This story is revealing in every way: what outraged the serviceman was not the machinery of war itself, but the fact that police officers in Podolsk voiced its true logic aloud. The humiliation of Maria Tsydenova and the wishes for death directed at all residents of Buryatia in the “special military operation” zone are not some accidental “excess,” but an unusually frank, if monstrous, expression of how the system actually works. It has already thrown Buryats, other Indigenous and minority peoples, Ukrainians, and Russians themselves into the grinder. And so the main question remains the same: how many more must die before this monstrous truth stops being disguised as “service to the motherland”?
Below is the news report itself.
Serviceman Aleksandr Babkin, who is serving in the 37th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade (military unit 69647), recorded an appeal in which he reported unlawful actions by police officers in Podolsk, near Moscow, against Maria Tsydenova, a resident of Buryatia, born on November 7, 1984.
According to the serviceman, the woman left home without her passport, after which she was detained and taken to a police station. During the detention and while at the station, she was subjected to humiliating remarks. What particularly outraged the serviceman, however, were the police officers’ words in which they wished death upon all residents of Buryatia serving in the SMO zone.
Aleksandr stated that while servicemen are in a combat zone, their relatives should not have to face humiliation, pressure, and a sense of helplessness in civilian life:
“We will not allow this kind of humiliation toward their relatives.”
The serviceman described the incident as a gross display of disrespect toward all participants in the SMO who are in the combat zone. He appealed to the Minister of Defense and the head of the Russian Interior Ministry to hold the police officers involved accountable.
