News from Mordor:
“In the city of Polyarnye Zori, Murmansk region, the leadership of the local branch of the United Russia party presented meat grinders to the mothers of the soldiers killed in the special operation zone in Ukraine. After that, a wave of negativity rose in social networks.
"Our duty and obligation is to surround the mothers of the heroes of the Fatherland with attention and support, not with words, but with deeds. We strive to be close to these strong women, share their experiences, and help them in a difficult moment," United Russia reported in their VKontakte group, under which negative comments were later collected.
"Gifts" were presented to the women by Executive Secretary Anna Makhunova together with a representative of the local Foundation "Defenders of the Fatherland" and Mayor Maxim Chengaev.
According to them, they presented meat grinders as part of the all-Russian campaign "Flowers to the Mothers of Heroes".
In the comments in VK, people wrote that it was a shame to give a meat grinder to the mother of a deceased serviceman.
Others noted the symbolism of such a gift. Someone didn't like that officials smiled in photos against the background of women who lost their sons.”
