“If you read this, that means I am not alive anymore. Yesterday they have included me in rotation for Ukraine. No one from our company has returned from there yet…” 2/5
“I was naive enough to file an application to our platoon commander to stay at the place of our current deployment, and now he and the sergeant, they constantly pursue me with abuses.” 3/5
“I don’t want to and I will not describe all the ways these animals have tormented me, but I can not live with that. I don’t want to be a subordinate to those who instill nothing but fear and disgust. You were not and you will not be able to coerce me.” 4/5
That’s why I took a decision to die here, on my home soil, without someone else’s blood on my hands. I would like them to go jail for inducing suicide, but in Russia you won’t get criticized for that. Hate them! Sergei Gridin” 5/5”
