  1. Such snowflakes

    Kind of woke to be so upset about a future historical event

  2. And same folks are expressing childish glee whenever Solovyov contemplates on TV nuking european capitals. For all they know Kopečný might as well be expressing that the St. Basil cathedral is just lit. Architectonically. Plausible deniability aside, who is the sock manufacturer?

  3. Imagine having your leader threaten to nuke every neighbor near you and get pissed off because they are wearing socks lol.

  4. Such a great pair of socks it makes the Kremlin butt hurt, i want a pair of those socks.

  5. Genuinely curious, is st basils considered part of the kremlin?

  6. Where can I get a pair of these?

    And the matching t-shirt.

  7. It’s good to see this, given the ambiguity of some of the administrations in that region regarding Moscow…

  8. That fire started in kiddie diddlin dungeon for Pootin in the “woke” Rainbow Cathedral. That’s not the Kremlin

  9. If you’re causing “outrage” in the Kremlin, you’re doing something right.

    Plus, those socks are pretty damned cool.

  10. You know someone will have to make a whole wardrobe of Moscow burning attire. T-shirt, hoodie, pants, socks, underwear, hats and even dresses!

  11. That’s terribly insensitive.

    Where can I buy a pair?

  12. If u don’t want this you just need to not be a piece of human shit. Simple.

  13. Where can I buy these socks?

    Link?

    Let’s all wear them. I’ll buy 10 pairs, 5 to wear and 5 to give away to my Ukrainian friends.

  14. where can I buy these? Also, is anyone making Russian flag toilet paper?

  15. > “For four years, the [r]ussians have been bombarding Ukrainian cities with missiles and killing innocent people,” Kopečný commented to TN.cz. “That doesn’t bother them. But a pair of symbolic Ukrainian socks showing what it might look like if the same happened to their cities made them furious. I wish they had the same sensitivity toward the cities they’re destroying themselves.”

    Couldn’t have said it better myself.

  16. While their TV programs have been showing simulations of them nuking every western city forever…

  17. So Russia, or specifically the Kremlin is concerned about their public image….

    You know what would go a LONG way to improving your public image??

    Not invading neighboring countries; not targeting & killing civilians; not kidnapping foreign children; not forcing your culture on others who want nothing to do with it; not threatening to use nuclear weapons; improving human rights in your own country; etc …

    Truly, the best advertisement for…***Russkiy Mir*** (the Russian Way of Life) is setting an enviable example. If Russia cut out the grift, the theft by oligarchs, prioritized education and infrastructure, improved the living conditions in the small towns and villages, top of the line public transportation and similar endeavors, other countries might want to emulate this Pristine Example of a society that functions.

    Of course, these concepts are foreign to Russians and would never occur as long as the country maintains its Tsar: Boyar: Peasant arrangement that has been a hallmark of Russian life for centuries.

    *Perhaps if Russia crashes hard enough, a New Russia will emerge. It will take something that rattles Russians to their core. Maybe Russia could follow in Poland’s footsteps, going from a stagnant post socialism economy to a vibrant economic powerhouse. I wouldn’t bet on it, unfortunately.

  18. Berlin, London and Paris going up in nuclear blasts on TV = fine

    Socks = bad

  19. Constantly threatening to nuke everyone and then getting upset by a pair of socks!

  20. Classic playbook. Socks are so offending, this should be condemned by the UN Security Council. Meanwhile you bomb Ukraine after declaring a ceasefire.

  21. Not even looking twice at actual people dying but getting outraged over socks.

  22. *Offended by everything, ashamed of nothing. Thy name is Russian.*

    Make that oversized bucket of more than 140 million hypocritical crabs snivel some more.

    At a time like this may I also remind the non-Czechs and non-Slovaks out there of this [Czech gem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq4gltPR0ho) from when the “friendly” Russians led the charge to crush Prague Spring in 1968.

    Běž domů Ivane, (Run home, Ivan)

    čeká tě Nataša, (Natasha is waiting for you)

    běž domů Ivane, (Run home, Ivan)

    tady tě holky nemilujou. (The girls here don’t love you)

    Běž domů Ivane, (Run home, Ivan)

    čeká tě Nataša, (Natasha is waiting for you)

    běž domů Ivane a už se nevracej. (Run home Ivan and don’t ever come back)

    RECITATIVE (spoken section): Ivan byl původně moc hodnej hoch, bydlel v jedný malý vesnici, no jo ale potom ho poslali do úplně jiný vesnice někam daleko, a on tam chudák musel nechat koho? No Natašu!

    *Ivan was originally a decent lad, He lived in one small village, but then they sent him to another village somewhere far away, and whom did the poor guy need to leave? Why [it was] Natasha!*

    Běž domů Ivane, (Run home, Ivan)

    čeká tě Nataša, (Natasha is waiting for you)

    běž domů Ivane, (Run home, Ivan)

    tady tě holky nemilujou. (The girls here don’t love you)

    Běž domů Ivane, (Run home, Ivan)

    čeká tě Nataša, (Natasha is waiting for you)

    běž domů Ivane a už se nevracej. (Run home Ivan and don’t ever come back)

    RECITATIVE: No tak Ivane, co je s tebou, děláš jako že neslyšíš, přece nenecháš Natašu aby si ti vzala Voloďu!

    *So then Ivan, what is it with you? You pretend that you don’t hear**^(1)* *After all you don’t let Natasha marry Volodya!*

    Běž domů Ivane, (Run home, Ivan)

    čeká tě Nataša, (Natasha is waiting for you)

    běž domů Ivane a už se nevracej. (Run home, Ivan and don’t ever come back)

    NIKDY! (EVER!^(2))

    1 The literal translation is “You’re acting like you can’t hear”

    2 The literal translation is “Never!” since Czech uses the double negative unlike English

  23. For a government that openly “jokes” about murder and genocide, foreign satire is strangely too subtly nuanced a concept for their gentle hearts.

    Mearsheimer and the realists truly are wrong. The Kremlin’s constructed “vision” of itself is a brittle shell masking doubt and weakness.

    One ultimately and pitifully challenged by a pair of socks.
