“‘Total distrust’: rise of the Russian informers”
“Teachers, neighbours and even family members are turning to Soviet-style denunciations in wartime Russia”
“Varya Galkina, a smart and studious 10-year-old, began getting into trouble with her schoolteachers in Moscow last September, a few weeks into the new academic year.
First, they noticed she was regularly skipping the new Russian patriotism classes that had just been added to the national curriculum. Then they spotted that she had set a pro-Ukraine symbol as her profile picture on WhatsApp.
Varya was a star pupil, so her mother, mathematician Elena Jolicoeur, thought little of the fuss — until one morning in October, when she received a sudden call from school: her daughter had been detained by the police.
Elena, reeling, jumped in her car and raced to find her daughter. The detention of a child seemed like nonsense. “It was as if I’d entered some sort of alternate reality,” Elena recalled. “Like we’d gone mad, in our corner of the world.””

When we see GLSDB in action, we will know the UA offensive has begun.
“I think we’re all waiting too see when Ground Launched Small Diameter Bombs will arrive and whether Russia has adjusted the locations of its C2 and logistics hubs accordingly. If Ukraine receives enough of them, they could play an important role in the upcoming offensive.”
