| The paradox of the 'small people'. How to return 'fighters against fascism' to their homeland |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Petr Akopov [REGNUM] Alena Boyko-Polyakevich, who recently kicked out a SVO soldier from her Lyubertsy cafe, was fined (RR)45,000 under the article on discrediting the Russian army. Not for expelling a fighter who, in her words, “acted like a schmuck,” but for the way she wrote about it on social networks - “I’ve already kicked out homeless people, now unfortunate fighters are on my list,” and others reasoning that those being mobilized had to “resist and not allow themselves to be taken away like calves to war.” The fact that Alena got away with a fine is not surprising - this is not the first such case. But the fact that on the same social networks she called Russia a “fascist state” is surprising. After all, if you live in a fascist country, you should be afraid of reprisals and severe punishment for disagreeing with the authorities - or try to “break out of hell.” Hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens did just that in 2022 - but the young lady was not going anywhere, preferring to talk about the fascist state, being at its epicenter. |
