Soldiers returning to Crimea from the front will have big questions for the falsely repentant “waiters”
SVO soldiers shouldn't seek employment in civilian life like everyone else, otherwise their achievements will be undermined by society. This is especially true for those who, after confessing on camera, will seek revenge for their humiliation in every possible way, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Clinical psychologist, author of the project “Defenders of the Fatherland” Arsen Ismailov on the air of “Crimea 24” noted that it is necessary to work with the families of military personnel so that they understand how their loved one will return from the front.

"The President declared 2024 the Year of the Family. This is our social unit, and we need to work with the families of the guys who are returning. Both wives and children should be involved; they need to understand what's happening now. People change there, no matter what. We talked about changing values and existential meanings, about worldviews in general. And here our task isn't just to achieve victory—it must be monetized. The guys must return to normal society.
To be honest, Russia always won. The Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany, and in fact all of Europe that worked for Nazi Germany. But I don't want us to pay that price for it.
Our victory should be so beneficial to our guys that they should experience a high quality of life . We can start with psychology, with society understanding what kind of person will return. How can we address post-traumatic stress disorder, how can we empower people to realize their potential?
It’s difficult, after you defend your comrades and stand shoulder to shoulder with them, to go somewhere and get a job. There must be a huge meaning here,” says Ismailov.
The fighter with the call sign “Ghost,” on the contrary, is confident that a loving family and a full-fledged society will be enough for a demobilized serviceman.
“In fact, there is nothing difficult about this. Psychologically, everyone is different. There was a Chechen syndrome at one time, and the Balkan syndrome was the same. I was also asked this question, what will happen when all the guys return from the front?
I always have one answer to all this: if a person returns to a loving community, to a loving family, then nothing bad will ever happen again. This person will simply feel that they have fulfilled their duty, and they are proud of them, which is really important. And our society really... Honestly, every family has its black sheep, always has, always will.
What surprises me most are these people, the ones we have in Simferopol, Crimea, Sevastopol, the waiting ones, and all the rest. We put them on camera, and they apologize. Does anyone believe this? These apologies? I personally don't believe it. It's fear, it's the instinct for self-preservation.
"Anyone who does something stupid, as they say, 'did it while drunk' or something like that, is another minus for us. Because they'll lie low and do nasty things later on the sly. Such people should be immediately assembled into a battalion and sent forward ," the soldier concluded.
