If you continue to pay attention to Russian and Ukrainian news, you will probably always be amused by the various "high emotional intelligence" behaviors of Ukrainian politicians.
For example, recently, when Ukraine was asking for help from Germany, the mayor of Chernigov came up with a wonderful entry point in order to make the Germans empathize with them. He told the German media present: "We have a tomb of Nazi soldiers in our city, and the Russian army is shelling the grave of your grandfather!"
German reporters present were confused.
You said that sei's grandfather was a Nazi, you were the Nazi, and your whole family was Nazi! !
Similar operations have not been once or twice. In the past or two months, people on the Ukrainian government have always been able to magically pull the moral bottom line to Hitler's level, and then persuade the Westerners who support them to retreat without any hesitation. The red rabbit among people and the horse among horses are Lu Bu .
For example, after the Russian army conquered a Ukrainian position recently, a girl's body was found inside. One of the hands of the body was gone. The most shocking thing was that there were countless Nazi symbols carved from the knife edge on the belly of the body.
We can hardly imagine what kind of abuse this girl suffered during her lifetime.
For many people, this war broke out more than a month ago.
But in fact, for the people in Dongwu, this nightmare war has happened for many years, and similar operations that make people feel that they should appear in World War II period have been staged countless times around them.
is just right. Pumpkin recently watched a Russian movie in 2021 called "Shock Sunshine" . Through the experiences of three veterans, it reflects the story of the conflict in the Luhansk region.
Because Russia does not have strong voice, this film is very well-known, and the subtitles I watch are all copied by phone.
But as long as you compare the news, you will find that this movie a year ago was extremely realistic, and it has long explained why today's situation is like this.
The story in the movie takes place in 2014 Luhansk Oblast in Ukraine.
This is exactly when the conflict in East and Ukraine intensifies. Because most of the residents here speak Russian, after Ukrainian pro-Nazi sentiment was high, this place became a place where the Ukrainian government often bombed and harassed.
As soon as the movie started, several people with guns jumped out of a car and walked straight into the houses of several civilians.
The male owner of the family saw the gun and instinctively began to retreat, but the other party raised his hand and shot it directly to knock the male owner to the ground, and then put a shovel in front of him, naturally snatching the male owner's watch.
The hostess in the room heard the gunshot and was so scared that he screamed and retreated into the room, but the cruel murderer did not let her go. He pulled the hostess' hair backwards into the room to rape it, and killed the crying child.
The other team is no different. They did not hesitate to refill pregnant women in the stomach, which also shows that this is not the first time they have done such a thing.
From the look of dressing up, these people are the so-called "anti-Russian armed volunteers" formed by the Ukrainian government. These people were originally all kinds of criminal gangs. After Ukrainian politicians and oligarchs wanted to deal with Russia, they invested to attract these people to the front line.
Every time the Ukrainian government forces bombard the local area, these people would sneak into Dongwu in their cars, burn, kill, loot like vultures, and then go away.
In reality, the biggest funder behind these people is Kolomoiski. He is a Ukrainian oligarch. Among the various groups he sponsors, there is a name that is now familiar to everyone, which is "Azov Camp".
Then, the camera turned and the movie's No. 1 protagonist Vlad appeared.
He is a Ukrainian Soviet veteran. He was traumatized in the Afghan war and always wanted to stay away from the war.
So, when the Ukrainian color revolutionary government came to power and conflict broke out in the East Ukrainian region, his first reaction as a pro-Russian faction was not to join the resistance organization, but to take his family to Russia.
However, they passed by the village that had just been slaughtered halfway through. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw the male owner lying in a pool of blood. When his son went to fetch water, he saw the body of the female owner lying down from the well.
Vlad realized that something was wrong, and sure enough, the person who committed the crime had not yet gone far.
A few gunshots were heard, and Vlad saw the thugs killing people from several other cars who were in a team with him to escape.
