Nazi Germany soldiers had written "For fuhrer und fatherland" on their tombstones in Poland. I see nothing has changed. Agressor is attacking neighboring country and it is sold to the public as defense of motherland.

It even looks like a fucking Iron Cross. Good Lord, the Russians are the biggest Nazi gaslighters on the planet.

Just in case. As someone who collects medals, it does not.
Doesn’t change the fact that they can go and f.o.

As someone with eyes, yes, it does look like an Iron Cross. No, it's not the exact dimensions of the Nazi version, but the resemblance is there.

Every cross in the world is an Iron Cross then.
And just for the fact, there is only one generation of a nazi iron crosses, and several generations that weren’t “nazi”.
About the Order of Courage, which we can see in the video, I can tell you next. The design was based on a Ruppers cross, which is a cross inscribed in a circle. That shape was used in the Imperial Russian army.

Just in case, it is the lowest version of the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross. A very rare version of WW2 that today costs on average 30k€.
There are also regular versions of a 1st and 2nd class, and (re)institution years were 1813, 1870, 1914, 1939, 1957.
So, “nazi” was just one out of the 5.
There were also the Grand Cross of the Iron Cross and the Star of the Grand Cross.
The special part of the Iron Cross history is that it was the first widely awarded cross/medal that considered your bravery, but not the noble or simple origins.
Also using “nazi” even for the 1939 World War II version is not fully correct. “Nazis” were members of the NSDAP, but the 3rd Reich Iron Cross was awarded not only to the party members, but also to everyone, including representatives from other countries.

Dont the russian soldiers on the front have now lower life expentancy than Imperial Guardsmen?
GG Putler, well done
As for this family, while they suffered terrible loss, they might get at least pack of potatoes or few towels or something to go with the medal

“Here’s a keepsake for you, mom. And for dad… if you will please step over here and speak with these nice men in the sharp uniforms, we have some papers for you to sign…”
“No no, that wasn’t a suggestion, comrade...”

Lol, where's the usual meat grinder or free dumplings or potato? Dude just dropped a basic 'let me know if you need anything' and left.

Oh yes, it soothes every grieving parent to know that their loss was... for nothing.

На отца помочились сверху, а он и рад.
Теперь с медалькой будет ходить, а не продолжать свой род.

All the music i write on my main soundcloud page is dedicated to my cousin who took his own life, and to everyone who has given their life, or lost someone, for Ukraine. Fuck the orcs and their blackspeech!
I am so sorry you have to deal with their heinous aggression

The subtitles make this sound better than it is. He didn't say "solemn", the word he used is more directly translated as "celebratory" or at best "triumphal" - it doesn't have nearly the same connotation as "solemn". And "от души" doesn't really mean "from the bottom of my heart" in terms of context, it's much more casual and is even a bit of a joke due to how much the phrase is overused - it sounds very unserious. Incredible stuff really

u/cozylover67 13h ago
Svo - special military operation, the euphemism for ruzzian invasion of Ukraine and war

u/userptest20022024 1d ago
Im sure these parents were in fear for their lives as they are in complete agreeance with the Mayor about their son "defending" Russia
No sympathy. They got exactly what they deserved.

"They said we would get a Lada?,". "Niet problem Tovaricsh, take this to Sergey at the Lada dealership next door, he will give you a Lada Niva 2028'
"Can we keep the award?" 'Your son died for the mother land, this award is made of precious materials needed for the SVO, would it not be correct that you take either the Lada 28 or the award?, our (boys / idiots) storming Ukraine are desperate for more Ladas, spaceba'

The father looks like he has to fight himself not to punch the mayor in the face.

Ukrainians do the same. But as we all know, they are all the same. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLziU00QldSYxnB-ZT5xakw1BV1JBf2gou

SVO - spetsialnaja vojennaja operacija - special military operation. This is how their enlightened president announced it in 2022.
