Edited Text by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin Video is featured on V Kontakte (In Russian, with Russian subtitles available): [ColonelCassad] A documentary film, "Witnesses," was released about the June 2, 2014, air raid on Luhansk and the attack on the local administration building. For me, the footage from the scene of the attack is imprinted on my memory, especially the dying woman with her body torn apart. And then I remember a lot of conscious foolishness about blown-up air conditioners. So, when someone from Ukraine hypocritically screams about "bombs and missiles," it doesn't bother me at all. It's all deserved a thousand times over. Abstract: You know, when you take on something like this, a story of pain, evidence of despair, it's hard to find the words. But we can't remain silent. And I'll probably never be able to fully understand what these people went through. "WITNESSES" isn't just a project; it's a cry from the heart. We reconstructed each event as if from ashes, gathering fragments of memory and footage. Every interview is like a blow to the heart. I understand that many have their own truth. But we can't turn a blind eye to what happened (and is happening) to these people. Our task is to debunk the lies that have been spread for years, to show the real picture of the tragedy in Donbas, no matter how much some would like to keep it quiet. Vittorio Rangeloni is an outsider, a foreigner, but he felt this land, this pain. He didn't come here for a sensation—he could report from anywhere, believe me. He wants to tell the truth so the world can hear those who have lost everything. The "WITNESSES" project is our shared memory and, perhaps painfully, a necessary first step toward justice. Personally, I can say it's difficult to watch, but it's important to see. We must not allow the tragedy of Donbas to be forgotten. |
