He also criticizes the command and Putin, who started the war.
The village of Katyuzhanka in Kyiv region was under Russian occupation almost immediately after the war and stayed in that situation for about a month. The occupiers set up a command post in the building of the local school, and the commander of the Eastern District troops even flew there to present military awards to “servicemen who distinguished themselves during a special military operation” in the “most important direction – Kyiv.”
According to Schemy, after Katyuzhanka's release, in addition to trenches and abandoned equipment, the school began to find literature on the Great Patriotic War, portraits of Lenin, and even diaries of soldiers. The military had plenty of time to write memoirs. In one of them, an officer of the Russian army analyzes the military strategy of the Russian Federation, why they came to Ukraine and tells how he interrogated Ukrainians.
“Our teacher, my wife found a diary in one of the offices he kept all, one of the officers. And, at the same time, most likely – a lawyer or a representative of the Federal Security Service (FSB). There, this can be understood in context, “school principal Mykola Mykytchyk told reporters.
The author of the “memoirs” has not yet been identified: the military mentions his name, Konstantin, only once in the diary. He writes that on February 24 he crossed the border of Ukraine together with the army, and on February 28 he arrived in Katyuzhanka. He started writing more actively on March 13.
“We went to study, but went to war … or war…” – this is the title of the diary.
< The military describes that his unit left the Russian city of Smolensk via Belarus for Ukraine.
“I'm sitting in Katyuzhanka, this is such a village. I study school documentation. I still have not come to terms with the fact that I am in a foreign country, I still do not believe in war. I still don't know if all this is right, “the military wrote seemingly innocent things.
He even criticizes the command because” no one is telling the truth about the losses, about the reality of hostilities, I only hear that our faithful, victory will be ours. “
“They wanted a blitzkrieg, and as a result they sat down on the fifth point. There is a feeling that history will call our actions the second Hitlerism and arrange another “Nuremberg”, I will not brag, guilty, was, fought, sorry! “- He expresses a fairly rational opinion.
In particular, he notes that the troops are not coordinated, and the command speaks of imaginary success.
“Three hundred and two hundred in abundance, and the command in the reports speaks only of imaginary success … will die after starting the war, there will be “something”, – writes the Russian army.
Another time he expressed fears of defeat: “There are rumors in the air about the Ukrainian counter-offensive. Allegedly, the countries help with personnel and equipment. But these are just rumors. ” However, after that he boasts that the Russian troops have discovered a “storage facility”.
Two days later, he describes how he interrogated the “Nazis”: 12 people, all Nazis. I was ruthless, crucifying them with cross-examination, individual and night interrogations. “
He would later write: “Once again I had to interrogate the priest, I can't say that he was soft, not at all – I showed severity and professionalism with pure self-sacrifice, which aroused the admiration of FSB specialists. The interrogations are successful, informative, and the Protestant pastor promises to be interrogated. If he has something to hide, I will find out, no matter how cunning he is, I ate a dog on such comrades, as they say! ”
However, the military man later complained in his diary that he was not taken on a “mission”: “They promised to take me on a combat mission. , and she is not always on the field, in a shootout, that my role is no less important, that I have already done a lot to win Russian weapons. “
According to the military, interrogations in Katyuzhanka conducted by the military with the call sign “German”. An inscription with such a signature was fixed on the door of one of the school offices.
In his diary, he has already considered career prospects in intelligence and even fantasized about becoming a judge in the future.
promise to help prepare and stay at the academy. “
The last post of the Russian” investigator “in the diary is dated March 19.
