I'm not sure if it's wealth alone or just monopolies on power and influence achieved one way or another. The dark ages of many european nations were branded by churches' influence over monarchs' own decisions. They had at some point and in some places more real estate than anyone else, and usually supported wars for gains, but they gained their own power by monopolizing the irrational in commoners and printing god's approval or forgiveness as they claimed they can do so. I'm not exactly well versed in the topic, but as a commoner myself I see the current concept of 'wealth' complicated by math, stonks and such as some sort of the same religious bullshit, but somehow more excusable in our age and time.

Actual source on their social network: https://m.vk.com/wall-192159337_1072

Small town, local mayor and representatives from the ruling party's office. In the announcement they don't append any meaning to it and don't even write what they gifted in the OP. It's obviously not getting coverage from government-controlled media and mostly discussed on the internet and posted in banned ones.

Two takes that are completely possible and can even be true at the same time:

  1. It's a fuck up of people who couldn't connect the dots beforehand, like office clerks looking for cheaper or more useful kitchen tech (because women), probably without the whole context or a will to give a fuck. It had some probability with that amount of cases and therefore it finally occured.

  2. It's an example of an extremely cynical humor that is close to cancerous soviet\russian prison and law enforcement culture, and that's a usual occurence in the top admin, so it can trickle down to local offices too. What went over the head of the journos, is that there's a derogatory eqivalent to the meatgrinder that's popular with most war-themed TG channels - to call the battlefront a 'vagina-cutter', and it makes it look way more intentional as a gift to women on women's day.

I suspect a combination of two. The first one is the simpliest, most probable reason why it started. But I can't tell if someone signing it into work didn't got a whole dose of the second one as well. In the fight of ignorance and malice, I bet on ignorance, but I'm pretty unconfortable with how I often pick between these two nowadays.

I'm not that person, but I laughed at reading this as a suggestion that Trump would try to fire Biden.

The US of A has a deep rooted fascism influence from it's own sources, that's right, but the current wave of such sentiments and politics is vulgarly shown as russian influence by russians themselves because they don't have favorites, they want chaos, and doubling Trump as both a MAGA patriot and a traitor is what can cause more divide and fragility than if they've chosen just one side to push.

That was actual before Trump's innauguration, but at that time I see it irrelevant because a mere influence dwarfs in comparison to orange fuck's real actions to make the US the most unstable actor with the most ammount of military power, and its' randomness makes me even more afraid for whatever future it would bring to other countries like mine.

Conspiracy enthusiasts should be pushed aside so real fiction writers can take a hold.

I heard the news, but I doubt that's what really happening.
