#24 'I fought against Nazis with the Soviets, now I flee Putin's war', May 11th:
Arkady: 'I heard that the shells were flying and immediately realised that this was a war. Even though they said it wouldn't happen.' Caption: 'At 92 years old, Arkady had to flee his home in Ukraine.' Arkady: 'Sirens wailed at night and shells flew like this and like that, and so much burning, bombs. It was so scary.' Caption: 'It's the second time he's had to run from war. As a young Jewish boy he became separated from his family while escaping the Nazis in World War Two. Arkady: 'They were shooting all the Jews. They were receiving bonuses for each one found. There was a cellar. I lived there for a month. The Germans went there twice but did not find me.' Caption: 'At the age of 11, he joined the local resistance fighting alongside the Soviet Army against the Nazis. Arkady: 'I had the same automatic weapon as everyone else. On my shoulders I had a bag with mines and grenades just in case. I participated with the grown-ups in these operations.' Caption: 'He never imagined he would be running from the Russians, leaving eight decades of his life behind.' Arkady: 'I didn't have time to take anything with me. I left in slippers. It was six in the morning. I closed the apartment, turned off the lights and that's it.' Caption: 'He's safe now at his daughter's house in Israel. But he's angry that Russia claims to be fighting Nazis again.' Arkady: 'Ukraine is a quiet and peaceful country. There are no fascists here. It's vice versa.' Caption: 'For him, 9 May - when Russia marks its victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two has always been a difficult day. This year, it's a tragedy.' Arkady: 'The parade is always festive. How can it be done when everything is on fire and burning all around?' Caption: 'And his message to the Russians...' Arkady: 'I have no words.' ***** Another human interest story that just happens to coincide with Ukrainian/Western propaganda aims and to undermine the Russian war effort by pushing as many emotive buttons as possible. Where are the videos of elderly Russian WW2 veterans who identify the threat of neo-Nazism in Ukraine and support the invasion and stated purpose to 'de-nazify' and disarm Ukraine? Polls of the Russian public's support for the war and the actions of the Putin government suggest that there would be plenty around and due impartiality would require giving at least as much sympathetic airtime to their stories. Not on the BBC.
