Give Peace a Chance II
(Continuation. See the texts of the earliest images of this series. The whole images from these series are already on my insta, but without this texts)
As I said in the story of the previous image, finally it dawned on me what’s exactly is going on right now. All the world including me is in great fear of possible starting World War III. But now we have World Anti-War I. As well of the war itself, of course. The one which already spread throughout Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Chechnya and other countries. A lot of Chechen soldiers are in the Putin’s army, which I don’t want to call Russian army and with every right. In that army now fighting Syrian mercenaries, Kadyrov’s elite units, riff-raff which early wasn’t let to join to Wagner PMC and now are very welcomed, forcibly recruited Belarus and Ukrainian guys from occupied territories. Also, there are convicts pardoned in exchange for joining and debtors whose debts was cancelled for the same deal.
To be continued…
Also, I want to speak with people about this nightmare times, to show, to see and to listen. To do something together. I think that what I’m doing now is the “photo-diary from the other side” with the unique opportunity to show life in the country when its doors are closing. So, I’m very welcome you to stay in touch with me on Insta, which now turned to the main site of the Digital Resistance in Russia in spite of becoming the outlaw social media or maybe partly because of that. As well as on other social resources. Though I’ve abandoned them for now or barely even started, but I’ll be back. Hopefully.
