You Were Crushed By Students and Cooks - May 26th 2025

It is May 26. Second World War gave birth to an entirely new, literally, genre, the Justifying Memoir. Hundreds of former and in some cases not so former Nazis wrote about their participation in the war in an attempt to justify the crimes they committed during it. Most of these books rely on a single excuse. I was just

following orders so i cannot be held responsible today's war has also spawned a new genre the boston memoir hundreds of russian occupiers have already written and published their accounts of killing ukrainians looting ukrainian cities torturing prisoners and kidnapping children the offers of these books take immense pride in all of it

the main message of these books is simple they meaning ukrainians deserve it they deserve it because they refuse to give up their culture and identity refuse to submit to the rule of russian maniacal tyrants and simply want to live by their own minds

I sincerely hope that the anti-war underground in Russia, if it exists at all, is buying, collecting and preserving all these books so that one day their authors can be held accountable for genocide and war crimes.

From what I've seen, and I do occasionally read Ukrainian reviews of this grotesque material, the Russian army is portrayed in these books as an invincible force able to overcome anything.

One book even includes a scene from the early days of the invasion where soldiers from a unit advancing on Kiev draw lots to decide who will get the honor of raising the Russian flag over the Ukrainian parliament building. In other words, they were sure that taking the Ukrainian capital would be a walk in the park, just a short trip toward medals and promotions.

The fact that they never took Kyiv, that they were forced to retreat from Chernihiv and Kharkiv, that they had to surrender the city of Kherson that they had once occupied. Russians tried to explain with a thousand excuses. Poor planning, bad timing, betrayal by commanders, the weather or whatever else comes to mind. They can come up with a million reasons for their failures.

except for the one real reason.

It was not the weather or bad planning who stopped you bastards. You did not reach Kyiv or Kharkiv not because you chose the wrong time to attack. You were stopped by the Ukrainian army. You were not greeted with flowers as you dreamed. You were greeted with fire. Your so-called elite regular army was almost completely destroyed in the first few weeks of the war.

And it was my brothers and sisters who burned it down, people most of whom had never even held a weapon before. But in order to destroy you, they quickly learned. I still remember how, three years ago, we figured out how to fix a jammed machine gun using a YouTube video. And we did fix it.

But for you scoundrels, it's unbearably humiliating to admit that you were crushed by students and cooks, nurses and teachers, that your supposedly unbeatable army was stopped by yesterday's civilians. So you lie about planning and weather. In fact, you lie about everything. Your entire country is built on lies. But we'll fix it. Hope there is a video instruction about it.
