Russia distributes instructions for wives of Russian occupiers

It was created by the Russian “Academy of Communication”, which supposedly deals with psychological education and also offers advanced training programs.

The instruction was called “What to do if my husband beats me?”.

Practical advice for military wives:

• Your military husband is going through a lot of stress. Talk to him, try to put yourself in his shoes.

• Don't go public with everything — social media posts can ruin your husband's career.

• If the beatings are not life-threatening, be patient, they will end soon.

• Try to mask the bruises with cosmetics.

• Avoid bright colors in clothes and makeup — this can provoke a man to new outbursts of aggression.

• Try to analyze your behavior. Why did your husband hit you? What did you provoke him to do?

• Ask your husband for forgiveness.
