So russians left the small towns to the north from Kyiv and the world saw what they've don there. This could be me, this can be you if we all don't stop russia.

If you ever thought that russian culture means Tolstoy and Rachmaninov, forget about that. Tolstoy is dead. The real russian culture means a child murdered for a pair of baby shoes, or a dead nude body of woman raped several times. That is the only real thing that russia bears to the world. Here in Ukraine we always knew that. And even more, we warned all the world about that. Now we feel it again. #BuchaMassacre

The Price of Life: Europe’s Norm vs. the Cult of Death

The Price of Life: Europe’s Norm vs. the Cult of Death

Thesis. In Europe’s legal-moral universe, human life is inviolable. Salafi-jihadist terrorism and Russian state militarism (incl. affiliated mercenary/proxy structures) repeatedly instrumentalize death—through deliberate attacks on civilians, deportations, torture, and cultural spoliation. This is a matter of record, not rhetoric. ohchr.org+2hrw.org+2

1) Radical Islamist violence: terror by design

Yazidi Genocide (2014–): The UN Commission of Inquiry concluded ISIS committed genocide—killings, enslavement, sexual violence, forced conversions. A decade on, UN bodies still call for justice. ohchr.org+1

Europe’s mass attacks: Paris, Nov. 2015 (130+ murdered), claimed by ISIS; among the deadliest EU attacks in the modern era. Вікіпедія

Nice (2016): truck attack on Bastille Day; dozens killed. Vanity Fair

Boko Haram (2014–): the Chibok kidnappings; a decade later, many girls remain in captivity. Amnesty International

7 Oct 2023 (southern Israel): human rights investigators documented summary killings of civilians and hostage-taking by Hamas-led groups; elements rise to crimes against humanity. hrw.org

Bottom line: where an ideology sanctifies death and dehumanizes the “other,” mass crimes against civilians follow.

2) Russian state militarism: from the Gulag to Bucha

Historical lineage: Stalin’s engineered Holodomor (1932–33) killed millions in Ukraine; the Gulag system caused mass mortality. Encyclopedia Britannica+2Encyclopedia Britannica+2

Chechnya (1999–2009): enforced disappearances, torture, and impunity are amply documented; lack of justice fuels recurrence. Refworld+1

Syria: hospital bombings and strikes on aid convoys during the Aleppo campaign constitute war crimes. hrw.org+2Amnesty International+2

MH17 (2014): Dutch court convicted three defendants for murdering 298 passengers; investigators found Russia exercised control over separatist forces. prosecutionservice.nl+1

Full-scale invasion of Ukraine (since 2022):

Bucha: executions, torture, sexual violence; extensive investigations debunked Russian denials. Вікіпедія

Mariupol Drama Theatre (16 Mar 2022): an airstrike on a clearly marked civilian shelter (“children”)—a war crime. Amnesty International+2Amnesty International+2

Deportation of children: ICC arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin for unlawful deportation/transfer of Ukrainian children. icc-cpi.int+1

Africa (Mali): Malian troops with Wagner forces implicated in the Moura massacre of hundreds of civilians (Mar 2022). hrw.org+2Вікіпедія+2

Bottom line: a state tradition of coercive violence—domestic and expeditionary—produces systematic crimes against civilians.

Why Europe hesitates

Legal caution: politicians shy from genocide/terrorism labels pending judicial findings.

Path-dependence: decades of economic comfort dulled risk perception.

Category error: confusing rights-based tolerance with tolerance of violent ideologies.

What to do

Use precise legal terms—genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes—grounded in UN/ICC findings. ohchr.org+1

Sanctions & courts: back the ICC, universal jurisdiction cases, asset freezes of perpetrators. icc-cpi.int

Cultural security: prosecute systematic looting/erasure of heritage as war crimes. Le Monde.fr
