September 1984 - February 1985
The distant, alas, my youth.
The world title match is being played between the champion Anatoly Karpov, the darling of the social system, the spoiled child of the Soviet Union, and Garry Kasparov (12 years younger and apparently, like 21 years more alive), the thorn in the side of power, the stepchild of USSR Chess Federation.
The match is up to 6 wins and an unlimited number of games.
Karpov leads 5:0.
Kasparov chooses the tactic of exhaustion. Draw after draw, draw after draw.
Karpov is tired. The result becomes 5:1, after 15 games - 5:2, and immediately 5:3.
Karpov is groggy, left without strength, visibly shaken, obviously unfocused.
The Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU intervened and the match was stopped. Thus the Regime saves its pet.

Today, BahmUt is like this match.
In the role of Karpov are the rashists. And of Kasparov - the Ukrainians.
The rashists gave thousands of victims, a huge amount of equipment. No result. Street after street, house after house are passing into Ukrainian hands.
Rashists are groggy, left without strength, visibly shaken, obviously unfocused.

But there is no Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU to save them.
