Ukrainians should be preparing to take injustice

Andriy Kokotyukha writer, a screenwriter, after publishing the horrific facts of the atrocities of the Russians, voices about the thirst for retribution sound in the liberated territories. But what will it be? It was December 1999. My friend, Sergiy Zhadan, is sitting at a table with Nuremberg Brewery. We are treated to Hans, a low elderly bubble German, a typical, even archetypical burger. On the feminine in this bar, the seats, and next to Ghana's friends are his peers, cheerful German pensioners.

They really take glasses and shake them in a touch of friendly exclamations. Yeah, forgot a small detail: they are all veterans of World War II. Video of the day our part of Hans, for example, served in Luftwaffe. He fought on the Eastern Front, bombed Soviet cities. We do not clarify either Hans or his friends, but we assume: theoretically, Hans could throw a bomb on Ukrainian lands. They do not evaluate their participation in the war.

Their participation in the war was also evaluated in any way - none of the company was captured, none of them judged for war crimes. They simply got into the USSR controlled by the German sector, and then were denacified. Which meant the impression of the rights at a certain time. The Second World War for them is only a fact of biography, part of young life.

But I am sure that when such Hans dropped bombs on houses and people, those who survived - no matter, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarus, Jew, cursed him, threatened his fist and sought punishment. Not abstract, but personally to the one who was sitting at the helm. The victims of the occupation war always want a fair and, most importantly, fast guaranteed punishment for an enemy soldier who brought grief, violence, torture, destruction and death.

So far, the world will not be fair after the terrible facts of the atrocities of the Russians on the liberated in April of Kyiv, Chernihiv and Sumy region, the name of the city of Bucha became a worldwide symbol of Russian cruelty and at the same time - in a word, which means a thirst for repayment. Revenge of Buch, answer for Buch - that's what calls sound.

Even in this context, they talked about the analogue of Mossad's special reaches, which will become secret avengers and will hunt Russian murderers in the Russian rear. Until they calculate everyone by name and destroy. At the same time, they also talked about the condemnations of the perpetrators, even the first lawsuits were passed and sentences were sounded. The theme received a new round with the beginning of the de -occupation of Kharkiv region.

The name of the city of Izium, after the torture and mass burials found there, is now mentioned next to Bucha in the same context. And the punishment of Russian military involved in crimes was spoken in social networks with renewed force. I will emphasize: it is not about the abstract punishment, such as the wishes of all the invaders to breathe and burn in hell. Active Ukrainians sincerely seek to find and punish specific executioners and murderers. No matter how they may be.

The retribution in the form of disposal of enemy soldiers by the efforts of the Armed Forces is not quite suitable. Because the wounds are fresh, they hurt. And to blunt this pain only proven information: yesterday they unrelated to the same Russian Vanka, who shot your loved ones. This is not exaggeration, not redundancy. Such moods, such requirements, wishes and expectations of every Ukrainian can be explained without the help of a professional psychologist.

But not for nothing I started with the story of Hans and his friends. The warriors of the Hitler army survived the war and were not punished for participating in it. Although they sowed death and do not deny this fact. Nazis' crimes have no time of ancient times and are still investigated. However, not all of those who remained alive after May 8, 1945 have been punished. The risk of assuming is a minority.

Ukraine and Ukrainians should reject illusions and psychologically prepare themselves for the celebration of such injustice. Even after Bucha, with the beginning of investigation of Russian war crimes, Western experts have warned about the difficulties of punishment for them. The liberation of Kharkiv region did not change the situation. On the contrary, it complicated due to the projected increase in crime. Unfortunately, it will be even larger.

It is better not to think about what the liberated Mariupol will show . . . Ukraine is running a just war. However, the Ministry of Defense has already stated that our war is defense, not occupation. That is, the promotion of the Armed Forces deep into Moscow, along with the return of the Kuban, and then - a liberation campaign for the Urals and participation in the liberation of storms from the Moscow IGA is not expected by the Ukrainian Military Doctrine.

Whatever such rainbow paintings did not paint the most stubborn patriots. This means that hunting for killer soldiers to judge and condemn is canceled. The just court and in general justice here are impossible a priori. Without the invasion of the hostile territory of the same Putin in the bunker not to block, Doskov is not arrested, Simonian and Skabev's shackles should not be worn. Is it right? No. Is there a way that such justice to triumph? No.

After our victory, they will exhale at home and later drink beer like Hans with friends. Yes, it will be much worse than German. The quality of Russian life for those soldiers who will be expelled from our land and return to their cities, was still bad, and then deteriorate. A fair punishment can be achieved by each of us, if once and for all will clean our own space from all Russian. And the active part of society will not miss any fact of the existence of the Russian world in the common space.
