Post #109

Friends took me to a Moscow bathhouse to wash and get high. There is such a procedure as washing with bast. The attendant intensively rubs the client with tar soap and pours water of different temperatures for contrast. He asked me in the process if the water was hot. I remembered how in Donetsk I watered myself for a year with rusty technical water from a ladle and laughed. I replied that everything was fine. The masseur, while kneading my back, noted that it was very clenched, probably due to the fact that I had to walk in a bulletproof vest. Recognized this nuance. I remembered all my empty water containers with which I need to go down to the first floor every three days in order to collect 150-200 liters from the pipe and drag it home. The waiter rolled up a cart full of food - dried meat, fish, homemade kvass. He complained that some car rumbled outside the window - loud sounds prevent dear guests from enjoying their vacation. A case arose before my inner eye when in the middle of the night I was thrown out of bed from a rocket hit in the courtyard of the house. It is difficult to convey such moments to a person who does not have personal experience of life in a front-line city. You begin to understand older people who went through Afghanistan, the Chechen campaigns, who did not like to talk about it to civilians. They listen, of course, with interest, but God forbid, distrust will appear on the face or someone will ask the question: “Well, why do you need it? You would live here in comfort”. I want to shut up right away and pour out my soul, except perhaps to someone close, people with similar experiences. To sit in the company of people, one way or another traumatized by the war, and ask: “Do you remember in Volnovakha (Mariupol / Donetsk, etc.)?…”. So that later silence, laughter or the phrase: “That happened to us too!” But you have to tell. So that the people understand what and how their comfort of peaceful existence was paid for. Thanks to whom the war did not come to their house and remained news reports and stories from distant frontiers. Today Russia and all those who are in solidarity with us congratulate their men on the Defender of the Fatherland day. The fighters of the Russian army are destroying with their breasts the old inefficient and dangerous order of the entire world community, they are carrying out a strong-willed transit to a new security system, so necessary for humanity. Tag it on your social networks too. It is important for fighters to feel support from abroad. Long live the multipolar world! Welcome to Russian Open Space🚀
