The following was re-posted yesterday by Russian journalist Aleksei Venediktov:

It is the true story of an incident involving an 87-year-old man on a bus in the center of Moscow. I have chosen to attach the article in its entirety in order to present the full story in all of its horror. The English translation is not the best, but it is clear enough to be understood. Please take a few moments to read it in its entirety.

And this is the victim of the story: Dmitry Pavlovich Grinchia — a kindly, peaceable old gentleman, minding his own business, who happened to express an opinion in a public place about Vladimir Putin’s bloodthirsty mercenaries, the Wagner Group, and had the misfortune to be overheard by the wrong people. He survived, but given the extent of his injuries and his age, he will never be the same.

Such is life in Putin’s Russia today.

Just sayin’ . . .
