetsk they will keep the sign "Shelter", and they will talk about the blockade of the city. And the horror and hopelessness will be forgotten, they will leave with the veterans.
