“I can only say thank you for saving my life,” - a captured Russian conscript who blew himself up with a grenade in order not to surrender has confirmed that in Russia, soldiers are programmed to commit suicide, being told about the long and painful torture in captivity.
Fyodor, a conscript from St. Petersburg, told a UNIAN journalist how he blew himself up together with a comrade when the Armed Forces of Ukraine approached his position in Russia’s Kursk region.
“I took out a grenade. He [his comrade] said, “Let’s do it.” We hugged each other, threw it on the ground and said some last warm words to each other. The comrade also has a leg wound. At that point, I had already realized three times that I was closer to death. We were afraid to surrender, we didn’t know what would happen here. We were afraid that there would be long and painful torture. But considering how it is in reality now, I can only say thank you for saving my life and curing me,” he said.
According to Fyodor, he was given first aid by the Ukrainian military. They shared water and cigarettes with the prisoners and brought medicine to the wounded from other dugouts.

Back then it was almost impossible for the average Japanese person to get news not controlled by the Japanese government, but is Putin’s control over the Russian internet so effective that Russians also have no information that he doesn’t control?
It’s not about control, it’s about distrust. Totalitarian cacophony. Putin doesn’t need to make Russians trust their own media; he only needs to convince them that ALL media, everywhere, lies, all the time. The weaponization of cynicism in service to fascism.
