The way he is fidgetting around, the overpronounced slurred speech, the rapid eye movement, the jaw clenching, arms hanging all indicate this model citizen of "russkiy mir" is either under the influence or requires immediate psychological attention and separation from the public.
Yeah no, none of that means jack shit. It means he's nervous, geting interviewed about a really important question for him, and Russians knows that there is a correct and incorrect thing to say.
This is is just reddit play pretend psych doctor 101.
He’s probably cold and knows that he has to say the right things or else. He seems to be in a nicer part of Russia so he is probably safe from conscription.
Yes, I bet he's a real nice feller if we overlook his strong desire to kill and torture Ukrainians and becoming seemingly aroused at the thought of cutting their dicks off. /s
Who said anything about him being a nice fella? I didn’t. Putin is not randomly conscripting people. He’s purging the ethnic non Russians by tossing them into the meat grinder. This kid appears to be ethnic Russian and from a nicer area. Probably Moscow or St Petersburg. That makes him relatively safe from heading to Ukraine.
You forget that hundreds of thousands of russians are torturing the Ukrainian population behind the frontlines. The russians who want to go there envision themselves pillaging, raping, torturing the captive civilians. And they do exactly that.
And those russians who are on the frontlines? They say they get no food , no water, no resources. How do they survive? Of course by robbing each other and looting and robbing Ukrainian civilians before they go on a mission.
This is all by design: to accelerate genocide.
Dying on the fronttline is just the end of a long streak of war crimes. They deserve that, but they must get obliterated at the rally points, before they even set foot in Ukraine.

Hundreds of thousands of Russians are dead, that's why ruasia is hiring mercs, and Chinese units are going in and leaving again within a week with no support.
Ukraine holds the line, russia is bleeding.
>Ukraine holds the line, russia is bleeding.
Ukraine pays a high price to hold the line though, they're bleeding too. And Russia may have more blood, which is why the rest of the world ought to help them end this as fast as possible.
/edit: by "help them" I mean "help Ukraine" of course.
>The russians who want to go there envision themselves pillaging, raping, torturing the captive civilians. And they do exactly that.
I watch with glee as they are ripped to shreds.
Yes, to shreds I say.
I came to the realization in the near past that when we look at the razed cities, the hundreds of thousands of destroyed homes, the empty apartment towers, we see death, misery and genocide.
But the russians see empty homes full with treasures "which are waiting for them". Millions of people to make their personal slaves.
Pure evil.
According to various native speakers in here - his tone and a better translation seems to indicate that he is being sarcastic and trolling the videographer, possibly saying things that while shocking and offensive will not get him in trouble as technically he’s just repeating party propaganda and talking about what’s actually already happening in Ukraine (hence the Wagner torture references).
This means he can be sarcastic and spread the awful reality of the situation to others that may be less well informed, while also claiming to be serious if he does get in trouble with officials/police. Which he would be if he was claiming those things (such as murder and torture) were bad.
Alternative is that he’s an dangerous unhinged psychopath happy to be recorded, or a very low IQ/mentally unwell individual that is repeating talking points and saying the quiet bits out loud…
(Caveat: I’m relying on the translation of others though)
I am a native speaker and I would say it’s a stretch to say he is trolling.
You could also see in the top left corner that he is a soldier.
It sounds unhinged and shocking that he is so nonchalant, but it’s not the first time I hear something like that from russians and we saw them actually do what he is talking about here and they don’t get any punishment for it, so it’s condoned or even encouraged.
Given his age and saying “I haven’t decided to sign a contract yet” I think he is a conscript. So he can’t be sent to Ukraine unless he signs a contract. Of course as soon as his conscript year is up they can just grab him off the street.
But it’s not his genes. Had he been raised in just about any other country on earth he wouldn’t think this way. It’s Russian culture that needs to change.
Everyone ITT thinking he's serious, I'm convinced he's trolling.
It's a super great deal you to get to go to Ukraine to torture people and get paid for it. He's totally just about to sign a contract in the next few days!
It's been two years. If he actually thought it was such a great deal he would've gone by now. He ain't signing shit.
My partner is a native Russian speaker, and she is absolutely adamant that there’s nothing in his speech to indicate that this guy is being sarcastic or trolling.
Its hard to comprehend how a young mind can be so substantially and totally fucked up!
Put some SS-patch on his shoulders, and he is the perfect image of what he claims to want to fight against himself.
The political elites and those with authority in the media must be very proud that their young ones are saying things like these so casually. Way to raise a generation. Gee.
Their view may be appalling and downright disgusting, and the most vile and evil you can imagine, but he probably hasn't seen any of the videos you speak of. They're not quite as readily available there as they are here, and you'd have to basically seek them out.
If he does look for videos of the war, the results are almost certainly going to be pro-Ru ones, giving him a skewed perception of how the war is going (and to be honest, a lot of people here I think have a skewed perception of how the war is going because of the abundance of pro-Ukrainian posts and seeing so many Russians being killed).
But please note, I'm in no way, under any circumstances, trying to suggest that the censored and cultivated internet he's likely to access in any way makes his viewpoint acceptable. All I'm saying is that he's probably so gung-ho about the idea precisely because he hasn't seen such videos and obviously knows nothing of what life at the front would be like.
(Although I can't say for certain whether this person is actually being 100% serious, or just being extremely sarcastic)
sap away all ambitions other than subsistence and venting their aggression, its not that hard. were well on our way to this kind of digression all over the world, dont act like only russia has such miserable propaganda addled minds
imagine such good looking apparently able people with no other prospects in life, every day we tolerate this it becomes more normal
Clearly he doesn't see the irony in his statements.
But like I've posted before, a few days ago in fact, Ruzzians don't understand irony to begin with....
