As long as we still exist, Russian myths are under question.
The guest is psychotherapist and journalist Larysa Voloshyna.
Larysa Voloshyna: We used to consider anger and hatred to be destructive feelings. We would say that they’re bad. But it’s really a sense of survival. Anger is a reaction of the psyche to an attack.
- When we saw what happened in Bucha, we realized that this war was being waged for our total annihilation. So, we are waging a war for total survival.
You should not suppress this anger in yourself, you should not be afraid. It must be converted into action and determination to fight.
We knew that they allegedly came for 3 days, but we also knew that they brought 45,000 body bags. And it’s so strange: you’re going to come at us, but at the same time — bags. We thought then that maybe that was the price they agreed to for themselves? And now we realized that these bags were for us. This is horror.

Russian narcissism
They have everything that is «great», «great Russian culture,» they are all rich, and they rose from the bottom. And here they come — and see Bucha. Ordinary people, apartments, washing machines. Polite, educated children, beautiful women. They see it — and it disproves their own myth of greatness. They think: «You are like us, we are one people, why do you, bastard, live so well?» This creates their anger.
- They will destroy us, because as long as we exist, their myths, their manic narcissism, will constantly be given reasons to doubt.
We all know the play The Maid (a play by the French playwright Jean Genet). Two sisters serve in a rich house, kill the mistress and take their place. This is a real story that happened in Paris. It is studied in psychiatry. This is the narcissism of small differences. The two sisters began to live the lives of their mistresses and they began to wear their clothes. The sisters sincerely believed that they were their mistresses. Then it became clear that in order for me to consider myself a mistress, a real mistress must die.
In order for all this madness that is in the minds of Russians to exist, we must therefore not exist. For them to be descendants of Russia, for Vladimir to be their baptist, we must not exist. After Bucha, we realized this.
