Anonymous Russian about the morning of August 20, 1991.
You understand, hundreds of people got weapons and felt power, and didn’t understand it was for a purpose. They thought, ‘Now I have a machine gun, I have power,’ and they didn’t understand they had a function: to fight the enemy, and not terrorize the population or rob people.
Fyodor Berezin, a deputy minister of defense of the self-declared Donetsk People’s Republic, talking about his own troops.
