“Benchmark idiocy”, “dangerous precedent”. Authorities and pro-war bloggers on the Jevic case
The governor of the Kaluga region, Vladislav Shapsha, as well as pro-war bloggers and journalists, defended the military doctor.
“The authorities are sometimes criticized for the fact that somewhere aid has not been provided as we would like. It is important to hear this advice, analyze and, if necessary, correct the situation. And all of Yuri Yevich’s experience is based on real practice, which he received in combat conditions. A civilian unfamiliar with these conditions may confuse healthy assessment with excessive criticism. writing governor in his telegram channel.
Shapsha noted that Yevich spoke to medical students at Kaluga State University “about patriotism and love for the fatherland”, and also led the collection of “several thousand” first-aid kits for participants in military operations in Ukraine.

“This is an example of enemies, cut off from reality, sitting deep in the back, who will literally tear the country apart with their idiocy. <...> It is not a mistake, it is a crime that should be the subject of a judicial expertise by specialized services”, writing Saponkov in his telegram channel.
