This year, the famous US web resource MentalFloss.com published its latest ranking of amazing places on our planet. This time the rating is really quite unusual! The list is made up of buildings and structures built from... bones. Moreover, most of the “bone miracles” are built precisely from human remains, which should serve as a symbol of the inevitability of death. However, there are also specimens made from the bones of animals, including rare ones, such as dinosaurs. Want to know more about them? Then our rating today with a description of the features of each of the bone structures is especially for you.

1. Tower of skulls Čele Kula, Niš, Serbia

This tower ranks first in the ranking of the world's greatest bone wonders. And although its height today does not exceed 15 feet, and there are only 58 skulls left here, it still looks quite terrifying. The Čele Kulu Tower is located a few kilometers from the city of Niš in Serbia. In 1809, here, on Mount Cegar, the Serbian uprising was brutally suppressed by the Terks. More than a thousand rebels were killed, and the Turkish Pasha Khurshid collected 952 skulls and ordered the construction of a tower from them - to intimidate enemies and those who were planning to rebel against Ottoman Empire. Over time, relatives of the rebels gradually took away the skulls and reburied them in the cemetery. How the relatives identified their relatives remains unknown to this day. However, by the end of the 19th century, only 58 skulls remained in the tower, and a chapel was built on top of the tower to avoid their theft. In 1979, Čele Kula was recognized as a Serbian cultural monument of exceptional importance.

2. Chapel of Skulls, Kudow, Poland


This unique religious building truly makes you feel awe. It contains about 300 human skulls and countless interconnected tibia bones - the strongest in the human body, as is known. One day in 1776, local parish priest Vaclav Tomaszek accidentally came across a human skull and crossbones. He called the undertakers. Together they dug huge amount human bones. It was a mass burial of victims of the Thirty Years' War of 1618-1648, the three Silesian Wars of 1740-1763 and other military conflicts. Some people died from starvation, cholera or other deadly infections. The bones were carefully cleaned and bleached, and subsequently “decorated” the walls of the local chapel. Priest Vaclav carefully ensured that the bones were evenly spaced along the walls, creating a unique ornament. His own skull is located in the center of the building on the altar. The small Baroque chapel is set on a square base and is located between Bartholomew's Church and the free-standing bell tower.

3. Ossuary of bones in Sedlec, Czech Republic


From the outside, this crypt, full of bones and human remains, looks like a modest monastery. It is also known as the “Bone Church of Kutna Hora”. However, this ossuary inside simply amazes with its “exquisite” interior. Everything here is made of bones: a chandelier, a candelabra, ornaments and decoration on the walls and ceiling, and even garlands. About 40,000 human skeletons were used to decorate the chapel. In the Middle Ages, a cemetery was built in the town of Sedlec, which later became very popular among local residents. In 1400, a Gothic chapel was built in the center of the cemetery, the tomb of which served as a warehouse for bones removed from the graves, since there was not enough space in the cemetery. The chapel was later closed and given to the Schwarzenberg family, who in 1870 hired woodcarver Frantisek Rint to tidy up the pile of stacked bones. This is how the remarkable interiors of the chapel were created, among which, in addition to the chandelier, the altar monstrances are noteworthy, as well as the large Schwarzenberg family coat of arms and the signature of Master Rint, also made of bones.

4. Chapel Dos Ossos, Évora, Portugal


It is not surprising that the name of the chapel is literally translated as “Chapel of Bones.” It is really built from human bones and skulls, connected with mortar and replacing bricks. The chapel was built in the 16th century by a Franciscan monk who, in the spirit of that time, sought to convey to his brothers in faith the idea of ​​the inevitability of death. Above the entrance to the chapel there is an inscription that reads: “The bones that are here are waiting for your bones.” The interior of this gloomy three-bay chapel consists entirely of bones and skulls, and the ceiling is frescoed with the theme of death. The number of monk skeletons is approximately 5,000, all of them collected from nearby cemeteries that were destroyed. Two dried corpses, one of which belongs to a child, hang from chains. On the roof of the chapel is written the phrase “Better the day of death than the day of birth.” A rather gloomy place, in general, it is very popular among tourists who want to tickle their nerves.

5. Ossuary in Eggenburg, Austria


This crypt is one of the earliest such monuments in all of Europe. The date of its construction is not known for certain, but the crypt was presumably built in 1405 or so. Initially it was the tomb of local rulers, which later changed into a ossuary. The collected bones were subsequently simply installed in the walls using cement mortar. At the same time, letters and inscriptions can be seen on the walls, fancy patterns made from human bones. In total, about 6 thousand bones were used.

