A childhood friend said: “I would shoot you myself!”

"В России начинается гражданская война между теми, кто за войну и кто против" | Александр Огиенко
“A civil war begins in Russia between those who are for the war and those who are against”

“If they gave me a machine gun, I would shoot you myself. A friend with whom we were sitting in the same sandbox told me this.” Alexander Ogienko believes that Russia today is on the brink of civil war.

In August 1991, he went out to defend the White House, and in February 2022 he went to an anti-war picket. He was detained and beaten. In September he received a summons. He miraculously managed to leave Russia. Ready to return when the political situation begins to change. But he doesn’t really believe that this will happen during his lifetime.
