Russian propaganda video for Christmas hits rock bottom

Russian television RT allegedly released a video of a “Christmas card” to Europeans. The focus is on the three years during which Christmas is celebrated differently.

The video shows three Christmases in one family in Europe. So RT shows Christmas 2021 in a family house in Europe with lots of lights, lights that are lit up on a Christmas tree.

Parents give their happy daughter a hamster for Christmas.

It then shows this year’s Christmas, with the family in semi-darkness and the father using the hamster wheel to power the Christmas lights.

But RT imagines Europe’s darkest future for Christmas 2023, with father and daughter sitting at the festive table in hats and coats, and mum serving a meal that doesn’t look tasty to say the least. It turns out that she cooked a hamster for Christmas.

At the end of the video, it says ‘Merry Anti-Russian Christmas’.

Twitter users were upset by this advert and did not choose their words to attack RT.

“God, who did we let into Serbia to do his propaganda?” wrote Milan Antonijevic, Executive Director of the Open Society Foundation.

Dragan Bjelogrlić’s daughter, Mia, reacted similarly.

“To come up with something so bizarre and despicable and dare to air it as a TV commercial before Christmas. This is pure evil and I believe that a large part of Russians are ashamed of it”, she said.

“A large number of Russians support this, but also Serbs”, read one comment.

An informal group of Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians and Serbs against the war also responded.

“The Russian nation is psychologically dangerously cracked. We have not had this mentality since Adolf Hitler and fascist Germany. Fascism has hit Russia hard, prepare for the worst”, reads another comment./Nova S/