6. House made of dinosaur bones, Wyoming, USA


Well, finally, we have come to the original bone structure, which is not made from human remains. Moreover, the bones of not even ordinary animals, but prehistoric dinosaurs were used for this! At first glance, the small house seems to be decorated with stone. However, some 5,796 dinosaur bones were used in its construction, recovered from excavations at Como Bluff, the site where dinosaur remains were among the first to be discovered. This house was originally built as part of a gas station along a busy highway in 1930. Thomas Boylan collected bones for seventeen years, intending to assemble them into dinosaur sculptures in front of his home and gas station. But he soon realized that these were the remains of different varieties, and a whole dinosaur could not be assembled from them. He had to abandon the original idea and build a house from the collected bones, which is now one of the most popular roadside attractions in the United States.

7. Church of Santa Maria della Concezione, Rome, Italy


Rome is truly a city-museum, and here, too, there is a bone structure. The Capuchin Church of Santa Maria della Concezione was built according to the design of Antonio Casoni in 1626-31 and decorated with paintings by Guido Reni (Michael the Archangel), Caravaggio (St. Francis), Pietro da Cortona and Domenichino. The church has several chapels with the relics of Catholic saints. However, in addition to this, there are very unusual decorations made from human bones. After the church was built, the remains of the monks buried in the neighboring cemetery were transferred to it. Gradually they were made decorative ornaments the entire interior of the church. IN total The bones of about 4,000 monks are collected here, and intricate designs and ornaments are laid out from them. And in one of the halls there is an entire skeleton of Princess Barberini, the niece of Pope Sixtus V, who died in childhood. The entire interior is decorated in Baroque style, and it was this Roman church that served as the inspiration for the creation of the Ossuary of Bones in Sedlec, Czech Republic.

8. Cattle Bone House, Texas, USA


Unlike Europe, as we have already noticed, in the United States they prefer not to frighten the impressionable population with structures made from human bones. Animal bones are used here for construction. The house made from cattle bones, built by decorative artist Dan Philipps in Texas, took 15 years to build. The bones here are used not only for the frame of the structure itself, but also for very skillful decoration - both external and interior. This includes flooring and stairs, railings and door handles, armchairs, stools and other furniture, and even a bar counter! Bone country house The Bone House consists of three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious workshop and a patio with an eerie-looking gazebo made using a variety of specially treated bones from various pets and livestock. The house can be rented, but to avoid problems with psychopaths, Phillips accepts applications only from real artists and sculptors who can appreciate the artistic significance of the house and present a portfolio of their work.

9. Huts made of mammoth bones, p. Mezhirich, Ukraine


In ancient times, people built their huts from huge and very durable mammoth bones. This is evidenced by excavations, mainly in Ukraine and Southern Russia. Thus, in the vicinity of the Ukrainian village of Mezhirich there are huts made of mammoth bones that have been perfectly preserved to this day. In the fall of 1965, a local collective farmer was rebuilding a cellar in his yard, and at a depth of about two meters, a shovel came across something solid. It turned out - lower jaw mammoth... This is how traces of human settlement from the late Paleolithic were discovered. The primitive dwelling resembled a yaranga with an internal area equal to modern one-room apartment- about 23 square meters. In the center of the structure, in a recess, there was a fireplace with a diameter of about half a meter. About 400 mammoth bones were discovered here, which were used as building material, as well as a huge number of different tools, jewelry and even ancient map terrain, made with red ocher on the frontal part of a mammoth skull.

10. Monastery of Saint Francis, Lima, Peru


The monastery and church of St. Francis were built in Lima during the colonial era. The first church building (1557) was built of clay and wood; it collapsed during the earthquake of 1656, and in 1672 a new temple was erected on the same site, designed by the Portuguese architect Constantino de Vasconcelos. It has survived to this day almost unchanged. In addition to the monastic buildings itself, the monastery complex includes a temple, the chapels of La Soledad and El Milagro, as well as a labyrinth of catacombs. The deep crypt is a huge cemetery - over 70,000 graves. The bodies were laid in several layers and sprinkled with lime, and after the tissues had decomposed, the bones were selected and placed for storage. Human remains here are laid out in neat circles, symbolizing the flow of life and the inevitability of death. Today, the monastery houses the Museum of Religion and Art.

On Baykovovo opposite the church there are several old graves. In summer, when the leaves bloom, they are practically invisible. There is an old crypt in gothic style, such a mini-copy of a Catholic cathedral.

