The mass usage of drones in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict makes us know more behind the scenes of this war. Among recorded events are the suicides of wounded soldiers. This applies mainly to Russians and as a phenomenon is nothing new. There have always been cases where soldiers took their own lives, but so far, let's say brutally, the corpse was a dead body – if there were no witnesses of death (or those who were silent), the suicides went on evidence as dead in combat. According to the coverage of russian veterans of intervention in Afghanistan, if the substance were to be dealt with fairly, 1 in 5 out of 10,000 officially deceased Soviets should be considered suicidal. Today, ubiquitous drone cameras shed more light on the circumstances of death. But they besides do not explain why specified suicides happen at all.
Things usually look like this: the battered Russians – those on no one's land or abandoned by their comrades – blow themselves up with grenades, kill little with handguns. Often, judging by the suicide reactions and the position of the unmanned, the erstwhile are aware of the presence of the latter.
I do not know the real scale of the phenomenon, but only this year I counted more than 30 revealed (!) videos illustrating soldier suicide.
The “Shurawi” – as the Soviets were called in Afghanistan – feared Afghan captivity. rather right, due to the fact that Afghans – experienced with the brutality of russian intervention – did not certify the prisoners. The same was actual in Chechnya, where both sides became celebrated for their cruelty, which was again based on the scale of Russian savagery towards the attacked community. In Ukraine, we have “a rerun of entertainment” – fear of a nightmare experience of captivity makes the wounded Russians like not to wait for capture and take matters into their own hands. Is that right?
The Office of the advanced Commissioner for Human Rights and Amnesty global study on cases of force against Russian prisoners, including the situations in which the prisoners were killed. However, this is not a systemic action and perpetrators are put before the Ukrainian judiciary. However, the fears of the Russians come from something else – they live under force from foolish propaganda that convinces them of Ukrainian brutality. Putin's soldiers are besides aware of the crimes committed against Ukrainian prisoners of war by their colleagues – and they simply fear revenge. most likely for this reason the Russians are publishing films from the persecution of Ukrainians – to put their own people in an impossible situation. “You better not quit due to the fact that they will do the same to you...”. "Better blow yourself up or shoot yourself erstwhile you can't return to your own."
But that doesn't exhaust the description of suicidial motivation. Emile Durkheim, author of the classical “Suicide” trial, pointed out in 1897 that the title act is the consequence of the disintegration of social life and is more common in communities where there are weaker social ties. How's that for Russia and the Russians?
The Donetsk Oblast, Ukrainian soldiers are firing on the direction of the city of Torećk.
No 1 (in their right mind) wants to suffer, the Russians are no exception. But their strategy of front medicine is highly despicable, which puts a large part of the average soldiers in a dilemma: either I will die for hours, having small chance to save myself, or I will shoot myself. The Kremlin propaganda boasts a advanced percent of the endurance of the wounded (eight in ten), without adding that it is about the victims who have already reached medical facilities. So they went through a preselection phase, embedded on respective inhuman variables. Only the soldiers of elite units are sufficiently trained and equipped to enable rescue operations. They are the only ones who have adequate motivation (the consequence of association and the resulting friendship) to undertake evacuation of victims. 2 thirds of the quota ‘mobica’ do not have specified competences. Mixed with a degenerate criminal element, they are intended for “single use”. Garbage army, aware of its garbage. Conscious that at most he can number on himself, due to the fact that the “no 1 remains” regulation does not apply to them.
At the same time, however, we must not forget another origin that pushes wounded Russians into desperate acts. The actions of the drones of both parties are sometimes of a beastly nature. The drones are on the battlefield long adequate to hunt single soldiers. And sometimes it's not about killing, it's about giving your opponent a long-term death. To overpower it and then “biting” it, which is easy erstwhile tiny loads are used, and the tortured soldier is wearing “ballistics” (helms, vests), lying in any depth, rumble or bushes.
Both Russians and Ukrainians do not hide these practices – it is easy to find appropriate movie material, de facto evidence of war crimes. Both sides print it for the same intent – to demotivate the opponent. The second consequence of specified “publications” is circumstantial motivation – to shoot yourself in the head/to blow yourself up, and not to be a hero of a nightmare spectacle...