The main road can no longer be returned. Vlad carefully took his family to take a detour and found a broken car. He also rescued a little girl who was hiding and finally escaped.
But in this way, their ID documents were gone, so when passing the checkpoint, Vlad's family was taken to the Luhansk National Army headquarters by local militia to verify their identity.
Here, Vlad bumped into the second male lead in the film - Luhansk National Army Commander Pasha .
Pasha is also a veteran of the Soviet army, but unlike Vlad, after the government came to power after the Ukrainian color revolution, he decisively joined the local militia organization and fought on the front line.
Pasha told Vlad that the border is now controlled by Ukrainian government forces and they do not allow civilians to leave. Vlad and his family can only live here temporarily.
Just while chatting, Pasha was still assembling the pistol, but it didn't do it for a long time. Vlad couldn't help but remind him - "The spring is installed in reverse."
This sentence suddenly revealed that Vlad had experience in joining the army. Pasha directly asked Vlad's army number, and the hands of the two veterans were tightly held together.
Pasha sincerely asked Vlad for help. Because the conflict intensified, he needed experienced people very much. Many civilians who came to help couldn't even shoot, so they could not get involved in the war.
But Vlad still didn't want to take the gun anymore. He just promised to help drive an ambulance to save people, because he loved his wife and children, and he didn't want his family to be frightened by him anymore.
On the evening, when Vlad went to Pasha’s house for dinner, Pasha’s father was complaining. He said that I think people in Kiev are just pretending to be stupid, they just want to join EU .
We have been incorporated into Europe for more than seven months, but when was that? That was when the Germans occupied Ukraine. At that time, Luhansk was still called Voroshilovgrad . The newspaper said that only the power of German can bring progress to Ukrainian ! The Germans are the saviors!
Pasha said helplessly, Dad, everything is going to happen again now.
Pasha's father immediately interrupted, what are you talking about? At that time, the Germans were fighting with us, and now it is a time of peace. Will those people in Kiev bomb us?
Pasha's father didn't expect that he was right. Kiev treated Ukrainian civilians in the way that Nazis were back then.
During this period, Vlad became an ambulance driver, but the tragic scenes he saw every time he went on a mission deeply questioned his heart:
The headquarters of the Luhansk National Army was bombed, and Pasha was almost dead;
The children singing in school were bombed, they were broken into pieces, and the seriously injured teacher was mentally ill. He kept muttering over and over that the children were waiting for me to teach them, while trying to get out of the ambulance.
More times, before Vlad's ambulance arrived, the civilians who were bombed or attacked had already died at the scene.
Any random shell is enough to completely disappear from the world by those families who were as happy as him. Vlad, who was driving an ambulance, could only watch all this happen in front of him, but could not do anything.
When Vlad's son said passionately that he wanted to stay and join the army, Vlad's suppressed emotions erupted. He grabbed his son's collar and shouted:
War is not a house, it is not as full of heroism as in the movie. Have you figured it out? The most painful thing about war is not that you will die, but that you don’t know when you will die. It’s that you watch your friends die in front of you and you can’t do anything!
Although the idea of protecting the family still firmly gained the upper hand, it can be seen that Vlad's heart has been shaken violently in the fierce war.
Also changed by Vlad by this war are the third Soviet army veteran in the movie.
His name is Alexei , and he lives in Kyiv.
Alexei first appeared in a movie, in a restaurant in Kiev.
Here, Alexei, like other ordinary people, cannot see the truth about the tragic situation in Dongwu, because the news from Ukraine and Western media on TV always tells everyone that the separatist forces in Dongwu are terrorists, and they throw moor bottles on the streets have caused so many deaths.
As for the news that the Ukrainian government forces massacred local people, there is no news.
Walking on the street, the innocent young Ukrainians were as happy as the New Year, wearing the Ukrainian flag, shouting, "Glory belongs to Ukraine, salutes to the heroes."
