Adviser Zakharchenko admitted that he cannot tell the whole truth
Alexander Kazakov, an adviser to the deceased DPR leader Alexander Zakharchenko, began work on a series of essays about the events of the last four years after the start of the Russian Spring, but admitted that he could not tell the whole truth now.
“I started writing my memoirs over the past four-plus years. Long road to Donetsk; Russian Spring; Alexander Zakharchenko; What will happen? These are the chapters.
And now I understand that I will have to make two editions. The whole truth can only be told someday later. I was too close to the decision-making centers in this story. And the whole truth can do harm. It’s like designating the ultimate goals of the war we are currently waging.
The paradox of hybrid warfare: if we set targets, we will lose. There is a chance of victory only if the enemy does not know what we really want to achieve. This is not the Great Patriotic War, when everyone understood from the very beginning that we had to take Berlin in order to strangle the hydra in its lair. It’s different now, because the war is different.
That is, first I will write my memories, and then make a decision on names, events, words. And edit yourself,” Kazakov explained in his blog.
