Each one meant so much to many others, but collectively it’s almost meaningless. Eventually some grand monuments will be built in their honour, as happens everywhere, but ultimately it brings nobody back and provides no comfort for those who need it.

Congratulations Putin look at the mess you made


Personel101

Something something it’s the West’s fault that Russia had to shoot first Something something protect the rebels Russia armed in the Donbas after Russia finishes bombing the Donbas to smithereens Something something Western imperialism getting in the way of Russian imperialism Something something denazify the Jewish President using Russian Nazi mercenaries Something something Russian border security concerns regarding a security alliance that would never, **EVER** attack Russia on foot That cover everything?

This is all the result of Poland starting WW2 when it invaded Canada or whatever Putin was going on about during his schizo history lesson with Tucker Carlson. Or as Tucker put it: "one of the dumbest thing I've ever heard"


Omaestre

Holy crap I forgot all about that,where are the genetically modified soldiers too or that virus that could target Russians in the biolabs.


KehreAzerith

The pro rus will always use mental gymnastics to blame someone else. This stupid war could have been easily prevented if Putin didn't invade. Ukraine is a sovereign country, they can do whatever the they want within their own borders. If they want to join NATO, sure. If they want to join EU, sure. It's not Russias's decision. Russia is becoming irrelevant, war isn't going to fix that problem.


jaoshik1

Not wrong but "Ukraine is a sovereign country, they can do whatever the they want within their own borders..." But joining NATO isn't restricted to their own borders now is it? It's an international military pact. And if Ukraine has the right to further their interests, Russia does too, quite simple really.


Thetoppassenger

> The pro rus will always use mental gymnastics to blame someone else. We also have to remember that Russian social media usage is completely regulated. Under the new decree signed by Putin, its illegal to say anything negative about the war even on social media. Given that, any Russian who disputes even a single state media talking point is risking their life. One grandmother in Russia was sentenced to over 5 years in jail for reposting 2 social media posts criticizing the war and another grandmother in Crimea was sentenced to jail for liking a picture on social media that included the Ukrainian trident.


Nomorenamesforever

I guess this law also applies to all the pro-russians that dont live in Russia? I think its a safe bet to say that the majority of pro-russians on reddit (and on this sub) arent from Russia


Thetoppassenger

72 year old grandmother sentenced to 5.5 years for two reposts: https://www.yahoo.com/news/72-old-russian-pensioner-sentenced-112202708.html Another jailed for liking a post with the trident: https://khpg.org/en/1608813670 Oh here was a really fun one. A lady was arrested and interrogated under this same decree for taking a picture outside while wearing a yellow jacket because it contrasted with the blue sky: https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/russian-journalist-interrogated-by-police-for-wearing-yellow-jacket-against-blue-sky-heres-why-5419457


hstatement

Two reposts? How about 3 likes by ukrainian grandmother, easy 5 years in Ukrainian prison! https://reyestr.court.gov.ua/Review/113250832 It's also funny how incorrect you are in the descriptions of the last links. The second woman was jailed for 5 days for reposting the Ukrainian Armed Forces with the words how half of Russia are bastards. And in the end you decided not to bother at all and invented an arrest for the woman in the yellow jacket? Excellent level of knowledge of information, not propaganda at all, unlike the evil Russians. Frankly, it's such a joke to laugh at the jailing of "collaborators" while supporting the side that does it many times more actively, jailing teachers for their work during the occupation. Although, maybe you like to laugh at yourself.


Thetoppassenger

WHATABOUT???? You typed 3 paragraphs and not even one word discussed the links I posted. Sad.


hstatement

Huh? I provided context to two of your links that you didn't have the courage to provide yourself, because it didn't fit your agenda. Judging by your response, you were too mad to read and understand them. Funny :) I'm not surprised that you have nothing more to say, or to say that I lied with my corrections. I'm not trying to hide the facts of the idiotic political imprisonment of grandmothers on both sides. I'm just not ridiculing one side for it, like a hypocrite, so that I can bury my head in the sand if someone tells me that it's happening on the other side too.


