THEY’RE NOT HERE FOR RUSSIA – HE’S HERE FOR THE MONEY! ICQ ON THE RISE AND THE RUSSIAN WAY OF LIFE

Two so-called “liberators”. One openly admits – he’s in it for the money. The other is too shy to confess. The first one says the only thing that bothered him was the lack of proper preparation. As for whether the money is blood‑stained or not – he doesn’t care. As long as they pay. They called his home – and the reply was: “Why should I talk to him?” Indeed, why? Still, he seems to have drawn some conclusions: his ICQ level has gone up, though IQ is still pending… The second one – all tatted up. Claims he’s not into politics, but says he might get interested now. Should we believe him? Of course not. We call his grandmother, and she immediately gives him up: he needed money, and yes, freedom from prison. She’s used to her grandson always doing time. Ah, the Russian way of life… what a life it is. 0:00 Highlights 2:21 What happened to your arm? 3:31 Did you vote for this guy at least? 4:21 Why did you sign the contract? 5:56 When did you go to training camp? 7:53 What about your morale? 10:01 Let’s talk combat 14:06 Winter swimming is invigorating 17:23 Keeping each other warm 18:51 Why were your own people shelling you? 20:41 How did you break your arm? 22:01 Didn’t listen to your president? 23:06 Why did I say that? 24:56 They just lie there… 25:49 NATO rations, you say? 29:56 Do you think you got lucky? 30:56 Explained with cats—oops, cigarettes 34:21 Moscow is a different country 38:01 I didn’t live with him, I don’t know what he’s like 40:31 Oh wait, that’s not mom 42:03 Well, now everything’s clear 42:59 Where did empathy go? 43:51 Who?
