Russia's new propaganda is really, really bad and really, really cringey.

[DetlefK]

This Youtuber is a Russian who emigrated to Georgia a few years back. Since the mobilization, he has helped out as a go-between for Russians fleeing to Georgia.

The plot of the first propaganda-ad:

A beautiful russian teenage-girl wants to buy a new Smartphone, but her father cannot afford it.
She complains to her girl-friend how her father doesn't have any money because the factory is holding back his wage.
She complains to her girl-friend how he is a veteran (implied: Chechen War) who gave everything for his country, but he is always short for money.
Then the girl-friend says how her father is a veteran without money, too, and how he never got used to civilian life. But that changed when he volunteered! He just couldn't sit by while our boys are fighting (implied: Ukraine War) and fighting (in Ukraine) is actually not that bad! Her father writes and calls all the time!
The father of the first teenage-girl decides to join the russian army.
Next scene:
6 months later, the father returns unharmed from the special military operation with a hero's welcome in the city-square, with a cheering crowd waving russian flags!
Next scene, a text with uplifting orchestra-music:
The safety of the motherland!
The happiness of the family!
The future of our children!


Okay.........
sooooooooooooo...
If you are a veteran without money because the russian government isn't helping you, and if your boss is stealing your pay-check, then you should enlist in the russian army and fight in Ukraine, because you will return unharmed after 6 months of service with a hero's welcome.


EDIT:
Second ad: If you have a crappy job at the post-office and the russian government isn't paying you enough, then join the russian army and you will be able to afford a new car and an appartment in the city in no time.

Third ad: If you owe money to a criminal loan-shark (a major problem in rural Russia), then joining the russian army is your way out: According to the new russian law "337", enlisted russian soldiers get a "loan vacation". (Yeah, that will keep them from coming after your family while you are away.)






In other news, there are stories upon stories how mobilized russian soldiers are treated like expendable cannon-fodder.
Forced to hold absolutely lost defensive positions under ukrainian artillery-fire and getting beaten up if you dare to retreat.
Being robbed at gunpoint by Wagner-mercenaries, your supposed fellow comrades.

1. So if your Russian dad goes to fight the Ukrainians, you will get a smartphone.

And Dad will get a lot of attention as a hero.

3. Doubling down on toxic masculinity in one of those:

In the worst possible way: volunteering for military- MANLY!!!
