I draw this for the 9th May. I know I'm a bit late. Any way, I want you to know, that I'm totally against all terrible things what's happening in Russia and in Ukraine. The Victory day used to be «a "joyful" selebration, with a tears on the eyes». But now, it's nothing like that! In Russia people is selebrating only Soviet Union's victory, cursing other countries, West and Europe, saying that they are worst then Russia and our country is always be better and they're just jealous. Most of Russian people screaming such phrases like: "CAN REPEAT!" or "We are a country of winners!" and other. They even dress up kindergarten children in military tanks and planes. SERIOUSLY! WHY? I can understand «The Immortal Polk», but I can't understand this crap. That this freaks want to repeat? The Victory? The War? I will remind you! WAR IS NOT A TOY! IT'S NOT A GOD DAMN VIDEOGAME! IT IS HORRIBLE! IT IS CRUEL! IT'S A DAMN NIGHTMARE! It's not like in some sort of cool, military, action movie! It's serious! War is a tons of deaths, blood, suffering, agony, pain, despair, loses and tears! IT'S NOT! FREAKING! FUN! And now this idiots putting everywhere those Z and V (which means like "Za nashih/Rossiu!" ("For ours/Russia!") and "Sila v pravde!" (The strength is in the truth!)) WTH! This crap is not looks like Russian military support thing! It's looks like some trend, made in Tiktok. Like a fashistic symbol. It's just creepy, stupid and totally gross. But really, please don't forget it. I mean, seriously! Do not forget what war really is! Please! Do not forget how cruel were things been, back there! Please, do not forget what defiting of Hitler's nitzes cost! Please, I beg you, do not forget! Russia, stop crapping around and remember what really peaceful country does, and what nazistic country does. And for Ukraine… I wish you guys a lots of good luck, lots of courage and a lots of strength and temper. Your deal is right. I'm sure believe in you victory, as no one else. So please. Keep doing your best. You can do it you guys. You can show my country what wrong or right. And you know what's right. Go straight onwards Ukraine, do not give up. You sure got this.#9thmay #victoryday (at Saint Petersburg, Russia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdW3YOeqfg0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Bibi Love, Happy 9th to us. It feels like its been soooooooo long since the last time I have you in my arms. I miss having your head leaning on mine and vice versa. Missing you more and more each day. I just can’t wait to see you. I love you, always. ♥️

Happy 9th to US, My Bibi Love.

What we have right now and how far we have gone is indeed a hard work of both us. Such a love-hate relationship. For the coming days ahead, let’s try to be better for each other. Hand in hand and not kicking and forcing each other to do things. There are always a better way to do things and not harming people in the process.. look on that side. Nevertheless, I love you always, My Bibi Love. ❤️

His Battalion by Vasili Bykow

As most of the books about World War 2, it is sad and tragic. It is a story about the combat of the military group (battalion) who has an impossible task to complete - to fight the enemy who has better resources and location.  The orders given from the ‘above’ is absolutely absurd and suicidal. And the combat has to choose either to follow it and kill meaninglessly his people or to refuse the order and get fired.

The main emphasis is that there is a value of the human life which degrades during the war time. And moral principles which does not allow this to happen. 

The book gives many details of the situation, which helps to better understand the character and be absorbed in that horrific story. 

But, some things just NEED to be remembered. It also needs to be remembered that the casualties were from the both sides.  

Recommended to read.
