The village of Katyuzhanka in the Kiev region was under Russian occupation almost immediately after the war and stayed in this situation for about a month. In the building of the local school, the invaders set up a command post, and the commander of the troops of the Eastern District even flew there to present military awards to “servicemen who distinguished themselves during a special military operation” in “the most important direction - Kiev”.

According to Schemes, after the liberation of Katyuzhanka, in addition to trenches and abandoned equipment, the school began to find literature about the Great Patriotic War, portraits of Lenin, and even diaries of soldiers. The military had enough time to write " In one of them, an officer of the Russian army analyzes the military strategy of the Russian Federation, why they came to Ukraine and tells how he conducted the interrogation of Ukrainians.

“Our teacher, my wife found a diary in one of the classrooms, which was most likely kept by one of the officers. And, moreover, most likely - a lawyer or a representative of the Federal Security Service (FSB) of the Russian Federation. It can be understood from the context there,” the director of the school, Nikolay Mikitchik, told reporters..

It has not yet been possible to identify the author of the " He writes that on February 24, together with the army, he crossed the border of Ukraine, and on February 28 he arrived in Katyuzhanka. He began to write more actively on March 13.

“We went to study, but ended up in a war... or a war...” - this is the title of the diary.

The military describes that his unit left the Russian city of Smolensk through Belarus to the territory of Ukraine.

“I am sitting in Katyuzhanka, this is such a village. Studying school papers. I still have not come to terms with the fact that I am in a foreign state, I still do not believe in war. I still don’t know if all this is right, ”the military man writes supposedly innocent things..

He even criticizes the command, because “no one tells the truth about the losses, about the reality of hostilities, I only hear that “Our cause is right, victory will be ours”.

“We wanted a blitzkrieg, but as a result... we sat down on the fifth point. There is a feeling that history will call our actions the second Hitlerism and arrange another “Nuremberg”, I won’t give a damn, it’s my fault, I was, I fought, I’m sorry! "

In particular, he notes that the troops are not well-coordinated, and the command speaks of an imaginary success.

“Three hundredth and two hundredths are in abundance, and the command in the reports speaks only of an imaginary success. Putin will soon be 70, if he dies starting a war, there will be “something,” writes a Russian army man.

Another time, he expresses fears of defeat: “There are rumors in the air about a Ukrainian counteroffensive.. Allegedly countries help with personnel and equipment. But those are just rumors." True, after that he boasts that the Russian troops discovered a "

And two days later, he describes how he conducted the interrogation of the “Nazis”: “With the joint efforts of your obedient servant and employee, persons of 12 people were interrogated, all Nazis. I was ruthless, crucifying them with cross, individual and night interrogations..

Subsequently, he will also write: “Once again I had to interrogate the priest, I can’t say that I was gentle, by no means - I discovered the severity and professionalism with sheer dedication, which aroused the admiration of experts from the FSB. Interrogations are successful, informative, they promise to provide a Protestant pastor for interrogation. If he has something to hide, I will find it out, no matter how cunning he is, on such comrades, as they say, I ate the dog "

True, later the military man complained in his diary that he was not taken on a mission: “They promised to take him on a combat mission, I knocked around the thresholds for a long time to get permission - in response they convince me that this is dangerous, but my head must be protected, everyone has their own war,.

According to the military, interrogations in Katyuzhanka were conducted by a military man with the call sign " An inscription with such a signature was fixed on the doors of one of the school classrooms..

In his diary, he has already considered the prospects for a career in intelligence, and also fantasizes about how he will become a judge in the future..

“Colleagues of higher rank, employees in the security sector, portend me a successful future as a counterintelligence officer and promise to help me prepare and stay at the academy”.

The last message of the Russian "
