Russian mother of dead soldier received Meat Processor as gift from local authorities

In March of last year, a similar story came out about the mother of a wounded Russian soldier who lost both of his arms and his eyesight receiving a free $50 Alexa-style smart speaker for his injuries.

This is the value of your sacrifice in Russia after losing nearly everything. The cruel irony of giving a mother a meat grinder as a gift after she just lost her son to the meat grinder of the front lines…

You can’t make this shit up, really. How is this real? And she is okay with taking a photo with it?

Gifting destitute people the tiniest of gifts is a surprisingly effective and cheap means to influence and gain control over a population. I have seen this done in the most cringe ways, even in institutionalized yearly rituals, from small money notes between 2.5 and 12.5 usd, pencils and notebooks, small bags of rice, large soy sauce and fish sauce bottles, tinned sardines, even disposable masks (that wasn’t officially from a government source but people were swarming the car because that’s how desperate they are) and it all becomes a huge media op to be disseminated across the country.

She also gets money, i mean russian money.

It does’nt process the meat. It grinds the meat.

Okay let’s start a list of more inappropriate gifts in this scenario. I’ll start : … I have nothing

If she doesn’t agree to the photo she’ll probably end up falling out of a window while she was cleaning it accidentally.

She is happy, I am happy now they all can process him and have a last meal. And a part of him for some time inside. All the love <3

How much more bizarre and surreal can Russia get ? It’s hard to process this level of accepted social dysfunction.

For those unaware this is likely a means of manipulating search results when looking up news about Russia, now when you look up “Russian meat grinder” you’ll be more likely to be met with an almost wholesome story about a grieving mother being gifted a meat processor for her son’s death instead of stories about Russian political propaganda being used to manipulate young people into joining the military (often involuntarily) and dying in a war they know nothing about

Then smile into the camera… wow.

In a normal country that would be considered cynical

Wow, such a well-thought-out gift…Looks like she loves it😐
