'Gleiwitz' in Bryansk region

A situation is happening in Russia that is very similar to Gleiwitz. This story is so full of staging that I wonder who it is intended for

The posting was made through one of the main Z-channels. The emphasis is deliberately on children because it is an emotional component. Thoughts about why a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group would enter a village or kill children in Russia are unlikely to occur to Russians whose brains have been raped by Kremlin propaganda. It is too complicated for Russians.

How could a group of 40 people have crossed the border? Because this is too complicated for them. Primitive idiots think only at the level of the simplest reactions. Few Russians will even think about the fact that it was the Wagner soldiers who escaped and, out of desperation, could have tried to seize transport or take local residents hostage.

“Thoughts about why a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group would enter a village or kill children in Russia are unlikely to occur to Russians whose brains have been raped by Kremlin propaganda. It is too complicated for Russians.”

But all of this resembles a Gleiwitz-style staging. The attack on the radio station in Gleiwitz, also commonly known as the Gleiwitz provocation or Operation Konserve (canned food in English – ed.), was a staged attack by the SS on the German radio station in the city of Gleiwitz on August 31, 1939, to create a pretext for a German attack on Poland.

I would not be surprised if the Russians even bring the bodies of fallen Ukrainian soldiers from Ukraine. Because they are recreating a new 'Gleiwitz' according to the old scenarios. Although they can use the escape of the Wagner mercenaries to call them a Ukrainian sabotage group. 

Today, no one in Russia needs to justify the attack on Ukraine. But the Kremlin needs to consolidate society around the war. And it still doesn't have it. There is the usual 'approval' of the actions of the authorities in Russia. The war has not become a 'domestic' war for Russians, which is essential for the Kremlin to continue long-term military operations. It seems that this is what the FSB is doing today.
