Украинские солдаты о войне и культуре

похоронить меня так, как я хочу. и убийство наших людей, они хотят уничтожить нашу культуру. Все началось в 2014 году. Когда началась война с Россией, многие люди говорили, Агрессии не было. Травли, агрессии не было. Отслужив три месяца, пара вернулась домой в Киев.

Фрагменты документального видео BBC показывают украинских военнослужащих и интервью с бородатым мужчиной, который говорит о желании самому выбрать похороны, российской войне, разрушении культуры и службе в армии. Серьёзный тон и документальные субтитры используются как реакция на агрессивный политический выпад: пафосное обвинение сталкивается с реальными свидетельствами людей и намеренно усиливает абсурдность ситуации. EN: Fragments of a BBC documentary show Ukrainian service members and an interview with a bearded man discussing his wish to choose his own funeral, Russia’s war, the destruction of culture, and military service. The serious tone and documentary subtitles are used as a reaction to an aggressive political rant: a grandiose accusation is juxtaposed with real people’s testimony, making the situation feel even more absurd.

The thing I'm worried about is that in case I get killed during this war they won't allow Antelina to bury me the way I want to be buried but they'd rather let my mom bury me with the priest, burying the celibraeers and doing those religious things but I'm an atheist and I don't want that. I remember that at some point it became clear that we only have three options It's either to hide in the bomb shelter Or to go somewhere, to run away Or to go to the real world and we take the third option Because what Russia does, they don't just take our territories and kill our people, they want to destroy our culture. And that's totally a no to me. I can't allow this to happen. It dates back to 2014 when the Russian war started. And lots of people just said there are no gay people in the army. so they chose the unicorn because it's like a fantastic non-existent creature. And so it became the symbol of LGBTQ people in the army. I don't know.
