The Liberation
Citizens of Chernarus relaxing and having a good time
Dateline - 28 July, 2015
The International Times recently interviewed several Chernarussian citizens now living throughout the CDF liberated parts of the country. The freed people of Chernarus have begun using the phrase "The Liberation" to describe the great freedom given to them by the Chernarus Defence Force.
Sergei Grigorev, a lumberer by trade, has been living in Pustoska his entire life. Pustoska was liberated by the Chernerus Defense Force back in early July, after the RPLA's blitzkrieg early in the campaign. Sergei welcomed the CDF troops with open arms, having lost a family member throughout the RPLA's brutal campaign. Sergei said the following about 'The Liberation'. "I am happy living my simple life again, without worrying daily about the safety of my family. The Chernarus Defense Force has been a great source of good for our country, and I hope that we can learn from them when we have our government restored."

Ardik Ivanov was living in Podagorsk before the conflict there escalated. When asked about why he moved to Chernarus he said, "I saw that tensions were rising, so I packed up my stuff and moved to Chernarus. I never expected such horrible conflict to follow me here." Ardik lives in Vybor as a deer hunter and cattle farmer, eating and selling his delicious trade. "Its a good life now since 'The Liberation' came. The woods are full of deer, and the Chernarus Defense Force could not be nicer. Though, from time to time I'll catch a quick glimpse of some greenish camo, or a helmet. I am getting old though and my eyes are not what they used to be!" He laughed and joked with us for a while before retiring to bed. He seems content with the way things are, and it is becoming self evident that things are beginning to look up for Chernarus and its citizens.

While Chernarus still sees its fair share of fighting, locals seem to be happy with the Chernarus Defence Force's progress and at a time when all eyes on their work, they seem to be setting a great example for military bodies all over the world.