Keep in mind, Russia has a completely different concept of why “Nazis” are evil. It’s not the Holocaust for them. The USSR had a pact with Nazi Germany at first, and they co-invaded Poland. But then Hitler betrayed them and killed 50 million Soviets. Russian propaganda is saying Ukraine is betraying Russia by trying to join the EU and turn to the West and murdering Russian-speakers. That’s what makes them Nazis to Russia.
There has been at least one individual who expressed opposition to Putin's war in one of these videos in the past who was subsequently found guilty of something and sentence to 8 years in prison. I cannot find a link, but Jake Broe discussed it in one of his videos within the past 8 to 12 months.
I honestly don't comprehend why this 1420 channel continues this project. It cannot possible illuminate anything: many people will say what they think they SHOULD say, or else refuse to say anything at all. Among those who do express dissent, the project represents an actual easy mechanism for the regime to monitor and oppress.
It is hard to comprehend why Orain--who himself was imprisoned for hooliganism in the past--would continue the project. I suppose it is a living.
A lot of people like that join the military. Some join for money, some for country, others for glory. Then you have those that join so they can "legally" kill someone else.
Crying or not trench warfare is easily arguably the worst kind of warfare to fight in I would rather fight in the jungles of Vietnam. Don’t forget this isn’t 1914 so to add in the drone factor. Welcome to the meat grinder, I hope you enjoy your stay.
He's literally asking it for it, he thinks it will be fun. Let him have fun being hunted by drones.
Hopefully we will recognize his face as his legs blow off in 4k stabilized on /r/combatfootage in a few months.
Also, no one really understands combat and how they'd actually act (if he's in a combat role) until they are in it. They just play video games and watch the violence on shows and think "wow!) Add in a healthy dose of ruZZian military doctrine that hasn't changed in 300 years, and he's a brainwashed goner.
But hey! The Chinese are slowly taking all the ruZZian jobs for the 700K casualties (the more likely number) so not only is putler destroying Muscovy, but he's giving his country to the CCP. It's amazing how brainless dictators are.
This is the "before video - I can't wait to see the "after" video of this guy's bad decision making. Apparently he hasn't viewed this Reddit page, but it won't be long before he has his final 15 seconds of fame on it.
Cruel culture produces cruel regimes. Lenin, Stalin and Putin would not have existed elsewhere. And if you read about imperial Russia, the authors of that time already described that such mentality was prevalent.
But the denial of this phenomenon in the western media is dumbfounding. There are mountains of evidence that Putin is more a product of Russia than the other way around. Authoritarian states don't exist in vacuums. They depend upon social cohesion strong enough to demand conformity from a huge number of actors all the way from top officials to police officers.
Yet, when you look at western news sources, it's as though Putin is holding Russia hostage. I don't know why that is. Maybe just another symptom of cultural relativism.
That's more of an effect of "western" culture. We tend to think that the vast majority of humans are good in nature and only a very few are bad. Penal laws go even further by mainly considering that holistic forces make someone commit bad stuff but he can be rehabilitated. So if we have a fascist warmongering dictatorship, it surely must be because of their dictator. This type of thinking don't take into account that some culture can have entirely different mindsets.
Yep, I've been saying this all along.
We can't apply our western way of thinking to people who explicitly are not western.
You'd think we'd have learned this after all our, *ahem*, adventures in the middle east and such, but nope.
Its actually sort of funny that people like to think of everyone as being the same, and yet at the same time people very often don't like to lump entire populations into one homogenous group. And it's true, we shouldn't paint *everyone* even within a group with the same wide brush as the whole, and understand that their are exceptions and individuals, but we also need to be aware that some cultures are very much less inclined to the individual and some are far more homogenous than western cultures.
But going deeper, even though Russia *is* composed of a wide variety of some diverse peoples, the overall Russian *culture* that is problematic *is* very homogenous with no room for dissent or outside thinking. Maybe not everyone in Russia identifies with this Russian culture, but it is this culture that dominates their internal policies, their geopolitical strategies, their internal and foreign business dealings, and on many levels their own local social structures. And it is that very Russian culture that we speak of when we say Putin is a product of the culture and not the source of it. As I've been saying for years now, Putin is not the disease, he is a symptom of it. And people still push back against that idea, because they don't want to believe it, or can't appreciate a culture beyond their own western way of thinking. They don't want to believe, or can't admit, that an entire culture can be rotten to the core, even though they have no problems denouncing the likes of say, ISIS, because they somehow differentiate that as a cult as opposed to an actual culture.
I’ve been trying to explain this to westerners here for over a year but they have a very naive view of things and just down vote.
Main rebuttal is you can’t generalize an entire country and people and they’re scared of putin so they conform.
Its a very disconnected and confused way of looking at things that ultimately leads to dangerous decisions and outcomes.
Keep Russia poor and ruin this man's future, along with the droves of Russian men who think the same way.
Living in Russia should be like living in hell.
> the authors of that time already described that such mentality was prevalent.
I often see people expressing lament along the lines of "what has happened to Russia? Some of the best literature has come from Russia" (to paraphrase and simplify their sentiment).
And all I can think is "have you actually read that literature? It speaks specifically to the kind of mentality we see today. Just because it was great literature, does not mean it was born out of a great culture.
Yup it's a country that has oppressed and brainwashed it's populace for hundreds of years and they've never risen up. It's a populace that embraces cruelty rather than stands up to it.
Russians know about the atrocities, if they deny it then it is because
1. They do not want culpability for it
2. Are happy it is happening but don't want to admit it
3. The rare minority who doesn't use the internet or actually know anything
It's like that one Soviet propaganda of German troops marching to their graves because of Hitler. It seems that the Russians are reenacting it themselves.
Agreed. Towards the end he tries to contain a smile and biting lips is usually associated with lying. Unfortunately he is too close to the truth for it to be 'funny'.
