Marat, thanks for writing and sharing this story of the origins of Slavyanka and the Russian Spring. I will remember Seryozhka, and how the Russian infantry settled the score with the 110th Ukrainian Brigade as well as Zelensky's elite third brigade. The significance of this breakthrough at Avdeevka and the fortifications in the area by Slavyanka and Vostok has been so powerfully represented by your written work.

Thanks Marat, reasoning and thought like yours is hard to find in Western press. Maybe It's not even your intention to write for us, but we few Westerners who still study and appreciate history have only places like substack and telegram left.

I hope the Arrogant West where I live doesn't start a war with Russia.

Russia will not lose, which the West doesn't really have the capacity to understand, sadly.

I am proud to be Russian.

Thank you for your work, God bless you

Russia is big enough to welcome the whole world, but smart enough to protect Russia until the rest of the world becomes Russia, when you are ready....

Russia is the world's water, way I see it....the thing that brings the life to the soul....and the soul to life....

This is powerful. I had heard very limited bits about Russian Regular troops vs Ukraine “special forces”. But here we have a motivation, the heart—- the reason
