Violence Comes Back

This week, Russians have been discussing the story of a doctor from Belgorod who approached a patient in his hospital and murdered him by hitting him on the head, openly and coldly. The murder was recorded on video but all of the doctors at the killer’s hospital support him, and the maximum sentence he’ll get for the murder is 2 years.

Belgorod is the town on the border with Ukraine through which Russian tanks and troops moved in the direction of the neighboring country. It’s hilarious to see Russians cluck like scared hens, “How is this possible? Where is all this violence coming from?” now that the glorification of Russia’s unprovoked violence against Ukraine has born fruit within Russia itself.
