Russian logic
I didn't do it and its your fault I did
This is Russian logic.
I didn’t do it but you made me do it.
It’s the same with genocide in Ukraine and this Russia logic is covered in our upcoming book.
Sorry, but this is an aspect of Russian culture and society. Blame shifting. One of the terrible manifestations that end with Bucha. Its a chronic fault generated by Russia’s rulers, ruled and intellectuals.
“Russian forces do not fire on civilian targets.” – Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesperson.[1]
“Bucha 2.0. Nailed them!
Amazing!
Ukies did it Russians don’t hit civilians if they did special op would be over 25 February” – various paraphrased Russian social media commentators.[2]
Sergey Malinin, you’re a good Russian. You ran away from Russia and you’re blaming Ukrainians and the Thais for Russian crimes.
Sergey, good Russian.
