During the Russian-Ukrainian war 2022, Russian soldiers make varied graphic artefacts in the occupied Ukrainian territories. These graffiti are very interesting from the viewpoint of cultural anthropology and social psychology.
Messages of Russian soldiers, probably, demonstrate few important motivative drivers:
- chronic feelings of resentment towards the whole world and deep frustration in one's own life,
- aggression, hate and violence as a routine way of life, and as the revenge for a wasted life,
- chronic guilt, which is compensated by secondary aggression.
