i was watching some of the videos made by 'innocent' russians after the recent Ukrainian drone strikes and listened to all them wail how 'regular people are not involved and shouldn't be suffering', 'i'm so far from politics and am not involved into this war so why am i suffering'
so i decided to sit down and think about how this war that russia started to destroy Ukraine affected me besides the obvious things like suffering from air strikes daily or being force to relocate abroad. so here's the list
- my home town of Kherson was occupied and is now under constant bombings and citizens are suffering from the human safari that russians do for fun and love of suffering - the theater where i performed and visited as a child - was hiе by a bomb - the maternity hospital where i was born was hit by a bomb - a relative of mine was killed by rocket strike - my uncle's family had to escape their village because russians were coming for them since he was a former military and all military people and their families were primary targets for russians to interrogate, torture and kill - my godmother's and another uncle's family had to do the same for the same reason - both of those villages are still occupied to this day - multiple houses in my neighborhood including my own house one way or another were damaged by shelling or explosions
so yeah, when they say 'i'm not in any way connected to this war' - think again. somebody you know, your family, your relatives, you friends, your colleagues, their families, their friends - someone is one way or another is involved with this war. military operations and supporting infrastructures are not operated by empty rooms or faceless ghosts, or putin's clones. they are all living breathing human beings that KNOW what they are doing. they made a conscious choice to do it and they've been doing it since day one with no remorse. that's why i'm not sorry for them and they are not innocent. and i will never forgive them
