According to a popular concept, when a person experiences grief, he passes through certain stages: denial, anger, bargaining,
depression, and acceptance.
But many psychologists are critical of this conception, thinking it's too mechanical.
After all, humans are complex creatures. A man is not so primitive that his reactions could be divided into definitive stages.
But it seems like that for Russian diplomats and propagandists the scheme works just fine.
Today let’s look at how our officialdom reacts to the withdrawal from Kherson. Don’t forget your tinfoil hat.
DENIAL
So the first stage is denial. Working with reality demands a lot of energy: you need to use your head,
to waste your intellectual resources.
For while you wait for smarter people to write manuals for you it’s better to just deny an unpleasant reality.
For starters let’s recall past defeats of the Russian army.
Like on 10th of March, when the fog of war has cleared and the failure of Putin’s blitzkrieg has become obvious,
Sergey Lavrov spoke the famous words.
And regarding your question of whether or not we have plans to attack other countries… we don’t plan to attack other countries.
We didn’t attack Ukraine, either.
In Ukraine, as we explained many times, we are face with a situation that creates direct threats
to the security of the Russian Federation.
What blitzkrieg, what war? Nobody attacked Ukraine. It’s just circumstances.
Special military situation.
And on 8th of September, when the AFU began a counteroffensive to Kharkiv,
Russia’s permanent representative Vasiliy Nebenzia to the UN entered the denial stage, too.
Contrary to basic principles of strategy, Ukrainian propagandists in the highest echelons of power, openly shared their plans
of offensive to regain their lost territories, happily announced by the Ukrainian and Western media.
As we can tell, even the AFU opposed that madness.
But the Ukrainian leader, after discussing the matter with his American and British colleagues, was adamant.
As a result, fields near Mykolaiv and Zaporozhye and forests near Kharkiv are now strewn with corpses of thousands
of Ukrainian soldiers, who were sent to certain deaths and were not allowed to retreat by rear squads.
Some peripheral villages were taken, certainly there was no breakthrough. Military experts know that.
Like, what are you talking about? There is no Ukrainian breakthrough!
And no, in the difficult, for the Russian army, month of November,
the Russian viewers have received a revelation from Vladimir Soloviev.
Attention, the Special military operation that was declared on 24th of February, doesn’t exist!
There is an aggressive war of extermination that the West has unleashed
against the Russian people exactly a week earlier.
We are being told that Russia is waging an unjust and unprovoked war. Are you nuts?
You started the war! You've made your ukro-reich kill people of Donbass simply
because they refused to abandon their history!
What happened on February 24 was only a counteroffensive of the Russian army.
The war itself started on February 17.
On February 17 of 2022, a powerful artillery barrage in preparation for a planned offensive.
Not by the AFU general staff, but by joint NATO-AFU staff.
Some news huh? How did we miss the massive artillery barrage in preparation for the NATO invasion?
Alright, alright. Forget Kharkov and Kherson.
Those are just details and nuances.
It turns out that when we talk about local un-successesof the Russian army, we just can’t see the forest for the trees.
Because since February 17, Russia has been repelling an attack by (a quote) “american, british, and european satanists”.
Their satanistic goal is to de-hetero-sexualize the Russians.
And Satan’s servants even have helpers in Russia itself. Here is an incomplete list of them that Soloviev voiced. I quote:
— Entrepreneur Oleg Tinkov, traitor of Russian soil with a bicycle ass
— Cinema and theater director Kirill Serebrennikov and his p**erastic moaning
— Liberass journalism, reigned by homosexualism
— The generation of uneducated armchair f**gots
The metaphor that Vladimir Soloviev used to describe the attack of them satanists and their accomplices is rather interesting.
On February 17… the nazi spearhead of the NATO army… penetrated the Donbass flesh
It can all be described as a special form of denying reality.
It turns out that there is no continental war going on, we’re just desperately defending against
satanist-led homosexuals trying to penetrate our flesh.
ANGER
That was denial. Now let’s quickly take a look at one example of a propagandist’s anger and move on.
Better not stay at the anger stage for too long, your displays may not survive it.
Unless your nerves are strong enough as well as your gadget’s display, better move to the next time code.
Too many bastards lied!
From top to bottom, they all lied!
About what they had in warehouses, about the condition of the equipment, about how many fighters there are at the frontline.
And none of them faced a shooting squad!
None of those bastards was punished.
Not one of them has committed suicide.
None has resigned.
None has resigned...
BARGAINING
Enough of Soloviev for now, let’s move to the bargaining.
After the loss of Kherson, Tigran Keosayan has become the bargain-man of the Russian propaganda.
The anchorman of the “International Pilorama” and Margarita Simonyan’s husband.
I hope that maybe it’s a secret plan to lead them into a trap.
Remember we talk a week ago, you said that it’s most likely a trap. Now I mean a more global trap!
We now show that we can’t resist NATO troops, NATO troops, having lost their senses, cross the bounds of Poland,
Slovakia, Czech, they flood Ukraine, and then we destroy them all, well with something like i don’t know, napalm,
and they panic and flee back home. Because… I don’t have any other plan.
Judging by his tone, it may seem that Tigran Keosayan suddenly turned to the light and began mocking
the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Don’t you worry, he didn’t turn to anything.
After complaining about the fact that there’s been 4 days already without bombings of Kyiv,
Keosayan began to bargain with fate for a smart plan.
So that the defeat near Kherson turned out to be an inventive maneuver worthy of general field marshal Kutuzov,
and not a defeat.