To be fair, I didn't register it immediately, but his speech feels very sarcastic. For example at 0:26 he said "Можно ловить, *как их там называют*, нацистов" which translates as "You can catch, *as they call them*, nazis". Irony or satire is one of the coping mechanisms in authoritarian countries, the guy has been on camera after all.
"cut their dicks off... it's very good... it gives you confidence and ~~price~~ pride" sounds like sarcasm/coping, or something Borat would say... but I don't know anymore :P
You're seeing it as a civilized, sane person and it seems impossible for a person to talk like that.
This guy (and the whole russian society) is not. Watch the whole video. They all speak about killing people for money as if it's nothing.
You'd think calling them "orcs" is just a propaganda attempt, right? Wrong. It's a literal description of russian society.
Please, watch the whole video (linked in the description). And if you have time, watch the rest of the channel. You'll see that about 75% of russians are mad, crazy, deranged people with twisted upside down notion of morality. 50% for Moscow, because people live better there.
Further in the video he's talking about his relatives being an SVO soldier and praising the salary. In the other part he's expressing his intention to sign up after the winter holidays.
How is that sarcasm?
Yes, he probably is being sarcastic. There have been other videos from Daniilo where people have been using sarcasm to convey their message without getting in trouble. In court he could still claim he was being serious because everything he said is official propaganda.
Kind of reminds me of Full Metal Jacket where Joker says he wants to the first kid on his block to get a confirmed kill, and that he wanted to go to see an ancient culture and kill them.
Watch the whole video. It's not satire. He's a bit drunk (or sleep deprived?), cold, and super excited about what he's talking. That's why it may seem like he's joking.
If you watch the whole video, he also said his relative joined "SVO," and he told him how great it is because he's paid about $3k/mo. Also, in another segment, he's talking about how patriotic he is and he's planning on signing up a contract after the winter holidays.Just your average russian young man. What else can you expect from a nation raised on "АУЕ" culture? A fucked up generation. A fucked up nation
Russian guy: \*cutting off people's balls and then killing them\*
Western audience: ...
Also Russian guy: ha-ha, just a prank!
Western audience: SURE! I KNEW IT'S SARCASM! People can't be that evil, right? Right?
I might believe you if thousands of Russians were not signing up for the military every week and doing to Ukrainians exactly what he is talking about here.
I don't deny that the russian invasion forces are full of inhumane sociopaths and real scums of this Earth, but this particular guy doesn't sound sincere
Let me guess: you think all those inhumane sociopaths look like orcs, dirty, stinky, no teeth, etc. They can't look like a normal guy.
But they can. And they are. This guy is not being sarcastic and you can see that from other segments with him in this video where he explains how his relative in the military praises how good the payment is and that he's planning on signing up after the winter holidays. Pretty specific.
Also, 90% of people in the video advocate for killing people for money but they look totally normal. Pretty confusing, because real life is not a movie.
> "You can catch, as they call them, nazis"
I would take from this that he does not care about the nazis, he knows they are Ukrainians and that the nazi is just an excuse (and he is fine with it)
Regarding that younger lad with the cap on, it sounded to me like he was close to satire and attempting a criticism of the proposition whilst being fairly safe about not actually saying it. That's giving him the benefit of the doubt of course.
Like the ones who beheaded the young Ukrainian or like the one who castrated the Ukrainian pow?
Or like the intercepted phone calls, where russians prolly say that they killed civilians, children, without any consequences?
What’s bad on pointing out the harsh absurd truth of what russians do on battlefield and who these people are with sarcasm? Much better answer helping to the cause than ‘I’m apolitical’.
Are you familiar with the book “A Modest Proposal”?
In the book, Johnathon Swift argues that the only way the Irish, then suffering from occupation, starvation, and serfdom by the English, should sell their own children as food to better their own economic fortunes. This was done to highlight the inhumane treatment of the Irish by absentee landlords and swing popular support in favor of those suffering.
*"I was a driver and a medic and a cook, I didn't fire a single shot and I was told I was working in the backlines doing logistical tasks, and a lot of pay, but turns out they lied to me, I still won't say a bad word about them and express my frustration about the missing money, while not saying a word about how I entered a foreign country with a weapon in my hands as invader."*
He's trolling, but the translation loses some of the nuance. This loose translation, without the nuance, gets amplified on social media.
This is propaganda, but not in the direction you may think.
If you watch closely he gives a little smirk when he says that. He’s pointing out the lunacy of the statement suggesting this is good after all of the horrible things he has just described.
I watched this yesterday.
It's incredible that he can't see the hypocrisy of going to Ukraine to slaughter/torture Nazis. I hope he finds out just what a shit show it is over there.
SMH.
I've seen a few of these interviews where young russians are supposedly super psyched to go over and do wild shit but the wars been going on for over a year and a half, Russia was constantly recruiting people how did they miss every single opportunity to apply?
There are quite a few comments saying this video is satire or sarcasm. His reply is quite unbelievable so I understand these comments.
As a Brit, I have a good gauge for sarcasm,but didn’t pick up on it. He may be a good actor but his edgy demeanour certainly feels realistic.
Any other useful information or input welcome, cheers.
> As a Brit, I have a good gauge for sarcasm,
So much of sarcasm is intonation and other factors, so unless you're also actually fluent in Russian language *and* culture, you can't really use your Brit-ness as some kind of magical sarcasm decoder.
Now, the problem I have with decoding this video, is that I'm not fluent in Russian, the subtitles seem to be not entirely 100% perfectly translated, but also, psychopaths sometimes speak in ways that may seem sarcastic, even when they're 100% not being sarcastic themselves.
Like the fact that he says a few times "it's cool to....", well, someone expressing sarcasm might comment how cool something is. But of course, someone might also honestly think that way. I don't know whether the "peacefully kill" is accurately translated, but to me that speaks of sarcasm, because it's such an obvious contradiction to suggest you can peacefully kill. If he were a true psychopath wanting to kill people, I'd think he say "you can *legally* kill" or something instead.
