Fellow ethnographer and a great guy was murdered by Russians. Let's not forget the human cost of war and imperial ambitions.
A colleague and an amazing human being died near Bakhmut last week. This is a huge loss

@wallacemick I suppose ordinary Ukrainians who volunteered to join the military in thousands are "wealthy elites" according to Mick Wallace. But "less privileged" Irish MP from European Parliament will tell them what to do, no worries!

He mentions among others people burning alive in their houses. He also reportedly cut open pregnant women's bellies - as a form of enterteinment. Besides that, Zass had also one more hobby - collecting severed heads of killed Circassians.
This man is general Grigory Zass. An officer in the Russian army in the XIX century. In the 1830s Zass was tasked with crushing resistance towards russian rule from Circassians. His name would soon become forever associated with bloodshed and inhuman cruelty towards innocent

@RealCynicalFox "It's better to go through life not having seen some things." "not having seen" means not doing anything about it. And so it will repeat again and again. How about not looking away? How about fucking convert this into rage and finally help Ukraine? Where are F-16?

This all happened before in Ichkeria. And everybody in the West decided to look away. They decided not-to-know, so that they could go on with their 'normal' lives. And so it wasn't stopped. And so it happens again. The worst part is: everybody will look away again
If anyone thinks the beheading video is Ukrainian propaganda, too monstrous to be real, here’s an excerpt from Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya’s book on the Chechen War, where Russian soldiers speak with relish about dismembering the flesh of people from the Caucasus 1/2
