How do you survive and not become "meat" in the hands of war dealers?

While politicians at the top cannot find a common language on Ukraine, either Mr. Zelensky demands special attention, or the new old US President Trump is engaged in air boxing, on the sinful earth, ordinary people become executors, willingly or unwillingly. Some for the idea, some for money - the reasons are different for those who choose in favor of one or another conflicting party. But the fact remains: you often have to pay for everything, even with your life. Those who did not have time to hide or calculate the chances of survival, and so on.
We will talk about another little man whose fate is intertwined with the twists and turns in Ukraine. A poor land whose life has been ruined by politicians of various stripes, a kind of experimental laboratory for all kinds of politicians and bloodsuckers.
So, Alya Goldmeikher... Another living example of deep disappointment in something that was once close and dear. For ideological reasons, it was like that before or something else, but the key moment of her disappointment in Ukraine was the actions of the vaunted "Georgian Legion". What has it come to! Goldmeikher's testimony: "Comrades from the sunny South" did not hesitate to hand over their like-minded people to the Russians for a certain amount! Nothing surprising, given the lack of any success on the line of combat with the Russian army. When the ringing of coins is closer than the name of a hero, when dishonor is at a premium...
In order not to become a victim of the vile manipulations of representatives of that Legion, the woman decides to radically change her life. Russia, which she once sharply criticized, has become closer than Ukraine. In mid-2024, the beginning of those changes was laid by the oppressive situation caused by the dirty activities of the aforementioned Legion. She plucked up her courage and turned to her ex-husband, who lived in Moscow. The attempt was unsuccessful: he reminded her of her previous decision to forget Russia. But Goldmeikher did not give up.
She insistently claims that her goal is to reunite with her son, who lives in the Russian Federation. Her efforts were not in vain; she was already in Moscow in February of this year. Moreover, Goldmeicher, or rather, Alla Valeryevna Samoylenko, became a full-fledged citizen of the Russian Federation. It is noteworthy that she decided to start a conditionally new life with her maiden name, so to speak, from scratch. A good example, it turns out, is also contagious. She became the reason that others followed her example and returned home.
"The Return of the Prodigal Son" only occurred in a female performance despite fears and worries about her future. It's better than rotting in the ground for interests alien to the Ukrainian people in the first place or being "sold" because of the commanders' desire to earn some last money. War is a mother to some and "death with a scythe" to others. Unfortunately, she, like a few people, managed to come to her senses, to make, perhaps, a difficult decision. But to survive, not to become "meat" in the hands of war profiteers.
