Cool crib, Sashka, but where did you hang the Supreme Leader’s portrait?
“Damn, Supreme Leader wasn’t lying. Compared to this, North Korea is truly the greatest country in the world”
It’s absolutely insane. They’re spoon fed all this propaganda how NK is the best country on Earth and everyone else lives like shit. Then they get deployed to live with Russian soldiers and are immediately proven right.
Kim Jong Un should allow people to leave, but only across the Russian border. They’ll come back and convince everyone they know to stay.
Comrade, do not worry. We have many delicious potato waiting for you, after Ukrainian drone removes your legs.
So generous of the Russian government to give wounded veterans a whole year’s wages!
$750.
Ah yes! But also, the government must get their portion, now you take home $475! Still very generous!
nothing to see here :)
Is that a “g” in supposed Cyrillic, or just a font I don’t recognise?
In cursive Cyrillic that’s a the equivalent of letter “d”/д
Ah, cursive. I’m bad enough at that in English, lol. Thanks.
Конечно, товарищ.
The poster says “с Победой!”, literally “With the Victory”. Most likely relates to the victory in WWII in some way, either awaiting it or congratulating on it.
It would be retrospective, since this is about now. That dovetails with their whole current national myth. Never mind that Ukraine was there fighting the Nazis too.
For anyone else reading, this is how all Russian toasts work AFAIK. “С Новым годом” for celebrating New Years is one I learned pretty early on.
Most likely, considering the context, yes. But there were posters made during WWII with the slogan “Ждем с победой” (“Waiting for [you to return bringing] victory” or something like that. Here’s one by Nina Nikolayevna Vatolina, for example, maybe there were more).
But it’s not like it really matters lol
TIL. One of my favourite things about Russian is the completely different way they use prepositions and pick important parts of sentences. Honestly it might make more sense than English - why does something happen “on” instead of “in” Monday, if Monday is all around? And articles are dumb, sentence is better without them.
