> Russia’s military glory

Now there's a phrase that doesn't sit very well of late.

Certainly not when its legs are bent any which way because of getting a cheap drone dropped on it.

Oh yea, this ribbon again. Pretty controversial topic among russians. Goverment tried to force it as a symbol of ww2 win, but it has too many similarities with ribbons used in Imperial Russia and some war medals. Also, people tied ribbons to their pets, sneakers, bottles of vodka, and cars, and it made the ribbons look tatterered and dirty. It quickly lost popularity, like everything forced by the government, and now is only sometimes used in 9th may celebrations in Russia.

I have two of these ribbons. I tied them together and attached a stuffed mouse to the end. My cat plays with it and has ripped them to shreds.

Come get me.

That's why you want to write something like St. Aiden or St. Rex beneath it and then desecrate it, that way you get off on a technicality.