This sentence is actually a slogan of Ukraine's pro-Nazi regime during World War II, but these young people are not interested in exploring history. They only know that the people who shouted this slogan "resisted the Russians" and think that those people are "heroes", so they shouted slogans.
Alexey is different from Vlad. He originally had a family member, but after divorce, he couldn't contact his children. He himself wouldn't do anything except war. He always felt like he was doing nothing every day.
So when he saw the Ukrainian government saying he wanted to recruit an instructor for the civilian armed forces, he signed up.
But on the way to the military camp, Alexey realized something was wrong:
These recruits were shaved with big gold chains and tattoos. They opened their mouths and showed off that they had once cut off the civilians in Dongwu. They were not like soldiers at all, but like street gangsters.
After arriving at the military camp, there are more outrageous things.
Someone wanted to escape after joining the army, and the people in the military camp cut the man's heel tendon, so that he could never run away again;
The people in the military camp caught a young man with a ribbon tied, saying that he was a separatist, beat him to his head and bleeding, and put him in a cage, pee at him, abused him like a dog;
Funny thing is that this group of people bullying the weak looked very brave, but they were completely unorganized and disciplined when fighting. After Alexey trained them, he called them too naughty and could not lead them.
Sure enough, after being pulled onto the battlefield, the people led by Alexei happened to meet Pasha. There was a fierce battle between the two sides, Alexei's team was defeated, and Alexei himself was captured alive.
Vlad, who arrived in an ambulance, recognized Alexey as his former comrade-in-arms at a glance.
Decades have passed, and three old comrades who were in the same army have slid to three completely different life trajectories due to the various chaos after the country fell apart, and then they met again by chance. The foreshadowing laid by the movie
finally formed a complete story at this time, depicting the complexity of local conflicts to the fullest.
Alexei was not a stubborn Nazi. After becoming a prisoner, he would help save people when he saw the wounded.
In the process of saving people with Vlad, Alexey's heart was also shaken violently. He thought of his wife and children. He felt more and more that he had stood in the wrong team at the beginning and that he should not help a government that massacred his people.
The intensity of the war is getting higher and higher. During a bombing, Pasha's house was hit by a bomb. All the others died except the little girl rescued by Vlad.
. Vlad rushed to the scene and collapsed when he saw his wife and son lying in a pool of blood.
He has been avoiding the war, fleeing with his family, refusing to participate in the battle, and stopping his son from joining the army. He tried his best, just to block the war outside his home and let his family live a good life.
But he hid for a lifetime, and the war still took the life of his family!
Looking at the body of the family, Vlad widened his eyes, but couldn't cry at all.
Vlad had no choice. He found Pasha alone and said silently: "Give me a gun."
Pasha's family was gone, and he looked at the broken wall silently without saying a word. As an old warrior who resolutely resisted, all this before him would only strengthen his determination to continue to fight the neo-Nazis.
The one who breaks the defense is Alexei. In the plot of more than an hour before, this man always had a stern face and showed no expression.
But when Vlad collapsed, Alexey hid aside and cried. He felt that he was in great sin, so he picked up a gun and drank a bullet and committed suicide.
Three veterans who have different experiences and different attitudes to this conflict finally felt the same despair in the same tragedy .
In addition to the main story of the three veterans, the movie also sets a dramatic story for several supporting characters.
For example, in the volunteer soldiers organized by the Ukrainian government, there is a young man who followed the government's orders to join the army, but he has a girlfriend from Dongwu, who is pro-Russia.
In the gap between war, the young man couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness and secretly went to find his girlfriend.
He and his girlfriend both participated in the color revolution in Ukraine, but the two people's ideas were different. The young man was simple and he said whatever he said in the news. He really felt that as long as he drove away the Russians, their lives would be better.
But his girlfriend thought that the government was not good at that time, so we should work hard to change it instead of replacing it with a worse government.
