The “Christmas War” is real, since the Blogger Mil Pro-Kremlin published a video in the application of social courier Telegram on Friday that showed Santa being demolished through the Russian aerial defenses while flying over Moscow.
The video first published through the Pro-Kremlin Telegram Pul N3 channel, with the legend “Santa Claus flies on Russia for the last time. “
Start with scenes from a classic festive birthday party before cutting to show Santa Claus in the same old red costume, transporting several missiles decorated with the NATO logo in its sled. With the air of the gaming “We We We Wish You a Ferry Christmas” in the background, Santa Claus can also be heard in English: “Hello, Russian! 3 years with Russia.
While Santa baby in a can of Coca-Cola, the camera is approaching to show an air defense missile that stabilizes the sled, which makes it explode.
On a bizarre tour, the scene moves to a Russian army control room, where a soldier is noticed next to Ded Moroz, the mythical figure who is similar to St. Nicholas, Santa Claus, and, of course, Santa Claus.
Also known as Morozko or Grandpa Frost, Ded Moroz remains popular in East Slavic countries and a vital component of Russian culture. While the figure was prohibitive at the beginning of the Soviet era, Ded Moroz followed Soviet officials and used to downplay the accessory about consumerism and capitalism. In recent years, Ded Moroz has been promoted through Moscow as a component of its efforts to overthrow Russia’s ties with the West.
It is not surprising that Russia’s “Anti-Santa Claus” ordered that Saint Nick received a shot.
After having an effect on the missile, in Russian, Ded Moroz asked, “Is that all?”
“Yes, the target is destroyed,” the Russian soldier.
“Well. We don’t want anything in our skies. Happy New Year,” Moroz said as he hugged the soldier, who replied: “The same for you! Happy New Year for all. “
The video wasn’t produced by the Kremlin, yet, Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation suggested it still played into Moscow’s narrative that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine is one of NATO’s making.
“The Russian paranoia about the ‘NATO threat’ has reached new heights. Russian propagandists have published a ‘social video’ that represents Santa Claus through Russian aerial defenses near the Kremlin,” said CFORCD in a publication about a publication about X, social networks platform previously known as Twitter.
The moment may not be worse. Santa Claus’s video, which killed through a Russian air defense missile, released only two days after the Jet of Embraer of an Azerbaijan airlines crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas day, killing at least 38 of another 67 people to board. The plane had tried the earth twice in the city of Grozny, in Chechnya, however, due to the presence of Ukrainian drones and fog, diverted to Aktau airport through the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan.
American officials told CNN on Thursday that the first indications are that a Russian anti -aircraft formula would possibly shoot the passenger plane.
The videos and photographs that have been published in the media recommend that the Azerbaijan plane have suffered wounds caused by shell bursts, however, the cause of the holes has been confirmed. The Federal Air Transport Agency in Russia said the plane crashed after hitting the birds.
“Russia’s reaction overall has been interesting,” said Irina Tsukerman, a geopolitical analyst and president of Scarab Rising. “The parody is not a coincidence. It is a message to the West and Baku, indicating that a Santa Claus is considered a symbol of Western culture and there is no calendoye;
In other words, it is a war on Christmas, or at least Christmas as it is celebrated in the West.
“It is evident that Santa Claus’s shooting would not be taken well and positions Russia as a belligerent, unpleasant and humorous country,” Tsukerman added. “The symbol is shocking and negative. But what Russia now does not escape a meticulous examination of its movements is to double its competitive position, almost bold that the foreign network comes after any effort to enforce foreign standards. “