Several old buildings are dug into the mountain.

It is difficult to determine to what time they belong - almost all the dates have been erased.

Only a few names remained - the Diatelovich family, Alexander and Maria Tyshevich, Vaclav and Natalya Gorsky, honorary citizens of Kyiv Mikhail and Agrippina Matveev. One of the most recent burials in the crypt dates back to 1922.

In fact, the coffins themselves are no longer inside the buildings; no one knows what happened to them.

The crypts themselves look like small houses, their dimensions are approximately 2 by 4 square meters. m, height 2-2.5 m.

It is quite difficult to determine their style.

There is also Gothic style, classical columns, a crypt similar to a synagogue.

There are those reminiscent of the pseudo-Russian style - with small “onions” at the top and seemingly inflated proportions.

Back in the early 50s, there were magnificent mausoleums here (especially in the Catholic and Lutheran sections), inside of which you could wander as if through the halls of a museum.

The central alley of the main Kyiv necropolis did not look the same as it does today.

Once consisting of the tombstones of pre-revolutionary magnates, philanthropists and representatives of the local elite, it led directly to the cemetery Ascension Church, built famous architect Vladimir Nikolaev. Opposite the temple stood a graceful building, reminiscent of a Polish church - with a pointed dome, a wide arch and high lancet windows. It was the tomb of some important person, whose name no one remembers for a long time. Beyond the intersection of roads there was another blue marble tombstone in the form of a chapel with through columns. It was rumored that inside this structure there was a bust of the deceased, famous Kyiv merchant Grigory Gladynyuk, famous for his charitable deeds. Like many other “bourgeois” monuments, this grave was demolished. Now in its place stands the tombstone of the poet Pavel Tychyna, and in place of the miniature “church” there are bronze busts of Heroes Soviet Union Generals Slyusarenko and Lavrinenko...

But there are some left ancient crypts, which still attract you and set you in a romantic mood... Here is the pompous tomb of Mikhail Aristarkhov, crowned with two exotic spiers and a cross.

Its facade is decorated with a beautiful bronze bas-relief depicting the Archangel Michael, dressed in knightly armor, slaying Satan with a fiery sword. The solution to the gospel plot is so unusual that the painful grimace of Lucifer with goat horns even evokes sympathy.

The Tyshevich burial vault is nearby. The building is reminiscent of the well-known building of the Karaite kenasa on Yaroslavov Val, 7, well known to Kiev residents.

The same decorative arch, placed on two columns, a similar half-dome sphere and the same stucco ornament.

You can feel the handwriting of Vladislav Gorodetsky. There is no documentary evidence of this, although it is known that the architect designed some mausoleums for the Baikovo cemetery.

But the Diatelovich tomb - a triangular pediment, Corinthian pilasters, a cross and semicircular niches for sculptures...

The emphasis of religious architecture is present everywhere. On the territory of the Old Cemetery you can see a luxurious (albeit neglected) Gothic castle; its dome is very similar to the majestic completion of the Church of St. Nicholas on the street. B. Vasilkovskaya.

This is the so-called “Witte Mausoleum”, designed by Vladislav Vladislavovich Gorodetsky - the largest architect not only of Kyiv, where he built a lot, but also of Ukraine as a whole, Poland, Iran...

This is what a meticulous researcher of the life and work of the architect, Dmitry Vasilyevich Malakov, writes: “...Polish biographers of Gorodetsky point to the “monument and mausoleum of Count Witte”... The Witte Mausoleum stands on the highest point of the hill occupied by the Old Baikovo Cemetery, and at first, it had not yet grown here tall trees, dominated the valley of the Lybid River, visible from its left bank - the New Structure, where two sharp spiers of the Roman Catholic Church of St. Nicholas. Both buildings of the architect Gorodetsky seemed to echo in this space above Lybid - the same architecture, with identical spiers, in refined Gothic forms, with concrete structures and design.” Now here underfoot are fragments of towers, a collapsing façade, rusty, finely crafted gates that once closed the entrance to the crypt, empty vodka bottles, and even some semblance of a homeless person’s rookery on the site of the grave, which is not threatened by any police. It’s scary, gentlemen, very scary, what we have come to in an independent power free from all obligations!

Another of the famous mausoleums, erected in 1909 at the Baikovo New Cemetery, northeast of the cemetery Church of the Ascension of Christ, is in a neglected and unkempt state.

