A video seemingly trying to attract people to live in Russia is truly bizarre

"I think the creepiest thing is that when the voiceover says "beautiful women" the image is of pre pubescent girls running through a field," wrote one person.

A video trying to recruit people to move to Russia has left people opened mouthed.

It is claimed that it has at least been promoted with some kind of state support but the actual creator is not known.

POW deaths

It comes as Russia has launched night-time attacks on several Ukrainian cities as officials in Kyiv and Moscow blamed each other for the deaths of dozens of prisoners of war in a separatist-controlled area of the country’s east.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross have a duty to react after shelling of a prison complex in Donetsk province killed the POWs.

“It was a deliberate Russian war crime, a deliberate mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war,” Mr Zelensky said in a video address late on Friday. “There should be a clear legal recognition of Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.”

Video

The video was shared by David Patrikarakos who wrote: “Wow. This is how #Russia is trying to attract people to go and live there. And no. It’s not satire.”

Fatima Tile tweeted: ‘State-controlled Telegram channels won’t stop bragging about this video. Not sure who is the creator. But wow, just watch it. If the Russians didn’t promote it, I’d think this was a satire. Why do they think this could attract foreigners to move to Russia? “Winter is coming.”’

She added:

The creepiest thing about it (apart from little girls) is that every single passage fits into Russian propaganda: starting from “Ukrainian Soviet Republic, to direct Putin quote of “no cancel culture” to “withstand 1,000 sanctions” and claiming 🇺🇦writer and a singer as Russians.

Satire

Is this satirical take closer to the truth for you?

The video contains images you might find distressing.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
