@doo @rockerface , translation programs do indeed usually translate “khokhol” into “crest”, and if you see that word in a machine translation from Russian, it almost always means that slur about Ukrainians.
A human, from a Finland.
What is important to me? Generally: doing the right thing. And everything that follows from that: Sustainable living, including sustainable travel and eating, privacy, opposing fascism, opposing genocides.
And then languages and bicycles are other interesting things. I also am a parent of some further human beings.
I have lived in Finland, Germany, Ukraine, Spain and the Russia. And hitchhiked from Finland over China to India.

No.
They went to die for Putin’s ego.
Because they feel that they share his ego. In sending them to useless death, he shows he’s a strong leader – as the soldiers want. They are glad to be part of their Strong Leader’s plans. That makes them feel strong.
Remember, the Russia has not started sending conscripts to the front yet. All soldiers are there of their own choice. Mostly for money, but also for their country finally doing what they want it to do: Bruteness.