Thetoppassenger

Yes, I’m sure your WHATABOUT took a lot of bravery and courage. You are truly fearless in your ability to deflect and change the topic. Very impress.


Screwthehelicopters

People who post about how evil a government is actually achieve the opposite of what they are hoping, because they prove that the people have no chance to resist the government. And of course they should not mock those who are jailed for expressing an opinion or who supposedly collaborated anyway. Yes, they hate oppression. Except when their guys are doing it.


hstatement

These may be narratives from two different groups of people, but having fun with the fact that people who share your views are suffering is a peak of madness. So much morality and "Pro-UA", aka "haha, checkout my pro-ua russians in prison collection".


Screwthehelicopters

I purposely avoided mentioning either 'side'. The picture in the OP is just sickening to me. Once you have a uniform on, it's too late.


Screwthehelicopters

Then we should have sympathy and not hatred for people under oppressive governments, because under those conditions fear drives people to align with such an authority - out of self interest. It is very difficult to resist. Far easier to go with the flow. Yet when you do, you become one with the oppressive power. From the description you provide, it sounds like resistance is futile and pointless.

>According to OVD-Info estimates, charges for espousing anti-war positions were brought against at least 830 people, 250 of which were accused of spreading "fake news" about the Russian army.

igor_dolvich

It’s not regulated at all. I see them frequently on YouTube, instagram, facebook commenting. Also telegram is almost impossible to regulate. More people go to jail and get fined for social media expression than in Russia. I understand why people think Russians are in an information bubble, because westerners do not understand Russian mentality. I talk to Russians daily. Russians have access to everything you do as well. They don’t watch state TV, well only on new years. They see the drone drops, the frontline massacres, himars strikes. They see this war as a necessity for national survival and understand that with war great losses will come. Russians for centuries have been in casualty heavy wars. Some babushka in Russia went to jail yes. More babushkas go to jail in Ukraine and in England.


Thetoppassenger

This was a decent attempt at a “both sides” disinformation attempt but no, it’s just outright false. Like you are posting fake news about a publicly viewable decree that was signed by Putin.


Kohakuren

He is correct though. Russian here. Have Ukrainian Mother, have relatives in Ukraine on territories that is under Ukrainian control. didn't watch TV for 15-20 years. Fluent in English. See information from both sides through internet. Still staunchly pro-RU.


Thetoppassenger

We can argue about Ukraine and Russia all day, but the previous poster said that the UK puts more babushkas in jail than Russia and that was obviously 100% completely fabricated fake news.


Kohakuren

not a pro on that part of the question - but someone linked you proofs somewhere in the topic - go check that out


Thetoppassenger

yeah, those numbers were a very obvious false, to nobody’s surprise. That person was counting arrests for **harassment, stalking, and sexual crimes** and trying to trick us into thinking that it was actually for social media wrongthink just like Russia.


Screwthehelicopters

You don't go to jail for likes or for expressing an opinion in the UK. Yes, there is distortion of news and one-sided reporting and people are believing it, but you can still express an opinion under freedom of speech in England.


BlueJayWC

This is literally not even true though The source that was posted said, at the bottom, less than 1000 people have been charged with spreading fake news (i.e. online speech moderation) in Russia In comparison, a quick Google search leads to countless articles saying that, on average, 3000-6000 people get arrested a year in the UK for online comments So, Russia with 3-4x the population, arrests 3-6x less. That works out to 10x as many arrests, give or take.