Here is what Dmitry Malakov writes about it: “Among the modest graves and tombstones in a small area rises a massive, mournfully monumental chapel with a cut-off top, more like a mass burial vault, resembling proportions famous monuments- on Shipka in Bulgaria or near Leipzig in Germany. The same square plan at the base, tapering upward, elongated verticals, narrow light slits raised high above the ground.

This tower-like mausoleum, once not blocked by trees, was also clearly visible from the New Building, from the canvas railway Kyiv-Bryansk. Main facade, facing here, to the east, is designed specifically for perception from a long distance with its laconic and large-scale division.”

In the center of the mausoleum there is a tall eight-pointed cross with a crown of thorns in the middle part.

The mausoleum was surrounded on both sides by mourning angels - a marvelously beautiful sculpture.

The entire architectural ensemble is made in Art Nouveau style.

The old cemetery is an incredibly mystical place, with abandoned chapels and destroyed tombstones. And the crypts seem to be some kind of transition to other world. Since ancient times, chapels and churches have hidden secrets under their floors, sometimes there are real cities from the dead.


Although terrifying to all, the crypts offer an economic solution to overpopulation. In many places of the body, initially short term They were buried and then transferred to an ossuary, where they were stored with many other remains. The first mention of crypts dates back to the culture of Zoroastrians in Persia 3000 years ago, from them this tradition was adopted by the Catholic, Orthodox and Jewish religious traditions.




Capela dos Ossos, whose name translates as “chapel of bones”, is one of the most famous historical monuments, causing both admiration and horror. It was built by Franciscan monks at the turn of the 15th-16th centuries next to the Church of St. Francis as a symbol of the frailty of life. True, there was a more practical purpose for construction. At that time, there were already 42 cemeteries in Évora, so all the bones had to be collected in one place. But in order to demonstrate the inevitability of death, the monks decided not to hide the remains, but to widely use them in decoration.




The interior of the Church of St. Francis is striking with its golden altar and blue tiles. Above the entrance to the ossuary there is an inscription: “We, the bones that are here, are waiting for you.” Inside, human bones and skulls cover almost all the walls and columns. It is estimated that there are about 5,000 skeletons in the crypt. An interesting fact is that the remains of the monks who built the chapel are not on public display. They are kept in a small white coffin.




Built in 1776-1804. The Chapel of Skulls in the Polish town of Czermna is the brainchild of parish priest Vaclav Tomaszek, who used the bones of 3,000 people to build a small baroque church. Behind an ordinary wooden door hides an amazing and frightening interior. Skulls and shin bones cover the walls and ceiling. Under the floor is a huge grave containing the remains of another 21 thousand people who died during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), or from famine and cholera.

The priest personally collected, cleaned and carefully arranged all the remains. The altar included bones of local celebrities or unusual skulls: with bullet holes, deformed by syphilis. When the author of the mystical project himself died, his skull also ended up on the altar.

Church of San Bernardino alle Ossa (or St. Bernardino on the Bones), Milan, Italy




The crypt in the Church of San Bernardino, dating from 1210, was built more for practical reasons. The adjacent hospital cemetery had grown, and a crypt had to be urgently built to transfer the remains there. And only in 1269 the church building was added, which was destroyed many centuries later during a fire. In 1776 it was rebuilt due to the unprecedented interest of the population in the crypt.




The subdued light and azure sky with angels by Sebastian Ricci at first distract from the details that make up the prayer room. But after a few seconds the gaze concentrates on the remains of the former Milanese. Bones and skulls are arranged in crosses, above which are the initials of Mary Magdalene, as well as a reminder of death: "Momento Mori".




The Capuchin Crypt is a crypt located under the floor of the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione. Divided into five parts, the crypt contains the remains of more than 4,000 Capuchin monks buried between 1500 and 1870. Before using the remains for decoration, they were kept buried for at least 30 years. In addition to bones and skulls, several complete skeletons dressed in Franciscan clothing hang on the walls. The Church insists that the Capuchin Crypt is a silent testimony to the frailty of earthly life, and not a gloomy tourist attraction. Be that as it may, the inscription above the entrance in three languages ​​makes you think: “You are now who we once were; You will still be who we are now.”




Located in a small chapel at the Church of All Saints, the ossuary has become one of the most famous in the whole world, and, admittedly, the most sinister. This is not just a ossuary, here mortal remains are turned into decorative objects, for example, lamps, coats of arms, garlands. When Abbot Gentry returned from the Holy Land in 1278 with a handful of earth from Golgotha, which he scattered around the cemetery grounds, Sedlec became a popular burial site.




