Hondo ndeyekare sevanhu, asi zvinoshamisa, hutsinye hwayo hwagara hwakarongwa nemutemo. MuMiddle Ages kwakanga kusina kurwa pamazuva matsvene uye, munguva yedu, magungano anorambidza, pakati pezvimwe zvinhu, zvombo zvemakemikari uye kupa kodzero kuvasungwa; neimwe nzira, hondo inoronga utsinye. Asi hondo ndechimwe chinhu uye hutsinye humwe, izvo zvakatungamirira kupfungwa yemhosva yehondo, kudarika kusina hunhu uye kusiri kwepamutemo kwehutsinye. Kudarika uku, kubva muhondo kuenda kuhutsotsi hwehondo, kwakava pachena muna 1916, nokupondwa kwevaArmenia nevaTurks, chisimba chisina kujairika icho shoko idzva raifanira kusikirwa: kuparadza rudzi. Nekupondwa kwemarudzi, vadzivisi havaurawi nekuti vanorwa, asi nekuda kwevari: maArmenian, vaJudha, vaTutsi muRwanda, maBosnia muSerbia. Uye nhasi, pamberi pemeso edu, maUkraine anotambudzwa uye anourayiwa nemaRussia nekuda kwekuti ivo maUkraine. Zvipupuriro zvatinazvo hazvina kujeka: makuva akajairika, vanhuwo zvavo vakasungwa maoko uye vakapondwa, makamuri ekutambudza. Ngativei zvakajeka: hapana chinofanotungamira musoja weRussia a priori, nekuti iye muRussia, kuuraya vanhu vekuUkraine muropa rinotonhora uye muzhinji. Mhosva dzeUkraine idzi hadzina kukwana muhurongwa hwehondo hwekare, uye hadzifambisi mberi chikonzero cheRussia. Uye hapana chero chinhu mubudiriro yeRussia, muchimiro cheRussia, chinofanotungamira munhu kubva kuhondo kuenda kuhutsinye. Saizvozvowo, hapana chinhu mukubudirira kweGermany chaifananidzira kuti maGermany aizopedzisira aparadza vaJudha. Muzviitiko zvose izvi, barbarism haisi yega, haibvi mumweya yevanhu; inorongwa, yakarongwa uye inoverengwa nemirairo yayo. Muzviitiko zvese zvataurwa pamusoro apa, mumamiriro akasiyana seaya eGermany, Rwanda, Armenia kana Ukraine, tinowana mapoinzi akafanana, mechanics ebarbarism isina hukama kune imwe kana imwe tsika. Aya makanika akanyatsoratidzwa uye akaongororwa panguva yekupokana nekuuraya rudzi, kunyanya panguva yekutongwa kwaAdolf Eichmann kuJerusarema, muna 1961. Hurukuro uhwu hunoramba huchibva panheyo mbiri: kudzoreredzwa kwevakakuvadzwa uye kurongeka kwevanouraya. Vaurayi vanonyengetedzwa nevakuru vavo kuti havasi. Eichmann akazivisa kuti akanga ari mumanikidzi, kuti aiteerera mirairo, uye kuti, semukuru mukuru wehurumende, zvingave zvisingafungiki kusateerera mirairo. Naizvozvo, mhosva yake yakanga isiri iyo, asi chiitiko chakajairika chakaitwa nemurandawo zvake, izvo zvakaita kuti muzivi Hannah Arendt atange pfungwa inopokana yekurambidza uipi. Asi, kana tikatevera Hannah Arendt, hapana angambova nemhosva, kunze kwaAdolf Hitler kana Slobodan Milosevic naVladimir Putin. Kune rumwe rutivi, matare akaita seaya kuNuremberg, The Hague neArusha haana kutevera Arendt: zvino, mumutemo, vaurayi vane mhosva huru, nokuti ibasa ravo kuramba kuita mirairo yebarbaric. Uhu hutongi huchashanda rimwe zuva muUkraine: iyo bureaucratization yekuuraya yakakosha kune barbarism, asi haisi chikonzero. Humwe hwaro hwehutsinye uhwu ndehwekubvisa hunhu hwevakabatwa. Vakuru vanobuda munzira yavo kuramba hunhu hweumwe, vachinyepedzera kuti maArmenians, maJuda, maTutsis, maUkraine haasisiri vanhu vakakwana pachavo. Vanoratidzika sevanhu, asi havasi ivo; Vatungamiri vechiHutu vakafananidza vaTutsi nemapete uye vaNazi vakafananidza vaJudha nemhuka dzinotyisa dzinosveta ropa. Kubva panguva iyo imwe ikorokoni kana vampire, kuparadzwa hakuchisiri mhosva, asi basa rehutano hwevanhu. Kutaura kwekucheneswa kwemadzinza, kwakafarirwa nehutsinye hweYugoslavia, kunoratidza kusazvibata uku: kuuraya haisi mhosva chete, asi zviri pamutemo, zvinenge zvakakodzera. Mupfungwa iyi, zvinofanirwa kunzwa kuti sei Putin achibata maUkraine seNeo-Nazis: havasi varume, asi zvikara izvo zvinofanirwa kubviswa. Nokudaro anotanga nzira dzehutsinye. Ini ndichapokana kuti kuurayiwa kwevanhu muUkraine kunongova mhedzisiro yekurwa inopera zvakaipa kune anorova uye kuti maRussia anongori hutsinye nekuda kwekushaya midzi, kutya, doro uye kuraswa kwevakuru vavo. Zvimwe zvinhu izvi zvinoita kuti pave nehutsinye, asi havazvitsananguri. Kufanana kwemhosva dzeUkraine - kurwadziswa, makuva akawanda, kuurayiwa kwevanhu vari mungetani - inoratidza kuti nzira yepakutanga uye yakashata yakaedzwa; zviitiko zvimwechetezvo zvekutyisa zvinodzokororwa munzvimbo dzakafanana munzvimbo dzakasiyana zvinoratidza kuti hausi mubvunzo wekuvhunduka, asi wemakanika ebarbarism iri kushanda. Mhedzisiro inodhirowewa yakajeka: maUkraine nevadyidzani vavo vekuMadokero vangadai vakataurirana nemaRussia anotungamira, asi havagone kuzviita nemabharanzi eRussia.