Ukrainian color revolution has subverted, but the newly-employed Ukrainian government is even more unbearable. Although there are not many Russians in the town she lives in, the government still throws bombs at them without hesitation.
After learning that my boyfriend joined the army, the girl once wanted to break up with him.But when my girlfriend saw the young man coming to see her, she couldn't help but feel soft. The two hugged each other and reconciled.
Just when everyone thought that this young couple could finally be reunited, a shell caught fire by the two of them. The person who fired the fire was the young man's volunteer soldiers' comrades, and the reason why they fired the fire was just because they were too bored and had nothing to do.
Two couples who could have been happy were just corpses on the street.
And the young man who was abused in a cage. Not only did he not die, he also escaped. He struggled to escape home amid the sound of flowers and rumbling artillery fire. The symbolic meaning of the entire scene is very obvious.
There is also the little girl rescued by Vlad, her name is Katyusha.
When she was painting at Pasha's house, someone looked at her painting and asked curiously: "Katyusha, why is your sun black?"
The meaning of this plot is also very straightforward.
In the world of children, she couldn't understand why adults wanted to fight, but what she knew was that those wars and massacres made her world completely lose its luster. Even if the sun she drew was painted yellow with a watercolor pen, it would not be possible to heal her inner trauma.
The whole film has many bloody scenes, and the whole process lasts for more than two hours, almost always filled with a sense of despair that cannot be resolved, making people unable to see any hope and breathless.
At the end of the movie, a mastermind who obviously wears the US military uniform is still inspiring the Ukrainian government to invest more troops to continue the war.
Behind him are the mercenary created by the US military and CIA. The US military is planning to send these well-equipped troops to the front line and completely destroy the resistance forces in Dongwu.
But just as the Lugansk National Army was suffering more and more casualties and was about to be unable to hold on, a armored force that was not marked, but was obviously dressed as Russian troops. also came.
Since then, this story of despair has finally had a little bit of light, and the whole film has come to an end.
In fact, in addition to this film made in Russia, the Ukrainian film and television team also cooperated with Westerners and also made movies about the conflict in Dongwu.
In the movie, both sides are expressing their positions and condemning the other party as a bad person.
But if you compare reality, you will find that this Russian movie is relatively more objective and real.
The movie is made of the story of 2014. In 2015, a French female journalist, Bonel , made a documentary called "Donbas", which also reflects how the people in the Dongwu region were massacred by extremists in recent years. This movie has been translated and uploaded by the B station.
In the documentary, a young mother shows her child wearing a bandage. At that time, the Wujun's artillery fire broke the stroller. It was a blessing that she and the child could survive.
In order to avoid artillery fire from the Ukrainian government army, many elderly and children hid in the air-raid shelter for several years and never saw the sun.
A woman pulled the child to the camera and asked, "Look at these children, are they terrorists?"
As for the operation of shooting children in the movie and deliberately hitting pregnant women to play, it is common in documentaries.
If you compare the documentary filmed by French journalists with "Shock Sunshine" together, you will find that the lives of Dongwu people in the documentary are much worse than those in artistic creation.
movie has only been desperate for more than two hours, but the people of Dongwu have been living in such days for more than 8 years.
html For 18 years, they have lived like ants, accidentally throwing their lives away, or hiding in the air-raid shelter whenever there is any movement, and are in panic all day long.
years, the so-called "international community" has never seen them in person once, and the so-called "anti-war figures" have never called on the Ukrainian government to reflect on it and not bomb civilian areas.
When Bonaire first found everyone, these refugees were very suspicious. They did not believe that any media dared to send out their experiences and always asked repeatedly: "Will you really send out all this?"
Because of what extremists do in Dongwu, Western journalists have always turned a blind eye to them. These ordinary people doubted that the press conference that came to interview them was the same as other Western journalists.
Unfortunately, this documentary was quietly hidden, as if it did not exist.
