How, as a Russian, do you watch the blowing up of a fictional children’s joy bringer as a good thing?
Not trying to justify this but neither the article or anyone here is picking up on the detail that Russians have their “own” Santa, that’s the guy dressed in blue.
So they are shooting down the western Santa and their kids still get their presents from their own Santa.
Idiotic video still but it is not like they kill Christmas worldwide. Just for everyone else, as in typical fashion.
“Father frost” is actually the “santa” version of many post-soviet countries, including Ukraine.
Given the recent Azerbaijan airlines disaster this really is cartoon level evil.
Why do they need DRM for a fucking news article
It’s not compiled into Firefox ever. A binary blob is downloaded after the first time you activate DRM. So just don’t activate it and it’ll never be present on your machine.
Is Russia trying to be the bad guy? I’ve been told that everyone’s the hero of Their Own story, but this is making me seriously doubt that. These stupid fucks equate NATO with Santa and then depicted themselves killing him. This is literally the most bad guy coded thing I’ve ever heard of my entire life. This is like the most blatantly evil children’s cartoon villain thing they could have possibly done.
“Santa” in the form you know it is a typical American holiday character. It made it’s way into Russia as well, but it is now used as a symbol of the west like it used to be. What for you may seem as good is something they may see as evil. They have their own “Santa”, as seen in the video, dressed more in the style of the Russian orthodox church.
Too bad though Russia doesn’t know the difference between Santa in a sled and an Azerbaijani airliner.
“Santa represents peace, and brings happiness to children. We could not tolerate that”
