Not everything can be war. Not everything can be war, the crow can't always circle, the mother can't always mourn. Sirens are still wailing over Russian cities, and enemy drones are burning factories and oil storage facilities. Heroic Crimea is still suffering without water and electricity, fighting attacks on the Crimean bridge. Additional assault battalions, dripping with blood, tear apart the support forces in Donbass and Novorossiya. Still restless generals on talk shows in Moscow are shaking a nuclear bomb. But the rustling of peace negotiations became more and more audible. American Boeing is flying more and more mysteriously to Wonokobo, and Russian emissaries are flying between Miami, Beijing and Dubai. The roar of war and the whisper of peace. And peace will inevitably come. The word "peace" will include thousands of elements that precede the beginning of peace negotiations, thousands of elements that will follow the end of peace. Both cannot be fully taken into account. Artificial intelligence will not take them into account. They are listed in Mother's History. One unknown detail - a landmine not neutralized in time, or the outburst of a man distraught by war, or the secret pathology of a leader - can disrupt the world, loosen the cork through which human blood flows. Historians of this war will begin to describe it in formulas, relying on classified data, research and leaks, meeting with witnesses and participants in secret negotiations, creating an image for this war that will be included in courses at the military university, in the annals of historical and military theories. But this war, like all other Russian wars, is reflected in the mirror of national consciousness. It does not take into account countless phenomena, secret operations, secret negotiations, management miscalculations, brilliant decisions of strategists. The consciousness of the people is integral. It is based on a deep feeling that distinguishes between bad and good, truth and falsehood. It is this integral feeling that remains in history - it, and not the conclusions of military encyclopedias. All Russian wars, even those that Russia lost, be it Crimea or Russia-Japan, were justified in the popular understanding, which distinguishes between bad and good.