Soon the cemetery became overcrowded, and the chapel in the church was turned into an ossuary. But it was not until 1870 that woodworker František Rint began creating masterpieces from long-buried bones.




The Monastery of St. Francis boasts not only a world-famous library and a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, but also an ossuary in the catacombs under the church. It is believed that the remains of 70 thousand people rest in the catacombs, which were remembered only in 1943. The skulls are laid out in circles separated from each other by bones.
In the modern world, the problem of lack of land for cemeteries is solved in a completely different way. In India they offered

A high school student from Novy Urengoy, who, speaking in the Bundestag, said that not all German soldiers wanted to fight, was accused in Russia of... justifying Nazism. And soon after this, the FSB sent a request to the mayor’s office of Novy Urengoy about... the schoolboy’s Ukrainian roots

On November 19, Germany celebrated the Day of Mourning - the whole country remembered the victims of wars and state violence. One of the high-profile events this time was the performance in the Bundestag of Russian and German schoolchildren, who jointly studied the biographies of the victims of the Second World War. Russia was represented by students from Novy Urengoy gymnasium No. 1, which has long practiced the exchange of student delegations with German schools, and Germany by gymnasium students from the city of Kassel.

Children read reports from the Bundestag rostrum about the fate of specific people. The Germans spoke about Red Army officer Ivan Gusev, who fell ill with tuberculosis in Nazi captivity and was released in 1945, and about 17-year-old Nadezhda Truvanova from Kirovograd, who was taken to work in Germany, where she died.

*Schoolchildren from Russia spoke in the Bundestag about German soldiers who died or went missing during World War II

The Russians told about German soldiers who died or went missing at the front. Thus, Nikolai Desyatnichenko spoke about the fate of the participant Battle of Stalingrad Georg Johann Rau - one of the 250 thousand German soldiers who were then surrounded. Rau got into Soviet camp for prisoners of war. His family only learned last year that he died at 21.

Desyatnichenko admitted to the audience that the story of Georg Johann Rau touched him so much that he even visited Kopeisk Chelyabinsk region, not far from which there is a mass grave site for Wehrmacht soldiers: "I saw the graves innocently dead people, many of whom wanted to live peacefully and did not want to fight. They experienced incredible hardships during the war. My great-grandfather, a war participant who was seriously wounded there, told me about this.”

Desyatnichenko concluded his report with a quote from Otto von Bismarck: “Anyone who has looked into the glassy eyes of a soldier dying on the battlefield will think twice before starting a war,” and added on his own: “I sincerely hope that common sense will prevail throughout the entire earth and the world will never see war again.”



*Nikolai Desyatnichenko

It would seem that this is the speech of a thinking smart person young man, trying to understand the history of his country, which has a lot of blank spots. However - once again! - it turned out that Russians do not want to know the truth at all: neither about the cost of the Victory, nor about the fact that Stalin and Hitler started the Second World War, nor about how this country treated the victors. Everything that happened after the trip in the “country that defeated fascism” suggests precisely this idea.

At first, Russian media wrote that the schoolboy “repented” for the dead German soldiers. Then they started harassing him on social networks. After a while, complaints began to pour in to the prosecutor's office, the administration of the President of Russia and the FSB.


*The recent neo-Nazi march in St. Petersburg was swallowed by Russians who took up arms against a high school student from Novy Urengoy in silence

It got to the point of insults and demands to be “thrown out of the country,” statements that he “can no longer live peacefully in Russia,” calls to be beaten for “rehabilitating Nazi criminals.”

A Deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Elena Kukushkina sent requests to the regional education department, the prosecutor's office and the gymnasium with a demand to check the student's speech for signs of justification of Nazism (for this, according to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, punishment is imposed). “I’m interested in the teachers who put this information into his mouth, where the emphasis is incorrectly placed”, said the deputy.

Next - continuous propaganda from the times of the USSR: “German soldiers did not fight, they attacked our country and occupied it. If we continue to place emphasis in this way, we will reach the point where we ourselves propose to reconsider the results of the Second World War. And then we will talk about the integrity of Russia as a state. “You cannot equate Hitler’s Germany with the USSR, which liberated the whole world from fascism.”

We must pay tribute Mayor of Novy Urengoy Ivan Kostogriz— he stood up for the teenager: “The student shared his discoveries that not all Germans wanted to fight, many just wanted to live peacefully. This should in no way be regarded as the boy’s attitude towards fascism. His speech on the example of the history of this German soldier calls for a peaceful existence throughout the entire earth and rejection of war, bloodshed, fascism, suffering and violence as such.” The gymnasium also said that “the whole school is perplexed by the discussion of the report.”

