"Я 4 года сижу в военных чатах и вот, что там пишут" - Писатель Мария Рупасова

For four years, writer Maria Rupasova has been reading closed chat rooms where the wives and mothers of Russian military personnel communicate—at least 40 chat rooms, with approximately 350,000 women. She describes how the "economics" of war works: lifting allowances of up to 4 million rubles, the "death" 13 million rubles that divide families and are held by the state, and the cards with PIN codes that remain with commanders. And most importantly, how sentiment has changed over four years: from "we're waiting for victory" to "damned war" and the first talk that "the government might change." Maria Rupasova is preparing a book, "Rates," a chronicle of these chat rooms. 00:00 What is this episode about? 02:21 Portrait: "Elena Smirnova, 40" - who are these women? 05:27 Money, fear, or debt: why are husbands sent off to war? 09:10 Relocation allowances of up to 4 million - and why families don't see them? 13:54 Are women trying to fight: petitions and Victoria Bonya? 20:24 Twisted logic: drones as a justification for war? 28:12 40 chats, 350,000 women: the word "victory" has disappeared. 31:13 Psychological split: hero or "sold out for 18 million"? 34:47 Chat rules: criticism of command = "discrediting the army" 47:17 "Power may change": the first forbidden conversations 49:23 May 2026: in a pro-war world A link to Shulman was given in the chat 53:15 Domestic violence among returnees: "film," weapons, apartment explosions 59:03 The book "Price List": when will it be released and why is it needed Become a YouTube channel donor so we can make more interesting videos: Phone transfer: 7-921-7720620 (banks: Sberbank, Avangard) Avangard Bank card: 4706 7403 5000 1251 - one-time donations Regular subscription (in Russia): https://boosty.to/vnechay Patreon (not available in Russia):   / echospb   USDT (BEP20): 0xADb524cE8c2009e727f6dF4b6a443D455c700244 USDT(ERC20): 0xADb524cE8c2009e727f6dF4b6a443D455c700244 USDT(TRC20): TRFU8dNGSvt9BPeFyddn1L6T9Z36AfLXz5 Etherium: 0xADb524cE8c2009e727f6dF4b6a443D455c700244 Dogecoin - DBLCDJyjWxRTR2hTAuyVBV5PEodg9qu1xB Dash- XdkjKUxYAppGoetcivTjpVPc3QpkVGG4zw Litecoin — LTC - ltc1quuc5gawdemzq2380ap7ahlx9e04x87qm76nhwq Become a channel sponsor and you'll gain access to exclusive bonuses.