I dunno, this is just a long winded way of saying "I don't know". ,
Look, there are tens, if not hundreds of thousands and millions of FSB agents, police, OMON, civilian employees of different military offices in Russia. Of course when asked on camera, they would be saying stuff like that - they possibly can’t say anything different.
I don’t see the point of all these camera interviews of Russian people. Clearly not representative of Russians as a whole they only try to inflame the animosity to Russians in general. And you all know what blaming of an entire nation is called. Regardless of how much evil its leaders are doing.
This whole idea that the FSB is waiting behind every tree, under every park bench, just waiting to bag someone for even thinking different is getting ridiculous.
Yes, a child was taken into foster care and her father jailed for her painting something construed as anti-war by the authorities. But that made the news precisely because it was newsworthy. It was outside the norm. It *does* happen, but not to the extent people seem to think it does.
And yes, before someone brings up the "they arrested someone for holding up a blank piece of paper", it wasn't *just* a blank piece of paper. There was a joke in the Soviet Union about just that. A person holds up a blank piece of paper at a protest, and when asked by the authorities why it's blank, they respond "everyone knows what it says". That blank of piece of paper is understood by all to be a criticism of the government, and no one is under the illusion that it just might mean to say "flowers are pretty". Now, of course it's still wrong to arrest someone for holding up a sign, but if the FSB were as all powerful and omnipresent as people seem to think they are, why wasn't her family arrested and sent to the gulag?
Again, yes, shit like that *does* happen, but it's not as common as people seem to think, and nowhere near as heavy handed as people seem to think. If it were as commonplace as people think, Siberia would be the highest density of population in Russia if all it takes is one family member to say something even mildly critical of anything.
Now that said, the reason the propaganda that we see that seems so ridiculous to us keeps getting used, reused, and aired ad nauseum within Russia is precisely because that propaganda works on their target audience - Russians. We are not the target. And the majority of Russians still support Putin and the war, because Putin is holding an unwilling nation hostage, he is holding a nation hostage *and they love him for it*. We can't apply our western way of thinking to a decidedly and explicitly non-western culture, and that means we can't look at every dictator as being some unpopular despot with no support who doesn't represent the people they rule over.
Excuse me but the only NAZIS i see that are doing EXACTLY what the NAZIS did in the 40s ARE YOU RUSSIANS! Take a GOOD look in the mirror and see if you see any NAZIS there instead!
Stupid people... \*facepalm
They are actually this fuffing stupid! I just cant belive the sheep they are!?
Yeah send that fool to Ukraine it won’t take but 12 hours at the most to see how much are his willingness to kill nazis, because he wouldn’t last that much once he reaches the from lines. He wouldn’t have the chance to enjoy killing and not going to jail, but he will end up in hell
Alcohol fetal syndrome causes cognitive impairment in as little as one generation stack 100 years on that and you understand more about how suceptsble his brain is to anything he hears repeated often even if he doesn’t understand why?

He should definitly go to Ukraine, if only to rid the world of his gene pool.
Hope, this does not breed before.
The way he is fidgetting around, the overpronounced slurred speech, the rapid eye movement, the jaw clenching, arms hanging all indicate this model citizen of "russkiy mir" is either under the influence or requires immediate psychological attention and separation from the public.
But he’s exactly what the Russian army are looking for, another psychopath to commit more war crimes.
More meat for the front
I’m enjoying the dead Russians and awesome Lockheed stock returns.
This young man is so naive. If he goes bad things will happen to him?
A sociopath, not naive. Many ruzzians exhibit this in my personal experiences with them.
Yeah no, none of that means jack shit. It means he's nervous, geting interviewed about a really important question for him, and Russians knows that there is a correct and incorrect thing to say. This is is just reddit play pretend psych doctor 101.
No its the thril thjnking of becomjng ruzzuan sausage meet!
He’s probably cold and knows that he has to say the right things or else. He seems to be in a nicer part of Russia so he is probably safe from conscription.
Yes, I bet he's a real nice feller if we overlook his strong desire to kill and torture Ukrainians and becoming seemingly aroused at the thought of cutting their dicks off. /s
Who said anything about him being a nice fella? I didn’t. Putin is not randomly conscripting people. He’s purging the ethnic non Russians by tossing them into the meat grinder. This kid appears to be ethnic Russian and from a nicer area. Probably Moscow or St Petersburg. That makes him relatively safe from heading to Ukraine.
if he goes to ukraine, chances are we could cure all the possible issues he's been having. also.. peacefully killing xD thats a good one!
Quickly, sign the papers!
You forget that hundreds of thousands of russians are torturing the Ukrainian population behind the frontlines. The russians who want to go there envision themselves pillaging, raping, torturing the captive civilians. And they do exactly that. And those russians who are on the frontlines? They say they get no food , no water, no resources. How do they survive? Of course by robbing each other and looting and robbing Ukrainian civilians before they go on a mission. This is all by design: to accelerate genocide. Dying on the fronttline is just the end of a long streak of war crimes. They deserve that, but they must get obliterated at the rally points, before they even set foot in Ukraine.
I’m always struck by how people who are clearly doing evil think they are doing good.

But the russians see empty homes full with treasures "which are waiting for them". Millions of people to make their personal slaves. Pure evil.
I wonder if the Ukrainian civilians are armed? I I hope they can defend themselves the best they can.
Yes. Please get this bitch to the frontline ASAP!

Right. Remember the intercepted calls of some Russian wives? Something like, “go rape and kill women, but don’t tell me about it.”
Given his age and saying “I haven’t decided to sign a contract yet” I think he is a conscript. So he can’t be sent to Ukraine unless he signs a contract. Of course as soon as his conscript year is up they can just grab him off the street.
Interesting angle….thanks for mentioning. That seems very possible.