It was not until recently that the documentary was re-released. Bonaire stood up and said, "I'm sorry to shock the audience, but the fact is that the Ukrainian army bombed their own people." Many French people were in an uproar and called the reporter "rumor" and pushed her name to the top of the hot search in Twitter French area.
Similarly, the Russian movie "Sunshine" is also very low.
But "Donbas" co-produced by Ukraine and the West can be used on Cannes Film Festival , nominated and won the award.
It is precisely because of the years of indulgence of Western media that Ukraine did not even pretend to behave in the pro-Nazi matter and did the smart extinguishing operations we mentioned at the beginning.
On this year's Women's Day , the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent a promotional photo of Ukrainian female soldiers. As a result, all the female soldiers in the picture wore the Nazi symbol "Black Sun".
Foreign netizens pointed out the problem in the comment area, but they still insisted on not deleting the post.
When Ukrainian neo-Nazi group Azov Camp also made a similar operation to German journalists when he asked Japan for help. They said:
"Although the city has become a ruin, we will fight to the last moment! You Japanese must understand us!"
Unfortunately, this person probably made a mistake in the era. If the Japanese and abandoned lords hear him, they will probably only curse him for a few words, and then continue to play with their second-dimensional wives.
In the past month, those Western media who had pretended to be dead have been resurrected. While shouting about anti-war, they also attempt to "shape the correct collective memory."
However, the collective memory they want to shape is so much science fiction that they themselves cannot justify themselves, with many contradictions and slaps themselves.
There is a big American right-wing V who is anti-Russia, but even when she commented on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, she couldn't help but feel that the Ukrainian government was too bad, so she said in the article "The Ukrainian government is corrupt."
"New York Times " was anxious at first sight and quickly sent an email to question her: Why do you say Ukraine is corrupt? Why do you speak so much like the propaganda caliber of the Russian official media?
This big V was confused: What? ? ?
I said it based on your article in the New York Times? Didn’t you say that the Ukrainian government is corrupt? !
As she said that, she dumped a link to the New York Times article in 2016, with the title saying "The stubborn disease of corruption in Ukraine."
Good guy! There was a deviation in the report, what kind of corruption is there? No matter how corrupt the Ukrainian government is, it cannot be corrupt at this time! It is recommended that the New York Times quickly establish the Ministry of Truth and take back the newspapers for 16 years and burn them!
Western governments usually like to be politically correct, and when they mention the Nazis, they are gritting their teeth.
As a result, facing the revived Ukraine of the Nazis, they showed a very flexible moral bottom line.
For example, Facebook recently relaxed the anti-hate speech regulations originally formulated on , allowing users to launch death curses and cyber-raids against leaders of Russia and Belarus , and said that "can praise the Azov Camp to a limited extent."
The United States used to be the one who defeated the evil Nazis in World War II and saved the world.
Can 2021 United Nations "Opposing Beautification of Nazism" resolution was passed with the support of 130 countries, the only two countries in the world that voted against it, one was Ukraine and the other was the United States.
When this news came out before, everyone didn't know why, and they didn't understand why the American Binji always said something that opposes beautifying the Nazis, which is "violating freedom of speech" and "prone to false news".
Now things have developed to this point, and everyone finally understands that you are waiting here in the United States.
In fact, compared to the crazy Westerners, we Chinese netizens regard this matter more simply. There are not so many ideological problems. Many of us pay attention to this issue and pay attention to it only at two points.
The first point is that the Ukrainian people who have been betrayed by the government and forced to be involved in the war are so pitiful. We have suffered similar sufferings.
The second point is that if one day we want the country to be unified, the measures taken by Westerners today will be transplanted to us intact.
We really want to see in advance, where will they start and what methods will they have? We can preview it and prepare the courseware.
Movies and reality tell us that modern warfare is not just a problem at the military level. There are battlefields everywhere in public opinion, media, movies and even games.
After all, the country will be unified. In the future, we will encounter similar "war". How to completely win this battle in all-round struggle is a question we must think about.
