We are waging war against a civilian population. This is cruelty and sadism. Sociologist Alexey Roschin, quoted by Club Z, announced this during the Russian propaganda show “Meeting Place”.
“I don’t understand what kind of a just world order we are talking about when we destroy power plants and infrastructure in Ukraine,” he said, before being frantically interrupted by the two presenters, who figuratively accused him of “climbing” in front of everyone.
But despite the offensive words, Roschin stubbornly continued: “This is cruelty and sadism, a war against the civilian population. A war against the people. As a citizen, I did not authorize the bombing of Ukrainian power plants.”
“Well, since you didn’t allow it, let’s go home,” one of the two presenters mocked.
The other continued in the same way: “Let’s pretend we have listened to your entire manifesto. Do you have something significant to share?”
Roschin started, but was immediately stopped. Even one of the guests took a stand: “You are not an expert, you are a reincarnated Smerdyakov (hero of” The Brothers Karamazov “).
“Nobody cares what you’re talking about. It’s all been discussed and long since forgotten,” added the host as Roschin watched with a big smile on his face.
But the sociologist was not the only one with a “special” opinion. Shortly before Roschin made his provocative statements, Russian historian Alexander Sitin took the floor: “The problem is that international law and the territorial integrity of a sovereign state were violated on February 24. The violated borders of the sovereign state were not Russians. So far, there are no signs that anyone is willing to negotiate with Russia on anything. For Ukraine, territorial concessions are perceived not only as impossible, but also unthinkable. “
Sitin then noted that he is inclined to accept “Vladimir Vladimirovich’s thesis that we are a people, not in a national sense, because obviously we are different peoples, but in the sense that we come from the former Soviet people”.
“In that case, it is useless to expect the people and the government of Ukraine to surrender, because we forced them to cook bacon over a candle, precisely because they were part of the former Soviet people. Geography aside, they resisted the Siege of Leningrad. They are full of hatred. For them, this is the Homeland War. They cannot be broken. “
The broadcast featured standard pro-Kremlin analysts, who repeated Putin’s main points from his statement to the Valdai Club – primarily that the hegemony of the West is over and Russia is on the threshold of a new world order.
However, their confidence was let down by military expert Viktor Olevych.
“The changes actually happened. Over the span of two years, we went from mocking Black Lives Matter to the president of Guinea-Bissau acting as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine. Before talking about changing the world order, it all changed. in our favor … Yes, the Russian president has set quite ambitious tasks for the Russian armed forces and for Russian society, but on October 28th these changes are not in Russia’s favor, we would miss the change and then we will toast “.
Despite the crude monologues of the presenters, “Meeting Place” has already invited critics of the war. The visit of former State Duma deputy Boris Nadezhdin in early September (shortly after the start of the Ukrainian counter-offensive in the Kharkiv region) attracted special attention.
In the broadcast, he criticized the invasion and declared that Russia could not win.
Meanwhile in Russia: Several speakers threw some truth grenades at the stunned TV hosts, see how those angry propagandists punched the expert who said that by destroying the infrastructure, Russia is waging a cruel and sadistic war against the civilians. He will not be invited to return. pic.twitter.com/LiHdgED63C