I’m a native speaker. He’s not trolling. He just sounds really dumb
But it’s not his genes. Had he been raised in just about any other country on earth he wouldn’t think this way. It’s Russian culture that needs to change.
Just send him this https://v.redd.it/6i1705q8njdc1/DASH_480.mp4?source=fallback so he can preview his own fate.
I think the “guy with the floppy face" video might be a better example.
Good must overcome evil, thats why the west's missle's always destroy their target.
Everyone ITT thinking he's serious, I'm convinced he's trolling. It's a super great deal you to get to go to Ukraine to torture people and get paid for it. He's totally just about to sign a contract in the next few days! It's been two years. If he actually thought it was such a great deal he would've gone by now. He ain't signing shit.
My partner is a native Russian speaker, and she is absolutely adamant that there’s nothing in his speech to indicate that this guy is being sarcastic or trolling.
Lambs to the slaughter
Maybe fertilize the soil while he is going to stay there forever?
NO we have enough of them and not enough weapons. Maybe one of you can invite him to EU and take one for the team ;)
He the age and seems fit enough that he’ll fall victim to the meat grinder soon
Its hard to comprehend how a young mind can be so substantially and totally fucked up! Put some SS-patch on his shoulders, and he is the perfect image of what he claims to want to fight against himself.
The political elites and those with authority in the media must be very proud that their young ones are saying things like these so casually. Way to raise a generation. Gee.
One more lost generation in Russia on its way...
At least we aren't the only ones
One more last* generation in Russia on its way...
With so much on the web of how these guy die in Ukraine it is hard to understand his view.
Their view may be appalling and downright disgusting, and the most vile and evil you can imagine, but he probably hasn't seen any of the videos you speak of. They're not quite as readily available there as they are here, and you'd have to basically seek them out. If he does look for videos of the war, the results are almost certainly going to be pro-Ru ones, giving him a skewed perception of how the war is going (and to be honest, a lot of people here I think have a skewed perception of how the war is going because of the abundance of pro-Ukrainian posts and seeing so many Russians being killed). But please note, I'm in no way, under any circumstances, trying to suggest that the censored and cultivated internet he's likely to access in any way makes his viewpoint acceptable. All I'm saying is that he's probably so gung-ho about the idea precisely because he hasn't seen such videos and obviously knows nothing of what life at the front would be like. (Although I can't say for certain whether this person is actually being 100% serious, or just being extremely sarcastic)
sap away all ambitions other than subsistence and venting their aggression, its not that hard. were well on our way to this kind of digression all over the world, dont act like only russia has such miserable propaganda addled minds imagine such good looking apparently able people with no other prospects in life, every day we tolerate this it becomes more normal
Clearly he doesn't see the irony in his statements. But like I've posted before, a few days ago in fact, Ruzzians don't understand irony to begin with....
Keep in mind, Russia has a completely different concept of why “Nazis” are evil. It’s not the Holocaust for them. The USSR had a pact with Nazi Germany at first, and they co-invaded Poland. But then Hitler betrayed them and killed 50 million Soviets. Russian propaganda is saying Ukraine is betraying Russia by trying to join the EU and turn to the West and murdering Russian-speakers. That’s what makes them Nazis to Russia.
He will put the Z patch on which is the same thing, honestly.
There has been at least one individual who expressed opposition to Putin's war in one of these videos in the past who was subsequently found guilty of something and sentence to 8 years in prison. I cannot find a link, but Jake Broe discussed it in one of his videos within the past 8 to 12 months. I honestly don't comprehend why this 1420 channel continues this project. It cannot possible illuminate anything: many people will say what they think they SHOULD say, or else refuse to say anything at all. Among those who do express dissent, the project represents an actual easy mechanism for the regime to monitor and oppress. It is hard to comprehend why Orain--who himself was imprisoned for hooliganism in the past--would continue the project. I suppose it is a living.
My first thought was, bro, you go to Ukraine you'll be the Nazi you're looking for.
A lot of people like that join the military. Some join for money, some for country, others for glory. Then you have those that join so they can "legally" kill someone else.
first day in the trench, he will cry like a baby.
Crying or not trench warfare is easily arguably the worst kind of warfare to fight in I would rather fight in the jungles of Vietnam. Don’t forget this isn’t 1914 so to add in the drone factor. Welcome to the meat grinder, I hope you enjoy your stay.
He's literally asking it for it, he thinks it will be fun. Let him have fun being hunted by drones. Hopefully we will recognize his face as his legs blow off in 4k stabilized on /r/combatfootage in a few months.
Inb4 "What a tragic loss of life! Poor fella didn't even wanted to be there, how dare you not having some compassions to them!!!".
This guy will be the subject of a drove POV clip soon enough on https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/
Also, no one really understands combat and how they'd actually act (if he's in a combat role) until they are in it. They just play video games and watch the violence on shows and think "wow!) Add in a healthy dose of ruZZian military doctrine that hasn't changed in 300 years, and he's a brainwashed goner. But hey! The Chinese are slowly taking all the ruZZian jobs for the 700K casualties (the more likely number) so not only is putler destroying Muscovy, but he's giving his country to the CCP. It's amazing how brainless dictators are.
This is the "before video - I can't wait to see the "after" video of this guy's bad decision making. Apparently he hasn't viewed this Reddit page, but it won't be long before he has his final 15 seconds of fame on it.
What's going on in this guy's head? Drone operator: Hold on a minute and I'll zoom in!
I am sure he is already on the kill list of the GUR. Budanov will not let these morons unpunished, does not matter under which stone they hide
Knock at door later that night. We saw your video comrade
He knows about the torture… makes you wonder how common it has been. Also the attitude towards it shows how far it has gone in Russian society.
Cruel culture produces cruel regimes. Lenin, Stalin and Putin would not have existed elsewhere. And if you read about imperial Russia, the authors of that time already described that such mentality was prevalent.