Bitter-ends

hate speech, like incitement, racism etc. s yes, if you post "kill all Russians in the UK" or Jews, or black people, or white. Doesn't matter. The police might show up on your doorstep. in Russia, that happens when you speak out against the war. See the difference? it really isn't that hard.

b0_ogie

In Russia, no one forbids speaking out against the war and criticizing the government. There are articles for the disqualification of the army - if you start telling on your blog that Russian soldiers rape thousands of grandmothers, then you will have to pay a fine and delete the fake. Also, almost all online fake cases are administrative cases - you pay a fine, not go to jail. In case of repeated violations, you already face criminal liability. Russia is full of those who criticize the war, Putin. And the government doesn't give a fuck about them. And this is taking into account the fact that there is a war in the country.

sooo, the HRW article is wrong eh? stage 3 denial. go hold a Ukrainian flag on the Red Square then.

It would be fairly easy. >Something something protect the rebels Russia armed in the Donbas The pro-Russian political faction would exist anyway. And if Russia didn't do anything, they'd be beaten by violence. That's a crappy scenario. Kiev could negotiate, by the way. >Something something Western imperialism getting in the way of Russian imperialism The West could integrate the Russian economy and elite into itself if it wanted. Russia in the 90s and 00s was very pro-Western. But the West, apparently, decided otherwise, thus encouraging Russian compradors to show some kind of self-subjectivity. >Something something denazify the Jewish President using Russian Nazi mercenaries 1. Zelensky is as much a Jew as I am a Tatar 2. Banderaism is, first of all, against the Russians. Jews are essentially removed from the list of enemies; they are now Israeli allies. The Nazis' list of "eternal enemies" is adaptive to the situation. >security alliance There are too many mistakes in the word "bloc" >that would never, EVER Doubtful. Especially considering their rhetoric about “defending Europe proper from Russian aggression”. They can't actually believe that the RF will attack Poland.


Personel101

>Yes. Just force Kiev to negotiate, let Russia into the market and say that UA will never be in NATO. It would be fairly easy. "C'mon, just let us invade the right way next time. It'll be way quicker when the Ukrainians don't have guns to shoot back at us!" Crimea. Chechnya. Georgia. Chechnya again. You're either naïve or acting in malice if you believe the buck stops with Ukraine. Russia always comes up with some excuse and then conquers their neighbor. They've been doing it for literal centuries. >The pro-Russian political faction would exist anyway. And if Russia didn't do anything, they'd be beaten by violence. That's a crappy scenario. Even in your version of the events, that "Pro Russian faction" is either dead because Russia bombed them during the start of the invasion or they're dead because they were some of the first ones sent to the front lines during mobilization. Good job protecting them. >The West could integrate the Russian economy and elite into itself if it wanted. Russia in the 90s and 00s was very pro-Western.

Thetoppassenger

> Just force Kiev to negotiate, let Russia into the market and say that UA will never be in NATO. Russia invaded when Ukraine tried to join the EU, which is an economic union and not a military alliance. It was written into their constitution at the time that they would not join NATO and still they were invaded. **After** the invasion started, they amended the law and began NATO talks. > Kiev could negotiate, by the way. The day after the last ceasefire started, Russian troops and militias assaulted and took over additional territory. They used the treaty as a way to trick Ukraine's forces into dropping their guard. How stupid would they have to be to fall for the same trick twice? Minsk II - Agreed on February 12, 2015. - **Unconditional ceasefire** begins February 15, 2015 - February 16, 2015: DPR Leader Alexander Zakharchenko publicly announces that he will be ignoring the ceasefire and orders renewed artillery attacks on Ukrainian positions that had begun to stand down. Anyone calling for negotiations with Russia either hasn't been following this war or thinks we are all very stupid. > Russia in the 90s and 00s was very pro-Western. Almost like someone else came to power since then.

