Bilozerka, a village in the Kherson region, was seized at the beginning of Russia's invasion. AdvertisementAdvertisementSome Ukrainians in the small settlement of Bilozerka, a village in the Kherson region, secretly worked as informants to aid the Ukrainian military during the Russian occupation last year. AdvertisementAdvertisementClosely familiar with the region, Kysil recruited "spotters" to help locate positions of Russian troops and equipment, according to the Times. Kysil told the Times how he and his spotters spoke in code and used hunting and barbecuing references to relay information. Ukrainian soldiers retook Bilozerka and Kherson after Russian forces retreated last November.

It seemed obvious to me that some townspeople would have collaborated out of fear or the need to survive. (I could not reach any of the accused collaborators from Bilozerka or Volodymyr Saldo.) A researcher with a nonprofit government watchdog group in Bilozerka, Zelinska investigated Kozlyonkova for misusing state funds before the war. As far as I could determine, none of the accused collaborators had. The administrators of the partisan forums clearly wanted to raise suspicion — to let accused collaborators know that they were being monitored, too.

The Paradox of Prosecuting Domestic Terrorism
  + stars: | 2023-02-08 | by ( James Verini | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +52 min
The preventive approach to domestic terrorism goes back even further than the 1990s and it begins with the basic police work and surveillance of the joint terrorism task forces. In fact, there is no section of the U.S. Criminal Code that criminalizes domestic terrorism as such. The absence of clear law around domestic terrorism, and the imperatives of prevention, mean that investigators and prosecutors who work domestic terrorism cases must focus on more common charges: weapons violations, illegal drug possession, burglary, aiding and abetting and so forth. But this was not enough to overrule the fear of domestic terrorism that was gripping the nation and that hung in the courtroom. It reflected the legal paradoxes of the case and domestic terrorism law in general or, maybe more accurately, the absence of it.
