Fascinating to observe Russia's descent into total fascism

I know — “fascinating” is not the best word for this story. But it’s a bit like that — you watch some of the news and think: this shit is so surreal. But it’s not surreal. It’s very real. This stuff is darker than they make things look in dystopian movies.

Two videos caught my attention recently.

The first one is borrowed from the telegram channel of Alexander Nevzorov. I’m not by the way a fan of Nevzorov’s style (full of brutality) but he is good at collecting dark and ugly stuff. In this video the guy in the center (presumably some higher-ranking officer) is inspiring his battalion.
