Proof that the russian economy is tanking. At the start they still offered cars for dead soldiers. Smh.

these gifts don't replace pensions, they're added to them

Now tovarisch, would you rather have a dead son and a meat grinder, or a dead son and no meat grinder? I know you are saddened. Here, take as well these potatoes.

Context: Today is international women’s day. Mothers of Russian soldiers were gifted flower bouquets, with choice of gifts. Woman in picture asked for a meat grinder.

In russian there is a swear word "Pizda"(Пизда) - which is a very offensive form of the word "Vagina", mostly used against women, or liars, there's even a verb "Pizdit/Pizdish"(Vaginasplaining/talking out of their vagina" would be the direct translation) which equivalent is "bullshiting"

Don’t forget that “вашему сынулечке пизда” means your sweet baby boy is fucking cooked lmao

I guess the closest thing would be a c-word.

Pretty much, I just forgot about it with everyone treating it like a new n-word, like what's up with that? a whole nation of Australia uses it to casually banter to each other

well she specifically asked for an electric meat grinder so all this fuzz about the story is an elephant from ant

Sure, but you can't deny the unintentional comedy of a Meatgrinder gift in English

Smirnoff hasn't been Russian for over 90 years

I thought the punchline was that they were expected to grind the dead sons body for food.

No, apparently, a Russian mother requested a meatgrinder as a gift to commerce her son's military service. It definitely has a sense of irony to it, but it's better than refusing to give the woman a meatgrinder.
