While the Russian military-political command tells its society about 6,000 dead during the “special operation”, every major city temporarily occupied territories or in Russia hundreds of torn remains of the occupiers are buried. The cemeteries of almost all settlements in Russia have grown exponentially.
According to Channel 24 sources in the Ukrainian special services, the Russian leadership does not disdain any methods to hide the losses in the war among its population. At the same time, the main thing for Putin is not to create a feeling of a small number of dead, but to make sure that relatives do not find out about the fate of their sons and parents.
The Russians have long ceased to believe in fables about several thousand dead, but they normally relate to the fact that someone they do not know is dying. When relatives and friends are secretly buried somewhere not in their native cities, but in temporarily occupied territories, the social contract between the authorities and the population is not violated. Mass Burial Grounds” name=”Sevastopol Turned into Mass Burial Grounds”>Sevastopol has become a mass grave site
- From the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russian commanders and soldiers tried not to carry away the bodies of their dead comrades in arms. However, in some places, the remains were nevertheless taken out of the battlefield.
- In such cases, the Russians usually did not return the “two hundred” to their native cities, but buried them in the nearest settlements chosen by the command. Only sometimes, when the commanders decided to recognize one or another war criminal as officially dead, the zinc coffin was sent to the outback to be handed over to relatives. in Kursk and Belgorod.Later, when the Russians received a hat each in the North, there was no need to carry out mass graves in these cities. At the same time, the “over-twenties” in the East were buried in Donetsk and Lugansk.
- Sevastopol became the hub of burial places for Russians, militants and those mobilized in the South of Ukraine. It was there that the invaders brought those bodies of the liquidated, which, in spite of everything, were taken from the battlefield. Those who died of wounds in Crimean hospitals were also buried there.
In total, according to the Ukrainian special services, in the occupied Ukrainian city, where the Russian Black Sea Fleet is temporarily based, during the 8 months of the war, almost 30 thousand representatives of the invader troops were buried. They were buried a hundred kilometers from their house in Sevastopol >not only regular Russian occupiers and conscripts, but also militants and those mobilized from Donbass.This trend continues to this day.
The generals sent down the order not to carry out the identification of the dead. The bodies of residents of the occupied territories of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, Kherson and Zaporizhia directions, Russian invaders almost never took out. However, in some places the wounded were actually taken to the Crimea, where, however, the doctors did not treat anyone. The further path of the terrorists is quite understandable – the mutilated bodies of the militants were taken out at night to the cemeteries of Sevastopol, where they were quietly buried in nameless graves.
The Russian military, who managed to get a piece of land with an area of two square meters from the state, were hidden with signs. However, relatives were usually told that everything was fine with the occupier. Or they reported that he was missing.
Thus, representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense got the opportunity to steal hundreds of millions, which the state allocated for compensation to families. In addition, the generals avoided additional burden on the logistics system, because the bodies of the dead did not have to be transported thousands of kilometers to their native hinterlands.
Thousands of places reserved for mobilized people at cemeteries in Russia
< p> Even despite the fact that the invaders are trying to hide the extent of the losses, thousands of new graves have appeared in the cemeteries of Russia in 8 months. In addition, representatives of local authorities in all regions are constantly engaged in booking places in cemeteries for those soldiers who manage to return home in a coffin, and not be eaten by dogs in the Ukrainian steppe.
Because of such a reservation, Russian civilians faced with the inability to carry out the burial of their relatives. For places in many cemeteries have run out, and free ones have been reserved for partially mobilized people, who, undoubtedly, will soon be brought to all Russian cities by the thousands. After all, due to the transfer of a large amount of “cannon fodder” to the front, the losses of the invading troops will constantly grow.
