Unlimited space of internet showed me one phrase not so long ago. It credited with Sheikh Abdullah Azzam. Some time ago it was one of the main ideologues and masterminds of Afghan resistance to Soviet occupation. Of course, it’s hard to check the proof of a phrase, so citation reads: «Protecting your territories, keep 10 bullets in the gun, one for invader and nine for betrayers»…

So simply is Muslim without any doubts. We strongly consider that Muslim is the ethalon of uncompromising in fighting for their beliefs, according to our opinion such term as traitor in their environment is on the edge of imagination. So, how we can compare it with the postulate to leave 90% of ammunition to betrayers? This means that there is enough people for whom it could be spent for. It’s rearranged with traitors in this uncompromising environment.

And we have the same stable situation with betrayers? I would venture to say supposing that in standard understanding we don’t have betrayers. Our resistance with Russia is very hard to bring to the continuation of trivial inter-ethnic confrontation, like Ukrainian VS Russians. If everything was so simple! However we also can’t say that “serious talk” with “older brother”, delayed for a few centuries, has already matured and it’s impossible to put it off more. All is more deeply, “talk with “fraternal people” it’s only one of the aspects of civilizational crack, which laid between us, citizens of one country.  And it locates not on the demarcation line between AFU and Russian-Cossack-mercenary army of “miners and tractor-drivers”. Standard image of modern betrayer of Ukraine is the “drunk miner” (driver of route-taxi, builder, proletarian — underline whatever applicable). So, here is marginal, who snatch a machine gun, scared that he would be tear away from pipeline, connecting him with post-Soviet (read — Russian) way of life. And now not only trident, but also harmless girls in vyshivankas (National Ukrainian Shirt), wreaths and ribbons is the sign of an impending nightmare. Delete marginal and everything will be on a right place. Ok, but where to put met not so long ago old woman, who had drawn only one conclusion from our resistance with our “brothers” that number of Russian entertainment programs on TV will be reduced but she’s so like them? At the same time this madame lives on the authentic West of Ukraine and she didn’t donate any penny to Ukrainian army. Her children are in Moscow and with all of this she’s not alone there. And about treatment to gastarbeiters who will go to Moscow to work after celebrating of The Independence Day of Ukraine in vyshivankas? Trains are going from Vinnitsa to Moscow, but not only from Vinnitsa…

Can you tell me this gastarbeiters and madame are more better than our not so clever compatriots, who believe that “Russians doesn’t abandon theirs”? I don’t talk here about those who with machine guns there, it’s understood, if they have proved crimes, there is nothing to talk about with them. However all history of wars also is full of amnesties. I still impressed by deed of Czechs after WWII. They gathered at that times all Sudeten Germans and sent them to Germany. It is very discreetly, does anybody sanee needs such neighbors, colleagues or acquaintances? And does any state need such citizens?

History is beautiful, but if Russian are moved out from Donbass and described gastarbeiters and madame stay here, so where is the drop of justice here? The difference of followers of “friendship with Russia” on the West of Ukraine from those, who decided to believe in “Novorossiya” is only in one thing, first “supporters” weren’t accepted to enter “Novorossiya”. Of course we can judge only for made crimes, to judge for potentially possible crime is an absurd or inquisition or Stalin’s “trinity” and how do you think, what is that the wish to live in war without noticing it? And what about journeys to Crimea, whatever on tour or on holidays?

I don’t know what to do with not so responsible citizens of country. It’s understood that there was nothing to do with them in the peaceful time. You can talk in a peaceful time that “I’m out of policy” or “I can’t quarrel with my friends, because of policy”. Policy is continuing to the first volley from “Grad” and then the war is beginning.

War and policy is like family life and courtship, they alike only externally, till the first volley.  So, if not responsible enough citizens weren’t convinced by volleys, evidences from where shells came didn’t convince too and who started first, so there is a need to do something with such citizens. But there is very thin facet, which is very hard not to cross. It’s the edge between “bringing to life” of lost citizen and beginning of repressions for political preferences, in spite of fact that volley was not the only one and word “policy” is not to the point.

The experience of residents of Baltic States is very interesting. There was no war, but after USSR collapse, if I’m not mistaking, Latvia managed to sort the suffers for “unbreakable union” and gave them passports not of citizens of Latvia , but “alien passports” — the identity card, restricting rights. First time such passports got third part of citizens, those who didn’t pass exams or didn’t have a wish to do it to get Latvia passport. According to last statistics index, previous 30% reduced to 7 or 8%, moreover desirous to “come back to home port”, for example, to sunny Magadan were so small, that it could be supposed that number of conscious citizens strongly increased.

Latvians needed for this more than 2 dozens of years. I see proof in it, that we have not interethnic conflict. There were a lot of wars in Europe, but when time had come to change war on peace, Germans with French or Italians with Austrian found a possibility to peacefully coexist till the next time. We have more deep reasons, “brotherhood” doesn’t up to good arguments, that’s why relationships with betrayers will be difficult and unpleasant. Moreover, they consider us betrayers too, because we had betrayed mythical folk of Donbass of South-East of Ukraine. By the way, the territory of living this mythical people has been compressing from the last year. And it becomes more interesting, we’re waiting that they need to make excuses and they are sure that, that we are guilty that we took away our families from mines, shells and missiles.

Generally it’s all clear about logic of this people, only evolution and seizure of illegal «Schmeissers» from them will reconcile us. According to all this had been written I have one question: do those people who ran away on a territory of RF from the same mines, missiles and shells also betray  “mythical people”?
