According to Veronica Kutsillo, the editor-in-chief of «MBH Media», one of the main reasons for the recent blocking of this media outlet at the request of Roskomnadzor on the platform Yandex.Dzen was the publication about the confiscation of bonuses from Russian servicemen for the construction of the Main Temple of the Russian Armed Forces. It should be noted that this publication provoked an extremely strong reaction from the military command, which promptly denied the information, calling it a «fake throw-in by Ukrainian propagandists». However, the problem for the Defense Ministry is that it was not Ukrainian or even oppositional emigre media that had previously written about the coercion of servicemen to finance their «main temple,» but rather ordinary regional Russian media. Screenshots and links to Russian military websites and groups where such discussions take place allow us to conclude that this information largely corresponds to reality.
Now let’s get to the heart of the matter. Of course, we have no sympathy for the military, whose long-awaited «Syrian» bonuses were used to build Putin, Shoigu and Gundyaev’s temple. However, in politics, emotions are a poor advisor, and if one thinks rationally, one must understand that the army is the backbone of any regime, especially an authoritarian one. And the moment it ceases to be so, the days of that regime can be considered numbered.
Therefore, any division within the structures of this regime, any dissatisfaction and unrest can only be welcomed, even if its cause is the non-payment of «Syrian» bonuses. Moreover, in this case it is also a division between the ideological superstructure of the regime, which is the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), and its executive component, represented by the military, which this regime is beginning to deprive of its privileged status and impoverish in favor of the Church authorities.
The Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, sought to win over those who fought against him and his community, and the victory of the Muslims and their return to Mecca came just when they succeeded in doing so. Similarly, it is in the interest of Muslims today that Russian military personnel begin to realize that serving a regime of Chekists, corrupt officials, and church authorities will bring them no benefit not only in the next life, but also in this one. The bonuses they expect as payment for the blood and tears of Syrian children will end up financing false temples, national projects, or simply the yachts of Sechin and Vekselberg.
«There is no money, but you hang on» — this formula, which the chief administrator of the regime utters to helpless pensioners, while sanctions are strangling them and pushing them away from the global markets, will inevitably begin to be applied to the main supporters of this regime — the military and law enforcement officers.
So wouldn’t it be better to stop supporting obvious parasites and create a society and a country where constructive work is valued and properly compensated, rather than participating in dishonest and useless adventures?
