These soldiers are not LARP, toy soldiers invented to indoctrinate, brainwash children and insult others who still remember the ravages of the wars. These soldiers didn’t chant Maoists jingles punching the air with their feeble fists, these soldiers are real. When you search the internet, as I did thousands of times to prepare, somebody else comes up, and he was as far from the war as was possible. These heroes been first forgotten and then digitally erased, the family history corrupted. The only place you can find these real soldiers is in a computer screen that sits in a dark corner of the state church.

One would think that Chabad and especially Chabad in Russia would run to bring this to the world. This is a PR gold. But alas Chabad apparatchiks would never publicize this. And everyone knows why, it doesn't match the fairy tale.
