Krokodil is what the end of the world looks like





Krokodil is what the end of the world looks like.

Without civilization, krokodil’s existence wouldn’t be possible.


No chemists to synthesize the substances it is made from.

No drugstores and no money to buy it.

No ruined natural environment that cannot support living communities anymore.

No children with such a terrible life as to trade it away for a few minutes of normality.

No traumatized people to become so desensitized to other people’s suffering.

No police to ignore, tolerate and maintain drug and human trafficking while pretending to fight them.

No politicians to get richer and more powerful while causing the use of narcotics.


As long as civilization stands, there will be people willing to take any risks necessary to escape from it.


One day there will be enough people willing to take any risks necessary to bring down civilization, and krokodil will be nothing but a bad dream, a ghost from the past.


The title of this writing has been inspired by an essay called “Pornography is what the end of the world looks like” by Robert Jensen. It is something worth reading.
