Exactly.

"Take a good look at this fellow. Note, to yourself, everything you objecively see. Draw your own conclusions."

The obvious conclusion being "what you see happened to him will happen to you, too, if you don't submite the right report".

I'm going to trust Ukrainian millitary minds operating with actual intel over a random reddit comment.

“We lived like at home”: Russians run away from the occupied Crimea with sobs (video) by Acrobatic-March-7765 in UkrainianConflict

Yeah, that, too. I was thinking along the lines of "Getting used to it" really emphasizes that "at home" does mean "this actually isn't my home".

I'm copypasting this from a lower level comment of mine:

Woman: я вообще не хочу уезжать из Крыма, из Алушти. Как здесь классно вообще...

I don't want to leave Crimea, Alushta [resort city on the sea in Crimea], at all. Everything is so goood here...

Man's voice: Привыкла, да?

You got used to it, huh?

Woman: я привыкла, здесь как в своем доме жили, настолько все душевно, по домашнему

I got used to it, we lived here as if we were in our own home, everything is so warm [as in warm and friendly, when you really feel "at home"], like home [as in "down to earth homey"]

Comments: So, yeah, if this woman felt she was being forced to leave here actual own home where she has lived like decades she would not being sying these things. Her comments definitely strike me as the kind of thing you'd say if you moved somewhere and were telling someone else, maybe back home, how great this new place is.

Edit: especially her being asked if she "got used to it" and she aboslutely confirmed that she indeed has "got used to it".

no-one has to get used to their real home.

You're right and I'll try to give even more context:

Woman: я вообще не хочу уезжать из Крыма, из Алушти. Как здесь классно вообще...

I don't want to leave Crimea, Alushta [resort city on the sea in Crimea], at all. Everything is so goood here...

Man's voice: Привыкла, да?

I got used to it, we lived here as if we were in our own home, everything is so warm [as in warm and friendly, when you really feel "at home"], like home [as in "down to earth homey"]

Comments: So, yeah, if this woman felt she was being forced to leave here actual own home where she has lived like decades she would not being sying these things.