And that is why, since i trust my country and my government,
its state institutions - I do, I still do - I think that maybe it’s a plan.
There, that's the best i can offer you.
DEPRESSION
After bargaining, the most difficult stage comes — the depression. Keep in mind that depression is not just a bad mood.
Despite what many people think, depression cannot be overcome with self-discipline or willpower.
It’s a pathological condition that demands help from professionals. Depression is no joke.
Just look at what it did to Vladimir Soloviev.
Good morning dear friends, how are you today?
Thanks to all who start their morning with Solovyev Live on Vesti FM.
Full contact… my god, I even forgot that we are titled Full Contact.
It all associates with life that was before, when we thought that things would go differently.
Telegram channel Soloviev – come, subscribe, watch us.
Of course, hardly anyone thought that their life would change so drastically.
I’m not trying to judge anyone or to teach you good and bad.
It’s only my own perspective…
See what depression can do? The poor chap almost began to sound like a human!
And here we have an example of a collective depression.
At some point, the faces of these people begin to say everything.
We need to understand the long term potential after two months at least.
To do that, we need clarity from all sides, and it must be revealed to people.
In regards to various directions, to economic direction, to political component, and to military component.
A situation of silence creates a vacuum, and that vacuum creates all these things, uncertainties.
It’s the most dangerous thing of all.
The special operation is proceeding according to plan, all objectives will be met.
I’d like to know them.
Just this once.
Denazification and demilitarization of Ukraine.
Of all of Ukraine? And Western too?
I’d like to have more clarity on this.
ACCEPTANCE
A weird thing happened to Vladimir Soloviev at the peak of his depression.
Instead of homosexualism, he’s now talking about gnosticism!
What is good and what is bad.
Good and evil, who must win?
Actually who said that good must always win? It’s a question that i’ve always been asking myself.
Who said that good will prevail over evil? Not in a lifetime of humankind, who knows what it’ll be, but in a lifetime of a man.
How does one accept this terrible reality in which there is so much evil?
Usually when philosophy collides with psychology, it gives birth to various schools of thought.
In our case, they are Soloviev’s school and Kisilev’s school.
Vladimir Rudolfovich proposes the following method of accepting reality.
Talk as much as you can about your flaws and vices.
In order to avoid traumatizing yourself too, talk in third person,
as if you were talking about someone else, here’s a good example.
They have no shame.
Not only they have no shame, they are convinced that they are on the side of good.
They don’t care for the killed, they don’t care… ok who cares if Russia exists or not, who cares?
Their comfy little world doesn’t need Russia except as a scene from which
they broadcast ideas to Russian viewers and gain money for it.
The method, invented by no one else but the cavalier of the order of friendship Vladimir Soloviev, works perfectly.
First, do something and then, talk about it like it was someone else.
The method works best in pairs, when one partner helps another. Let’s see how it happens.
Remove that degenerate FFS! Ban that Ukro-nazi scam, hope he dies!
There he writes: wake up Vova, our country is in deep shit.
Of course your country is in deep shit, your president is the fa**ot Zelensky.
All of Ukrainian propaganda is very simple, it’s true.
That unified information broadcast channel, they don’t have, you know, philosophers, great analysts,
people who use complex linguistic constructs, like post-modern or geopolitics, it’s all very primitive,
And don’t forget that you can find consolation in religion. Religiousness is one of the components of the Soloviev method.
Wait, but we believed. Whom, Satan?
No, we thought that we were dealing with brotherly people. It’s a religious war.
Do we fully realize that now? Because Satan is the father of lies.
Oh my dear democrats… it’s a religious war. If we want to win, it’s time to begin a serious rebuilding from within.
In the end, let’s talk about the method invented by another cavalier of friendship and evil fighter Dmitry Kiselev.
Dmitry Konstantinovich suggests that you must stop trying to project your bad qualities on others.
Stand upright and declare it proudly: I don’t fight evil, I am evil!
We will yet regain Kherson. The retreat to the left bank of Dnipro was a tactical move.
It was rational, even if you don’t want to accept it.
What’s important is that we remain combat-capable, we’re improving our logistical capabilities,
it’s much easier to supply our soldiers on the outer reaches.
By the way, the relocation of our troops to the left bank itself was flawless.
During the crossing, we haven’t lost a single soldier, not a single piece of equipment.
And time works for us. With air strikes, we’re destroying their crucial infrastructure which allows the Nazi regime
to keep breathing, to utilize electricity and communication even if with ever-increasing intervals, to heat their cities,
to have running water and sewerage.
As we gradually destroy the Ukrainian energy system it all becomes a luxury.
Yeah. What a bastard.
THE PINNACLE OF UGLINESS
Now let’s be serious. Jokes aside, the things that we saw today are truly the pinnacle of human ugliness.
On the first four channels of the federal broadcast, on state-run radio stations,
there are people working who're busy burning all good and humane things in our country with fire.
It’s a true crime against humanity. Certainly it’s a crime against Ukraine. But even more so - against Russia and its people.
Water breaks down a mountain.
Millions of people listening to all those cavaliers of the order of friendship must have a significant effect.
If you watch and hear such things regularly for years, eventually you become tolerant to all that misanthropic rubbish,
bestial squeals and cries of hatred.
Our society will have to undergo a very long treatment to overcome the psychological and even psychiatric effects
of such conditioning.
And we haven’t even begun to heal. On the contrary, we keep descending to hell circle after circle.
However if we want to keep going we’ll have to stop and begin to crawl out of that hell.
Because you can’t live like that.
Can't build a normal life like that.
See you tomorrow.