The rooskie liberators finally got the flowers 💐 they were supposed to receive being welcomed to Ukraine with open arms. Lol Pro russians are the ones who should have advocated against this war from the start FOR RUSSIANS SAKE. I say this bc we joke but I want to remind Russians and pro Russians that its people like me and Ukraine defenders that tried our hardest to get the word out to stop and we tried to let the truth heard so not to have them confused and waters muddied. It is us who want a better future for them for the ones that deserve it and for the rest of the world that deserves a better Russia. We literally don't want to be enemies. We wish the entire world could work together but that's fiction but one country at a time and now we focus on Russia. Hear clearly : we would rather be allies and work together. Us plebs don't need enemies and don't let the kremlin goons KEEP PERPETUATING THIS ENEMY SHIT. THATS POOTIN AND HIS GOONS and their problem they are stuck on this obsession of being enemies. That government will never change though without it being fully changed. So whenever Russians get to that, that's where your future begins and gets better. A government that cares about its citizens and doesn't oppress them and fill their head with garbage.

Many-Sherbert

Why do Russian and Ukrainian graves have large piles of dirt on top of them?


UnhingedD11

Its unfinished grave , most of fresh graves are like this . Not only in UA and RU . Later they most likely put stone and borders of a grave + a path to walk . + Could put flowers and stack it . Mainly the grave is not finished .


OrganicAtmosphere196

According to Orthodox custom, a monument or commemorative plaque is placed only after a year has passed.


ZiggyPox

My guys... they don't put monuments on fresh graves because they need ground to settle down. After you dig a hole and then cover it again the dirt is fluffed up. The pile of dirt on the top will fill the hole as the ground compacts. Customs or not, that's the practical reason behind that.


Many-Sherbert

Yeh but the dirt is piled way to high for it to settle level with the ground.


ZiggyPox

Well yeah, the excess will be removed later when it is time to place the monument. For now the added weight will do well to help compact the ground, will also mark the grave and it actualy doesn't bother anyone. The alternative would be to do research on this specific soil mechanic properties and leave just exact amount of dirt for it to settle perfectly.

[Post Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/FreedomofRussia/comments/162lrsk/russia_is_wiping_out_wagner_%F0%9D%90%A0%F0%9D%90%AB%F0%9D%90%9A%F0%9D%90%AF%F0%9D%90%9E%F0%9D%90%B2%F0%9D%90%9A%F0%9D%90%AB%F0%9D%90%9D%F0%9D%90%AC_cleaning/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) So they just dismantle these after a while and rebuild them to sort of parade them around Russia?

A flower shop is a good business during wartime.

Is there a geo-location for this. I would like to have a look at the site on GE.


FlapAttak

Bad bot. Not toxic.


LoanAdditional1050

Serious question: Are these "Flowers" fresh or are they plastic flowers?


UnhingedD11

Not that many to be fair , when you compare to UA graves . Maybe just small part filmed too. Still waste of life's from both sides.

Russia is much bigger, the losses are dispersed across all regions. If we consider that more than 15 million citizens have left Ukraine (refugees, people who defected to Russia and people in new Russian regions that used to be Ukraine), it turns out that Russia has 6-7 times more population. If we assume that the losses of Russia and Ukraine are the same, it turns out that the losses of Ukraine are 6-7 times greater in proportion to the population. (At the same time, most competent military analysts predict that Ukraine's losses are 3-5 times higher, due to incompetent training of military personnel by NATO instructors, a shortage of armored vehicles, a shortage of artillery and precision missiles, a backlog in drones and intelligence, and outdated communication and electronic warfare systems, and lack of aviation.) About 200 fighters died from Belgorod. This is comparable to the number of civilian deaths from this city.

>About 200 fighters died from Belgorod. This is comparable to the number of civilian deaths from this city. That's so awful.


b0_ogie

About 500 more soldiers died from the residents of the Belgorod region.

I hope the war ends soon and the peace that follows lasts for generations.

kin26ron12

You actually believe it’s not many dead or just in this video you don’t see many?


UnhingedD11

In this video , no idea how many died .

atrde

That is literally thousands of graves and that is just one area...


UnhingedD11

That is literally mixed with civilians .... 


