    $5 bucks US for your son, see Russia is suffering from inflation. too. I do not feel any sadness for her, you know she is watching RT every night.

    That’s less than what I’ve spent on lunch today and nobody needed to die for that.

    That’s what happens when you live in a dictatorship, you’re expendable.

    Are they running out of money? wasn’t the pay much higher or they consider their old people stupid? 🤔

    Okay so now this is interesting. I’m wondering if there is a major shift in Russian society. Not too long ago the NYT reported that families of fallen soldiers were being paid 30-60K US as a way to support their new war economy and to subvert any sort of dissent. In a way this was helping to prop up their economy in the face of sanctions. Now if we are seeing this sort of behavior from the authorities, I’m wondering what’s really happening here.

    Russians are too blinded by hate to cosider who started the war and is sending their loved ones to their deaths. Russia could literally end the war and only benefit from it. Ukraine can not without losing everything. If their own blind hate and fanatical support of their dictator leads to the deaths of their loved ones, i dont know if i can say i feel sorry for them and that its not earned.

    Too generous, but pretty good for a worthless drunken son you never liked anyway.

    500 rubles = $5.46 USD. I’m sure she is especially happier now for her great leader. All the russian mothers losing their sons are told that their sons live are barely worth a hamburger.

    I’m not a mother. Yet.

    If I had a child and they were killed in war, and the government sent me a freaking postcard and $5.00 they would be better off sending nothing at all. I would be BEYOND PISSED OFF. Unbelievable.

    At the current (April 2024) price of potatoes in Moscow (41.8 RUB/kg), this Mother can now buy a bag of potatoes in exchange for the life of her son. 😔 If she’s a true Vatnik, she’s filling the hole in her heart with State propaganda on RT and imagining her son died some kind of a hero, instead of what actually happened. 🤷🏻‍♂️
