A member of the Kerek people died in the Russian army. The Kereks are the smallest ethnic group in the Russian Federation. According to the 2010 All-Russian census, they numbered only four people.

  1. I think the side effect that this SOV has led to ethnic cleansing is not loss nor mourned by Putin.

  8. Look where the Kerek are coming from… can’t be farther to Ukraine than that. Closer from New York than Kiev.

  10. That’s at least worth another sack of onions for the family 🧅

  11. That is incredibly, incredibly sad. What a completely futile end.
    For once, Im actually finding the shit jokes on here offensive.
    Tragic.
    The only person to blame for that is Putin.

  14. One of the few occasions I actually *kind-of* feel bad. This person *likely* had no clue, no idea what was going on. Member of a 4 person total ethnic group I’m guessing doesn’t have a good educational upbringing nor does this person seem likely to have even the internet or cared for it. Of course, I could be wrong but just hits to the gut that an ethnic group, of four, lost 1 and is about to be no more. Probably a very small village in the middle of no-where and some Russian came and said shit this person had no idea true or false just what his fellow Russian said. But then I remember, fuck that, he went to and stayed in Ukraine. Toodles douchebag. Strange dichotomy.

  16. As interesting as this is there is one small overlooked detail here: never trust any data out of russia.

  18. In the 2021 census, only 23 people registered as ethnic Kereks in Russia. -from wikipedia
    Guess it sounds more dramatic when they say 4.

  19. So basically, they lost 25% of their population that was sent to war by Putin???
    Unbelievable… : (

  20. Putin would be happy if the remaining 3 go in the next meat assault.

  22. If 25% of an ethnicity is killed, doesn’t that count as a genocide?

  23. Now they add up to the trifle of three people 👤👤👤

  24. If he was 56 and childless, the lineage died with him already anyway.

  25. While it is wild to think of a 56-year old serving in naval infantry, and in a *combat role*, it’s important to remember that the 810th has gotten fucked up over and over in this war and has had to be reconstituted several times.

  26. Are these the same tribe whose native tougne is Ket? They are linguistically related to the Navajo tribe in the USA southwest if I remember my course work. EDIT: Yes, they are. Northern Siberia. Paleo-Eskimo. They are on the indigenousnetwork.org. 2024 about 1000 but very few native speakers. They conquered China at one point and gave us the word Khan.

  28. It’s a shame that your lasting memory of one of the last of an ethnic group will be a marauding scumbag being sent to hell.

  29. I believe in the West he would’ve been legally protected against serving because of him being one of the last of his people. I could be wrong, though. If not, it should be a thing. Are there any left of that group that could reproduce together, or are these four the last generation of ethnic group?

  30. *slaps screen with a ruler*….And that’s how you end a bloodline, children.

  32. So he single-handedly significantly improved the genetic makeup of his people.