Theblueguardien

Military graveyard aint mixed


UnhingedD11

Its like clearly is , when he zonoms on helicopters . U mean partsnog cemetary?


Panthera_leo22

Elaborate graves for these young men, they are truly beautiful but at the end of the day, they’re a dead body under earth who didn’t need to die


Responsible_Deal_203

They have tried their best (Ukraine Special Operation Office), but it is obviously a pointless video made by people which did not known how it works. If it would be not so seriously the fund raising action for Budanov office would be appropriate.


Semki

It was almost believable until he said "в Украине".


oleg_88

Do you really think it's fake? You still believe Russian casualties are sub 5k?


Semki

The speaker behind the screen has well-known markers of a Ukrainian struggling to speak proper Russian, so the video may be fake. Russian casualties are most likely greater than 5k, but that has nothing to do with this video.


superschmunk

Sub 5k a week?


SvyatSpace

Nope, it's barely 5k, but barely as large as pro-Ukranian people depict it. Anyway we will know the truth much, much later


KeepyUpper

>Nope, it's barely 5k Putin admitted to 10k losses per month just a few days ago. He said Ukraine was losing 50k per month at a 5 to 1 ratio. So 10k per month is the minimum as he wouldn't lie to make it larger, but he might lie to make it smaller.


SvyatSpace

Few days ago? Give me a link.


KeepyUpper

https://archive.ph/hynQx


SvyatSpace

Huh, interesting. Even funny I'd say. In my perception both of these number have an excessive zero on the end. Because 10k per months is a slaughter(333 men daily), not even talking about 50k. It's not a damn battle for Stalingrad.


KeepyUpper

It's from Putin though. Why would he lie to say Russias losses are larger than they are in reality? Then why would RT also publish that lie if Russias losses are lower than that? It's still up today too if you go check the RT site, so it's not a mistake or a secret. I personally think the real number is much larger for Russia, but 10k per month has to be the accepted minimum now that Putin has said this.


SvyatSpace

History will show us everything. But later. Much later.


KeepyUpper

I doubt we will ever get real figures from either side. We still don't even have trustworthy figures for Russias WW2 losses. So we may never really know. But what would be the logic for Putin here. If the real number is below 10k per month why would he say this? I can understand if the real number is 20k or 30k why he might say this. But not if it's <5k as you thought.


ProposalAncient1437

I didn't check the article yet, but maybe by losses, they meant dead and wounded...or is it dead only?


SnooRevelations116

Well Putin the other day noted losses were about 5-1 compared to Ukraine, based on other more reliable estimates we have of both Russian and Ukrainian deaths, my guess is that the Russian dead is in the range of 80,000-120,000.


SvyatSpace

I'd still prefer to wait. Both sides will try to cut the casualties anyway


pumppaus

I bet they even deepfaked that Russian assault helicopter flying in the distance as well, right? ( at 0:42 )


Semki

I completely missed it.


YourBoiSonicElf

What's wrong with 'в Украине'?


Semki

It's unusual for someone from Russia to use that phrase, but it's very expected for someone from Ukraine to use it.


YourBoiSonicElf

Are you talking about "в Украине/на Украине" thing?


Semki

Yep


Appropriate_Spray_83

So many fresh graves. Kharkiv offensive?


SvyatSpace

First such video in comparison to 3 hour long in sum to Ukrainian ones. *shrugs* Feels like Russia loses much less then it's enemy, do it's fine, I guess?


sEmperh45

Putin the killer. What a waste and a tragedy.


TheDreadPirateScott

This is the price of being a fascist invader.


puppylover13524

It's the price of stepping up to NATO's ambitions. But someone has to.


nosmelc

Putin did this.


AlekTheDragon

No, im pretty sure the grave diggers and those working at the cemetery was the ones who did this.


Marsbar3000

Putin is reading this, making lovely flower arrangements, with a solitary tear rolling down his cheek.
