This just in: To celebrate the inauguration, they gunned down some trees.

The shoe seen around the world. From Russia's May 9 parade on Red Square.

This tank stuck in the gates of the Rostov-on-Don circus is kind of a perfect meme for the absurd and crazy events going on in Russia right now. If you surround yourself with clowns, you have to expect that sooner or later you are going to wake up in the middle of the night and a clown with a knife will be standing over your bed. Clowns can't deny their nature.

A long read, but an essential read for any self-respecting Russophile. The final paragraph, a quote from a soldier who admits he is cannon fodder, sums it up well: “This is how we are raised... We grew up in our country understanding that it doesn’t matter how our country treats us. Maybe this is bad. Maybe this is good. Maybe there are things we do not like about our government.” But, he added, “when a situation like this arises, we get up and go.” https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/12/16/world/europe/russia-putin-war-failures-ukraine.html

#lifeimitatesart President Vladmir Putin, who began his war of aggression on the false pretense of "denazification" of Ukraine, said at a press appearance the other day "Верить никому нельзя, только мне". (You cannot believe anyone, only me.) Purposefully or not (how could it be not?), he was quoting the infamous Nazi Gestapo head Mueller, from the classic Soviet era film dear to all Chekists' hearts, 17 Moments of Spring: "These days you can not believe anybody. Even yourself. You can believe me, though." [Laughs evily.]
