He tells them about his experience. «They are bombing us;
Peaceful citizens and children are dying," he says. But his
relatives in Russia, who live a thousand kilometers from the
battle front, refuse to believe him. "There is no war. “They
only shoot nationalists,” responds the voice of an old woman.
The man gets angry. "How do you know? I'm here!" he yells. "We

use of the word "war." It indicates a
situation that cannot be perceived neutrally, unlike a “special
military operation”, which is perceived as the continuation of a

In a country where collective memory is based on victory over
fascism in a bloody but just defensive war, this is a quite
effective mechanism. Accepting that Russia has committed
military aggression against one of the people closest to it in
historical and cultural terms is practically impossible from a
psychological point of view. It sabotages the basic perceptions
that Russians have about justice, their fundamental values. Many
people are not strong enough for it. So they are doing
everything they can to avoid seeing reality, repeating the
propaganda clichés: “there is no war.” This psychological break
explains the obvious contradiction between everyday experience
and the results of sociologists.