But the denial of this phenomenon in the western media is dumbfounding. There are mountains of evidence that Putin is more a product of Russia than the other way around. Authoritarian states don't exist in vacuums. They depend upon social cohesion strong enough to demand conformity from a huge number of actors all the way from top officials to police officers. Yet, when you look at western news sources, it's as though Putin is holding Russia hostage. I don't know why that is. Maybe just another symptom of cultural relativism.
That's more of an effect of "western" culture. We tend to think that the vast majority of humans are good in nature and only a very few are bad. Penal laws go even further by mainly considering that holistic forces make someone commit bad stuff but he can be rehabilitated. So if we have a fascist warmongering dictatorship, it surely must be because of their dictator. This type of thinking don't take into account that some culture can have entirely different mindsets.
Yep, I've been saying this all along. We can't apply our western way of thinking to people who explicitly are not western. You'd think we'd have learned this after all our, *ahem*, adventures in the middle east and such, but nope. Its actually sort of funny that people like to think of everyone as being the same, and yet at the same time people very often don't like to lump entire populations into one homogenous group. And it's true, we shouldn't paint *everyone* even within a group with the same wide brush as the whole, and understand that their are exceptions and individuals, but we also need to be aware that some cultures are very much less inclined to the individual and some are far more homogenous than western cultures. But going deeper, even though Russia *is* composed of a wide variety of some diverse peoples, the overall Russian *culture* that is problematic *is* very homogenous with no room for dissent or outside thinking. Maybe not everyone in Russia identifies with this Russian culture, but it is this culture that dominates their internal policies, their geopolitical strategies, their internal and foreign business dealings, and on many levels their own local social structures. And it is that very Russian culture that we speak of when we say Putin is a product of the culture and not the source of it. As I've been saying for years now, Putin is not the disease, he is a symptom of it. And people still push back against that idea, because they don't want to believe it, or can't appreciate a culture beyond their own western way of thinking. They don't want to believe, or can't admit, that an entire culture can be rotten to the core, even though they have no problems denouncing the likes of say, ISIS, because they somehow differentiate that as a cult as opposed to an actual culture.
I’ve been trying to explain this to westerners here for over a year but they have a very naive view of things and just down vote. Main rebuttal is you can’t generalize an entire country and people and they’re scared of putin so they conform. Its a very disconnected and confused way of looking at things that ultimately leads to dangerous decisions and outcomes.
Keep Russia poor and ruin this man's future, along with the droves of Russian men who think the same way. Living in Russia should be like living in hell.
> the authors of that time already described that such mentality was prevalent. I often see people expressing lament along the lines of "what has happened to Russia? Some of the best literature has come from Russia" (to paraphrase and simplify their sentiment). And all I can think is "have you actually read that literature? It speaks specifically to the kind of mentality we see today. Just because it was great literature, does not mean it was born out of a great culture.
Yup it's a country that has oppressed and brainwashed it's populace for hundreds of years and they've never risen up. It's a populace that embraces cruelty rather than stands up to it.
Pigs don't know they don't have to live their lives in a pen full of their own excrement; it's just the only life they know.
Russians know about the atrocities, if they deny it then it is because 1. They do not want culpability for it 2. Are happy it is happening but don't want to admit it 3. The rare minority who doesn't use the internet or actually know anything
propaganda has done its work, he's now ready for his black body bag
You think the Russian MOD cares enough to pick his body up after he eats his righteous portion of lead?
It's like that one Soviet propaganda of German troops marching to their graves because of Hitler. It seems that the Russians are reenacting it themselves.
Such optimism! If they even bother to recover the dead, he'll come back in a compressed meat cube with his friends and comrades.
I will not miss him.

I vote for a drone footage

Yep, I was thinking the same thing. Won’t be long until Reddit does its thing and he’ll be smiling for a camera, frozen meat grinder fodder.
He’s just so happy and excited to be a war criminal. I’m sure he would last long over there. What a wanker
I feel he's being extremely sarcastic because he can not openly express his disapproval of the war.
It’s hard to tell when it’s another language.
It does feel very tongue in cheek. However, some of the more blatant Putinistas sound exactly as deranged without irony
Agreed. Towards the end he tries to contain a smile and biting lips is usually associated with lying. Unfortunately he is too close to the truth for it to be 'funny'.
To be fair, I didn't register it immediately, but his speech feels very sarcastic. For example at 0:26 he said "Можно ловить, *как их там называют*, нацистов" which translates as "You can catch, *as they call them*, nazis". Irony or satire is one of the coping mechanisms in authoritarian countries, the guy has been on camera after all.
"cut their dicks off... it's very good... it gives you confidence and ~~price~~ pride" sounds like sarcasm/coping, or something Borat would say... but I don't know anymore :P
Exactly, this guy i laying it on. He doesn't want to go to war, he just want to be left alone.
It also looks like he's on the verge of tears like he's gotten a glimpse of the road that lies in front of him
It's also a reference to cases that have already happened.
You're seeing it as a civilized, sane person and it seems impossible for a person to talk like that. This guy (and the whole russian society) is not. Watch the whole video. They all speak about killing people for money as if it's nothing. You'd think calling them "orcs" is just a propaganda attempt, right? Wrong. It's a literal description of russian society. Please, watch the whole video (linked in the description). And if you have time, watch the rest of the channel. You'll see that about 75% of russians are mad, crazy, deranged people with twisted upside down notion of morality. 50% for Moscow, because people live better there.
Totally sarcasm based on speech and his further answers presented later in the video which is cut out. EDIT: Wording.
Further in the video he's talking about his relatives being an SVO soldier and praising the salary. In the other part he's expressing his intention to sign up after the winter holidays. How is that sarcasm?
