    This is the most chilling video I’ve seen from any war so far I think.

    I remember seeing videos from WWI of soldiers that were so desensitised from all the death that they were using an arm sticking out from the side of their trench as a coat hanger… but this? It’s something about the up-close view of him crawling among the remains while talking about how everything is fine that absolutely chills my bones…

  • For anyone else who was confused about the context, the translation of the text accompanying the OP helps. Emphasis mine.

    Here’s someone’s hand, here’s someone’s head, here’s someone else’s head, here’s Denchik resting peacefully, we’ll cover his heel so as not to hurt him. And here’s my squirrel and Frol chilit, in my place, asshole." This is more shocking than a horror movie. A Russian serviceman with the call sign Sam showed how with one comrade he survives in position in a narrow irrigation pipe where the corpses of 6 other Russian servicemen openly lie and decompose. A resting bed is at the back of the pipe and they have to crawl over the corpses to observe. Such “movement” is filmed by the Russian military to confirm their position, otherwise they will be shot by their commanders as they withdraw. Obviously, the assault group was sent to an area that is shot by Ukrainians, it is impossible to go forward or backward in clear weather, a wounded man who tried to leave was immediately eliminated. Under such conditions it should not be surprising that Russian fighters commit suicide en masse. Please help identify the area - very similar to the area of the village of Spirne.

    I wonder if those dead just rotting there with them will produce anthrax? That dead skin for sure looks like its about to start growing other shit.