“There were traitors, there are traitors! Desyatnichenko Nikolay, you betrayed the memory of your grandfathers! It’s a pity that your parents were not captured by the Nazis, and subsequently to Auschwitz.”

“About Kolya from Urengoy. For 70 years, has at least one boy, Hans from Munich, been to Russia with repentance? No? Then into the firebox. The Russians have nothing to apologize for. They are the ones who should ask for our forgiveness. Dot".

“And the boy Kolenka doesn’t want to repeat this speech in front of people on Immortal Regiment in Stalingrad?!”

“Disgrace! The boy realized early on that it was profitable to water his country in the West.”

“I wonder if the boy who spoke in the Bundestag has already returned to the Russian Federation? I am tormented by vague doubts that he will not return now, he will ask for water. refuge and will bark even more at home.”

“I ask you to give a legal assessment of the actions of Nikolai Desyatnichenko in relation to parts 1 and 2 of Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Rehabilitation of Nazism.” I ask you to conduct an inspection at the gymnasium, including school curriculum in the subject “History”, in relation to parts 1 and 2 of Article 354.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. I propose to remove the mayor of Novy Urengoy from his post and send him in disgrace, without a pension, to Anadyr to teach this schoolboy the history of his homeland.”

“It is desirable for the Minister of Education of the Russian Federation to introduce mandatory requirements for the preparation of texts for schoolchildren’s speeches at any performances and any events in the Russian Federation and abroad. Appoint the school director and class teacher schoolboy. Such a shame as happened in Germany has not happened for a long time. What an agreement this Kolya has made. Shame on his parents and the entire school he attends. What do they teach children in this school in history lessons? Why is the city mayor not responsible for this speech? Parents should also be called to the prosecutor’s office to testify about this speech!”

“Does this Kolya even know how many Soviet citizens and Red Army soldiers were captured and in what conditions they lived? His knowledge is negligible, and his performance is a provocation. This cannot be ignored by the Russian Prosecutor’s Office and the Russian Minister of Education.”

Some responded ironically: “Well, we’ll bomb not Voronezh, but Novy Urengoy, right?”

Russian journalist Alexander Sotnik wrote about this surrealism on Facebook: “Everything in this story with a boy from Novy Urengoy, who spoke from the rostrum of the Bundestag and was subjected to furious persecution, is indicative. Solid symbolism.

That very case when the words of Christ “let the dead bury their dead” became a terrible reality.

Our stubborn zombies dug up the “victor grandfathers” and staged a magnificent funeral, stretching the procession over tens of thousands of kilometers and years of time. They come with coffins and wreaths, and do not allow living passage: they bite, strangle, gnaw...

On their way they caught him alive good boy. They devoured it. Gnawed to the bones. And, growling, they trudged on with “love for the coffins of their fathers”...

Crazy propaganda has turned the country into a crypt, inside of which there are continuous funerals, developing into some kind of devilish orgies. Run, boy, run..."

“The young man from Urengoy expressed, in essence, a completely obvious thought, wrote on social networks Victor Shenderovich. —Even banal. Twice two makes four, the Volga flows into the Caspian Sea, criminal armies consist of forced soldiers who pay with their lives for the ambitions of the leaders... What a monstrous poisonous silo must be pumped into people’s brains in order to make a guy a traitor to the Motherland! It’s a misfortune for such a Motherland, where a conscientious boy, capable of so acutely feeling someone else’s misfortune, will be forced to make excuses. May God help him endure this and come out of this situation strong and not broken.”

Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko wrote very poignantly: “A country that is destroying its youth with its own hands... Its future... Its best, the brightest that they have... This is the bottom. This is the end of the population. This is the end of everything human in man. And this is just the beginning of the process. Now Peskov is still speaking out in support. And then they will start planting. Amendments are already beginning to be pushed through. And then - and shoot. I hope this boy is bright, kind, good, honest, open... I hope he will endure it. I hope he doesn’t burn in a tank during the next war.

I hope he doesn’t kill anyone in the next war... This country is crippling its children. She crippled her sixty years ago, she still cripples her now. And first of all, those who do not fit into the new paradigm. Who is even an inch higher than a bottle of Zhiguli wine? The smartest, the purest, the brightest.

Bullying a child is one of the most perverted pathologies that human nature can reach.

These have arrived. Evacuate your children from Mordor, my brothers. Don't let them get mutilated. This is your responsibility."
