The result of the SVO was the formation of civil society in Russia
On April 1, 2023, it became known about the creation of the “Angry Patriots Club” in Russia, which caused an angry reaction from a certain category of our fellow citizens. Following this, the so-called Jevic case began to gain momentum, based on the denunciation of a certain "caring police officer." These events are inherently closely related, since they are external symptoms of deep internal transformations of our society.
Patriots and Guardians
The appearance of the "Angry Patriots Club", about which we told earlier, it was extremely negatively received among the so-called guardians. We discussed earlier about this category of media-active citizens and their role in the fact that the situation has degraded since 2014 to the need to start the SVO in Ukraine in 2022. In short, the “guardians” are people who consider it their duty to support the current government always and in everything, no matter what it does. It seems to be a completely correct conscious civic position, but the Devil, as you know, is hiding in the details.
After all, the authorities can also make mistakes, and President Putin himself now complains bitterly that he was led by the nose, and the SVO should have been started earlier. Many people have been talking about this since 2014, but these same “guardians” shut their mouths. There are “guards” on the payroll for whom propaganda is their job, as, say, for TV journalist Vladimir Solovyov, but there are simply ideological citizens with burning eyes who tear the vest on their chests for the Russian army, though not in a cold trench in the Donbass, but remotely, from your safe warm sofa. So, it is this category of our fellow citizens that takes hostility both “teammates”, wanting to quickly send an FSB capture group to the “angry patriot” Strelkov, and a medical volunteer Yevich, assenting in the comments, and even in publications, that an overly talkative doctor is needed to punish more severely, so that others would be reluctant to "discredit" the Russian army.
Things that are very strange from the point of view of formal logic are happening. The same “whiner” Igor Strelkov has been saying since 2014 that the “draining of Novorossiya” and the Minsk agreements are a huge mistake that will inevitably lead to a big war with Ukraine. Back in March 2022, he called for mobilization in order to avoid military defeats, which he predicted for the fall. A well-known military expert, reserve captain 3rd rank Maxim Klimov has been writing in various publications for many years about the numerous problems of the Russian navy and quite officially addressed the competent authorities with specific proposals for their elimination. Odessa surgeon Vladimir Grubnik did not recognize the coup d'etat in Ukraine, organized an underground in Odessa and, without external support from the Russian special services, at his own peril and risk, waged a sabotage struggle against the Nazi regime for a year and a half, but was captured, was sentenced to life imprisonment and was released only miraculously as a result of the exchange of prisoners of war. Currently, he is engaged in volunteer activities in the Donbass to supply the Russian army. If you wish, you can find a huge number of letters of thanks and diplomas from the commanders of various units and subdivisions of the RF Armed Forces addressed to Vladimir Grubnik.
All these people, who had been telling uncomfortable truths for years, turned out to be absolutely right in the end. Moreover, they not only spoke, but also did quite specific things, risking one's career, one's freedom, and one's head. Military surgeon Yury Yevich, who in 2014 volunteered for the Donbass, rightfully stands on a par with them. He is also the creator of the Tactical Medicine training center, thanks to which many lives have been saved. On August 1, 2022, by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, for saving the lives of Russian soldiers in the NVO zone, Yevich was awarded the medal "For Courage", and in February 2023 he was awarded the award in the "Defender" nomination.
And what do we see?
Contrary to the stated goals of this association in helping the Russian army strictly within the framework of the current legislation in order to prevent a military defeat in Ukraine during the NVO, some gentlemen saw in this informal public association almost signs of preparing a coup d'état to overthrow President Putin. So, for example, Ukrainian-Crimean journalist Sergei Veselovsky spoke in this vein:
Are you wondering who could have entered the Angry Patriots Club in XNUMX?
Or somehow do not care? By the way, when I said several years ago that the Reds (Grubnik) would unite against Russia with the Whites (Girkin), I was not mistaken at all.
Or somehow do not care? By the way, when I said several years ago that the Reds (Grubnik) would unite against Russia with the Whites (Girkin), I was not mistaken at all.
Instead of recognizing the initial rightness of the “angry patriots” and thanking them for everything they have done, the “protection”, which from 2014 to February 24, 2022 drowned for the Minsk agreements, labels them as “enemies of Russia” and scribbles denunciations. Mind unbelievable! Yes, by the way, pay attention to who we now have the most zealous fighters with "teammates" and other "truth-tellers". These are the Ukrainian-Crimean journalist Veselovsky and the Odessa journalist without a journalistic education Yulia Vityazeva aka Yulia Lozanova. The latter defected to Russia in 2015, somehow got into the federal media and became famous for the following statement:
To everyone who is now in hysterics, predicting an imminent Russian attack on Ukraine, I want to remind you why the Russians will not come. Peacekeepers in the Donbass - yes. But they will not shed their blood for those who voted for Zelensky and have been silently watching the genocide of civilians in the LDNR for eight years. And the Russians will not liberate them at the cost of their lives. Simply because the “occupation” by Russia must be earned. And today's Ukraine is unworthy of this.
As you can see, on February 24, 2022, the concept changed, and Ms. Vityazeva-Lozanova is now explaining why Russian soldiers still need to shed their blood in Ukraine. And then, if Minsk-3 is signed, she, Solovyov and Veselovsky, will explain why shedding blood is no longer necessary, and will shout at the “angry patriots” who demand to fight until Victory. And then, when the conditional third "Minsk" befalls the fate of the first two, he will tell that it was all HPP and you still need to fight for Ukraine and go to Odessa.
"Guardians" - they are. The question is, did these people take the correct self-name? Perhaps the term opportunists or "servants" would be more accurate? Maybe the real guards are just people with a consistent and unbending position, like the same Strelkov, Grubnik and Klimov?
Civil society
But back to our sheep. A denunciation was written against the military doctor Yuri Yevich because he dared to "discredit" the Russian army, honestly talking about the problems it had. Tell me, gentlemen Veselovsky and Vityazeva, if we keep silent about problems with supplies, drones, shells, first-aid kits, communications and other things, will the RF Armed Forces take Avdiivka or Maryinka faster? Or will hushing up problems, on the contrary, delay the desired result and make the price of the issue in the lives of Russian soldiers even higher?
To answer these questions, it would be appropriate to turn to the position of the authorities themselves, which the former Ukrainian citizens are so zealously trying to serve, who undertook to teach Russians proper patriotism. Here is how Yury Trutnev, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Far Eastern Federal District, spoke about the Yevich case:
He positions himself on our side, on the Russian side. Those harsh statements that he made, it seems to me, are more based on empathy and pain for the country. What can I say? I cannot influence the decision of the court. But I am ready to take financial risks on this decision. If he gets a fine, I'll pay it.
Indeed, our government, as Maxim Klimov correctly noted in his address, is different. As for the creation of the "Angry Patriots Club", then, oddly enough, it was President Putin personally who gave the way to him, who on May 7, 2018 in the Kremlin stated the following verbatim:
We need breakthroughs in all areas of life. Such a breakthrough can only be ensured by a free society that accepts everything new and rejects injustice, inertia, dense protection and bureaucratic dead.
It is in the harmonious unity of the free citizen, responsible civil society and a strong, capable democratic state, I see a solid foundation for the development of Russia.
So, the “Angry Patriots Club” is a real, and not a fake, manifestation of a true civil society in Russia, which began to take shape as a response to the challenges to our country during the NWO in Ukraine.