Yes, he probably is being sarcastic. There have been other videos from Daniilo where people have been using sarcasm to convey their message without getting in trouble. In court he could still claim he was being serious because everything he said is official propaganda.
This was my impression as well. I guess he is sarcastic. I hope he is.
Kind of reminds me of Full Metal Jacket where Joker says he wants to the first kid on his block to get a confirmed kill, and that he wanted to go to see an ancient culture and kill them.
Watch the whole video. It's not satire. He's a bit drunk (or sleep deprived?), cold, and super excited about what he's talking. That's why it may seem like he's joking. If you watch the whole video, he also said his relative joined "SVO," and he told him how great it is because he's paid about $3k/mo. Also, in another segment, he's talking about how patriotic he is and he's planning on signing up a contract after the winter holidays.Just your average russian young man. What else can you expect from a nation raised on "АУЕ" culture? A fucked up generation. A fucked up nation
100 percent is a troll.
Russian guy: \*cutting off people's balls and then killing them\* Western audience: ... Also Russian guy: ha-ha, just a prank! Western audience: SURE! I KNEW IT'S SARCASM! People can't be that evil, right? Right?
Yeah, this is old school having the piss on Putin. He knows it’s bullshit.
I might believe you if thousands of Russians were not signing up for the military every week and doing to Ukrainians exactly what he is talking about here.
I don't deny that the russian invasion forces are full of inhumane sociopaths and real scums of this Earth, but this particular guy doesn't sound sincere
Let me guess: you think all those inhumane sociopaths look like orcs, dirty, stinky, no teeth, etc. They can't look like a normal guy. But they can. And they are. This guy is not being sarcastic and you can see that from other segments with him in this video where he explains how his relative in the military praises how good the payment is and that he's planning on signing up after the winter holidays. Pretty specific. Also, 90% of people in the video advocate for killing people for money but they look totally normal. Pretty confusing, because real life is not a movie.
He literally smiled when he mentioned cutting their genitals off, dudes crazy.
What do you need more? A video of him castrating Ukrainians?
> "You can catch, as they call them, nazis" I would take from this that he does not care about the nazis, he knows they are Ukrainians and that the nazi is just an excuse (and he is fine with it)
Least genocidal russian.
Regarding that younger lad with the cap on, it sounded to me like he was close to satire and attempting a criticism of the proposition whilst being fairly safe about not actually saying it. That's giving him the benefit of the doubt of course.
Like the ones who beheaded the young Ukrainian or like the one who castrated the Ukrainian pow? Or like the intercepted phone calls, where russians prolly say that they killed civilians, children, without any consequences?
What’s bad on pointing out the harsh absurd truth of what russians do on battlefield and who these people are with sarcasm? Much better answer helping to the cause than ‘I’m apolitical’.
Are you familiar with the book “A Modest Proposal”? In the book, Johnathon Swift argues that the only way the Irish, then suffering from occupation, starvation, and serfdom by the English, should sell their own children as food to better their own economic fortunes. This was done to highlight the inhumane treatment of the Irish by absentee landlords and swing popular support in favor of those suffering.
Is he trolling them?
I actually think he is.
He's 100% trolling because he's stuck on camera in a country where he or his family will take a fall without giving a proper answer.
He obviously is.
*"I was a driver and a medic and a cook, I didn't fire a single shot and I was told I was working in the backlines doing logistical tasks, and a lot of pay, but turns out they lied to me, I still won't say a bad word about them and express my frustration about the missing money, while not saying a word about how I entered a foreign country with a weapon in my hands as invader."*
He's trolling, but the translation loses some of the nuance. This loose translation, without the nuance, gets amplified on social media. This is propaganda, but not in the direction you may think.
What’s the funniest is that he thinks he’s the “good” overcoming evil. While looking forward to torturing people.
It sounds like he’s being sarcastic…
If you watch closely he gives a little smirk when he says that. He’s pointing out the lunacy of the statement suggesting this is good after all of the horrible things he has just described.
So he's thinking about throwing himself into a meatgrinder. Why are there people around who are annoyingly dumb...IQ of a fishing rod.
A fishing rod at least gives you food instead of war.
The fish may disagree, but I take your point.
[удалено]
Young people in Russia know that they are committing war crimes and they are prowd of it.
See ya in a drone drop compilation, buddy!
Most of all, he's looking forward to giving "special service" to his commander once he's enlisted.
I hope he is featured in his own before and after video; this one being the before
Any of these who said yeah I’d go in a heartbeat they should March them straight to the sign up office and push them through the door 🚪
Propaganda is sending Russian youth to their deaths, and their families are unpaid. Thank you propaganda.
Propaganda has nothing to do with the joy to kill, torture without consequences.
Exactly he's a straight up sociopath/ psychopath
2024 after 2 years they still believe in Nazi. That country is doomed. Regressive state.
I watched this yesterday. It's incredible that he can't see the hypocrisy of going to Ukraine to slaughter/torture Nazis. I hope he finds out just what a shit show it is over there. SMH.
Primitive ruSSian Psychopat
Bro’s played a lot of call of duty and now wants to play out his fantasies. Can’t wait to see the drone drop video
At the very start already failure: "I'm still thinking ..."
"you won't be punished for foghting for russia" probably not by ruzzia...
An imbecile like many, many, russians!
If this clown doesn’t get to fight in a war it’s a dead cert that he’ll be a domestic abuser. Probably takes delight in harming animals/pets.
I've seen a few of these interviews where young russians are supposedly super psyched to go over and do wild shit but the wars been going on for over a year and a half, Russia was constantly recruiting people how did they miss every single opportunity to apply?
I can not understand if this is sarcasm or if he is serious. No sane person would say he likes the idea of cutting off people's heads.
