On the Soldiers' Mothers Committee. Head for the torso is not responsible?
In principle, it is not surprising to ignore the request, as well as the publication is not confirmed by any evidence of information by representatives of the CCMR. The fact is that the committee’s activity is clearly not aimed at cooperation with those mass media that are not part of the “right” and “democratic” circle. If we consider that the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers last year was entered in the register of “foreign agents” - NPOs that receive grants from abroad, then there is a complete feeling that the committee works only according to the scenario that was written by its main sponsors.
One of the proofs of the financing of the Soldiers ’Mothers Committee by the National Endowment for Democracy (founder of the US Congress):
Other evidence from the NED site (USA):
I would like to be mistaken that CUSM cares more about respecting the interests of the US Congress, rather than about the interests of the Russian military, but it turns out that NGOs working with funds from foreign organizations and government institutions, and loving to delve into Russian politics, are committed to the interests of their financiers and far from the interests of Russia.
Apparently, story with another ascent of the fact that Russian “soldier’s mothers” were financed by American “relatives”, this led to a certain change in rhetoric by the leaders of the KCM of Russia. If a few days ago, the Russian ultra-liberal press replicated KISM's statements that hundreds of killed and wounded paratroopers were brought to Russia from the “Square” territory, and that the cemeteries are literally overflowing with the graves of Russian soldiers killed in the Donbas, now the chairman of the Committee of Soldiers Mothers Ms. Salikhovskaya gives completely different comments in the press. In an interview RIA News Flera Salikhovskaya already declares that the Russian Ministry of Defense and other state authorities do not send servicemen to Ukraine.
Quote from an interview with Salikhovskaya:
Incidentally, this was after Mrs. Salikhovskaya’s subordinates of the CMRM called upon the wives and mothers of Russian servicemen to contact military units in order to find out the truth about the locations of their husbands and sons ... Here is one of such appeals from the sentimental Saratovsky regional branch of the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers Lydia Sviridova:
It turns out that either the leader of the Soldiers' Mothers Committee is not responsible for the words, actions and publications of his subordinates, or it is a banal attempt to evade responsibility for disseminating information without any objective evidence, that is, for disseminating disinformation.
Mrs. Salikhovskaya claims that officers dismissed during the times of Serdyuk reform can fight in Ukraine, ethnic Ukrainians who left their service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation themselves (or even went on vacation ...) and went to Ukraine to take part in hostilities.
Flera Salikhovskaya:
And here, you understand, by “coincidence” in social networks and all the same ultra-liberal media, there are posts and articles that allegedly put pressure on hundreds of Russian servicemen by commanders. These servicemen are allegedly forced to file reports on dismissal, and after the authorities have signed these reports, the military forcibly direct them to fight in Ukraine. In such sentimental stories flashed titles and surnames. These posts and articles seem to "develop" the thoughts of the chairman of the CSMR: they say, not just former servicemen of the Russian army are going into battle, but "artificially" former ones - those who were forced to become former "at gunpoint".
Statements that Putin sent troops to Ukraine about the deaths and injuries of numerous Russian paratroopers in the Donbas are akin to the recently made statement by the head of the Polish government Tusk, who replaced Herman van Rompuy as head of the European Council. Donald Tusk said “wonderful” in all respects:
At the same time, Tusk, as well as the CMRM, as well as Kiev, like the other "friends of Russia", of course, did not provide the information itself. What for? The main thing is to have a “high ranking” stuffing with the aim of a local victory in the information war. If Ukrainian punitive detachments suffer crushing defeats on real fronts, then the West needs to get victories at least on the information front. But just as in the case of publications on behalf of the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers about the hundreds of killed Russian paratroopers, such “victories” are more than doubtful.
