Village of widows and conscripts: why Russians continue to support the war

< p _ngcontent-sc90 class="news-annotation">One of the Russian media made a report from the village of Ilkino, Vladimir region. Almost all the men were mobilized there. And most of the wives remained widows. But they still support the war.

About this 24 Channelsaid publicist and public figure Rostislav Murzagulov. The most surprising thing is that the death of the men did not in any way affect the attitude of their wives towards the war. They continue to choose the position of the victim and pretend that nothing depends on them.

Most remained widows

One of the locals confirmed that most of the women remained widows. At the same time, some of them are convinced that men should go to war if the “homeland” calls.

You need to know how to disassemble a machine gun and collect. Here was Afghan. Not our land, but our guys were there. So much has happened. “And now all this has come to us,” says the Russian woman.

As Murzagulov noted, inertia among Russians in general is quite high. They are afraid to tell the truth. The herd instinct controls them.

Unfortunately, Russians are very cowardly. They have not matured as a civil society. They cannot argue with their superiors and have their own position on complex issues. “They are used to acting as the boss says,” Murzagulov noted.