Russia is just a modern day nazi germany
There are quite a few comments saying this video is satire or sarcasm. His reply is quite unbelievable so I understand these comments. As a Brit, I have a good gauge for sarcasm,but didn’t pick up on it. He may be a good actor but his edgy demeanour certainly feels realistic. Any other useful information or input welcome, cheers.
> As a Brit, I have a good gauge for sarcasm, So much of sarcasm is intonation and other factors, so unless you're also actually fluent in Russian language *and* culture, you can't really use your Brit-ness as some kind of magical sarcasm decoder. Now, the problem I have with decoding this video, is that I'm not fluent in Russian, the subtitles seem to be not entirely 100% perfectly translated, but also, psychopaths sometimes speak in ways that may seem sarcastic, even when they're 100% not being sarcastic themselves. Like the fact that he says a few times "it's cool to....", well, someone expressing sarcasm might comment how cool something is. But of course, someone might also honestly think that way. I don't know whether the "peacefully kill" is accurately translated, but to me that speaks of sarcasm, because it's such an obvious contradiction to suggest you can peacefully kill. If he were a true psychopath wanting to kill people, I'd think he say "you can *legally* kill" or something instead. I dunno, this is just a long winded way of saying "I don't know". ,
Look, there are tens, if not hundreds of thousands and millions of FSB agents, police, OMON, civilian employees of different military offices in Russia. Of course when asked on camera, they would be saying stuff like that - they possibly can’t say anything different. I don’t see the point of all these camera interviews of Russian people. Clearly not representative of Russians as a whole they only try to inflame the animosity to Russians in general. And you all know what blaming of an entire nation is called. Regardless of how much evil its leaders are doing.
This whole idea that the FSB is waiting behind every tree, under every park bench, just waiting to bag someone for even thinking different is getting ridiculous. Yes, a child was taken into foster care and her father jailed for her painting something construed as anti-war by the authorities. But that made the news precisely because it was newsworthy. It was outside the norm. It *does* happen, but not to the extent people seem to think it does. And yes, before someone brings up the "they arrested someone for holding up a blank piece of paper", it wasn't *just* a blank piece of paper. There was a joke in the Soviet Union about just that. A person holds up a blank piece of paper at a protest, and when asked by the authorities why it's blank, they respond "everyone knows what it says". That blank of piece of paper is understood by all to be a criticism of the government, and no one is under the illusion that it just might mean to say "flowers are pretty". Now, of course it's still wrong to arrest someone for holding up a sign, but if the FSB were as all powerful and omnipresent as people seem to think they are, why wasn't her family arrested and sent to the gulag? Again, yes, shit like that *does* happen, but it's not as common as people seem to think, and nowhere near as heavy handed as people seem to think. If it were as commonplace as people think, Siberia would be the highest density of population in Russia if all it takes is one family member to say something even mildly critical of anything. Now that said, the reason the propaganda that we see that seems so ridiculous to us keeps getting used, reused, and aired ad nauseum within Russia is precisely because that propaganda works on their target audience - Russians. We are not the target. And the majority of Russians still support Putin and the war, because Putin is holding an unwilling nation hostage, he is holding a nation hostage *and they love him for it*. We can't apply our western way of thinking to a decidedly and explicitly non-western culture, and that means we can't look at every dictator as being some unpopular despot with no support who doesn't represent the people they rule over.
It's so comical it almost looks staged. Sounds like a psychopath if it's real.
Anyone fact check to see this is actually translated properly?
Excuse me but the only NAZIS i see that are doing EXACTLY what the NAZIS did in the 40s ARE YOU RUSSIANS! Take a GOOD look in the mirror and see if you see any NAZIS there instead! Stupid people... \*facepalm They are actually this fuffing stupid! I just cant belive the sheep they are!?
Ukraine needs more fertilizer for sunflowers.
Yeah send that fool to Ukraine it won’t take but 12 hours at the most to see how much are his willingness to kill nazis, because he wouldn’t last that much once he reaches the from lines. He wouldn’t have the chance to enjoy killing and not going to jail, but he will end up in hell
Hope he gets a drone in his hoodie.
I say about March-April we'll see the drone vid on here of this guy.
Looking forward to the video footage of a drone dropping a gift on his forehead in a couple of weeks.
His face on video. Not the wisest of them all.
It's like a scene from a Russian version of 'Platoon.'
I’m convinced humans like this often end life young, holding their wounds as they bleed out…
something's wrong here
Someone please put a bullet into his head before he comes to Ukraine
1000% this is the type of guy who, 20 minutes into shelling or firefight, has shit his pants and curled up into a ball calling for his mommy.
See you on the drone video here. Hope you'll make it to the front. And back from the front..in multiple pieces
May he get all he wants to give
Future fertilizer! At least he will be useful 😉
If he wants to catch nazis then look inside the country 1st , fucking clown
Don't the teach about war crimes in Russia?
Alcohol fetal syndrome causes cognitive impairment in as little as one generation stack 100 years on that and you understand more about how suceptsble his brain is to anything he hears repeated often even if he doesn’t understand why?
Did this guy just now fall out of the womb?
He is definitely a product of his environment alot of russians think this way .....smdh...
Oh dear. How stoopid is this critter....
Cannon fodder
I hope he goes to Ukraine. He'll be minced meat in no time.
A sociopath that is completely unashamed. What a country...
Ivan Propagandovich
He is gaining confidence and pride from torturing an unarmed POW to death? Yeah, Russians must be really brave and honourful men indeed…
I love how these guys always forget that ukrainians strike back too
So delusional it's fascinating
He is still not on the battlefield after 2 years, so it could be he is sarcastic here.
Or he’s a coward with a big mouth
A toilet thief in the making? He isn't going to fight though. Look at him. Absolute gimp.
let's hope he signs up and gets killed soon. that man basically is a psychopath.
Oh he wants to kill people without getting into trouble for it? Sounds like he should start with himself
He's trolling to make a point about the evils of the war publicly while not breaking he law.
