Last evening, near Karl Marx monument on the Revolution square in downtown of Moscow, a Molotov coctail torched a Russian Guard's vehicle (there are always several police buses parked there). The paddy wagon burned for a couple of minutes and was partially charred, then it was extinguished.
The attacker of that paddy wagon yesterday was detained nearby. Telegram channel ASTRA writes that
it was an anti-war action of a graduate of the Faculty of Philosophy of the Russian State University for the Humanities. His name is Vitaly Koltsov, to throw a Molotov cocktail he went in a suit and with a suitcase. Before it, he published a poetry about fiery hearts that illuminate the darkness:
If the day goes out forever - our glory will not fade
Death is given only once, we will choose it as we like
To see in the end how the desert lit up
Rising luminary of our fiery hearts
Vitaly Koltsov is the father of three children. A criminal case was initiated against him under Art. 317 of the Criminal Code (encroachment on the life of a law enforcement officer). Нe faces up to 20 years of prison.
Тhe evening before May Day, all online surveillance cameras
were offed in the downtown of Tver - both on the city administration's website, and from private providers. Then turned out it was for putting up "Fuck the war" posters on the streets by unknown activists. During the day the cameras resumed work.
Thе same night in Perm anarchists dropped the banner "Peace to huts, war to palaces" and decorated with paint one of the Z-billboards. Next time they
promised to commit such vandalism more aptly and on a larger scale.
And there is more and more evidence of the unwillingness to fight among those who are already in the occupying forces. The ostensibly intercepted
conversation about mass refusal to go on a new offensive in Kharkiv region was published a few days ago by the Security Service of Ukraine:
"We, in short… abandoned this fucking shit, got it? And they keep us here very tough, almost to the being shot. We want to leave, but they don't send us. He says: we were told to shoot you..."
By and large, Russia was able to successfully conduct a general mobilization only under Stalin. During the First World War, this ended badly for the authorities themselves, and they still keep the memory of this. Moreover, even if we assume that the opposition-minded urban youth gets into the RF Armed Forces, after receiving a weapon, some cop with a baton unlikely will be able to scare them, as is the case now. So let's see what option the rotting empire chooses: to accept its defeat in the Ukrainian steppes, or to use a cure worse for it than the disease...
