The Russian Christmas commercial with a provocative message for the “Anti-Russian”
December 24, 2022
Last March, the 27 EU countries agreed to ban Russian media RT and Sputnik. “We will ban the Kremlin’s media machine”, were the words of the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
Now, RT has responded with a strong message for having it banned EU territory through a provocative commercial lasting just over a minute:
It begins by showing a happy European family celebrating the holidays of 2021 and a little girl who receives a hamster with a red bow on her head as a gift from Santa Claus.
A year later, everything changes for that family. Already at war, the landscape is completely bleak. Having no light in the house or heating, the cold hits them and they feel as warm as if they were outdoors.
So, the father of the family turns to the pet. Through his classic wheel, he puts together an electrical system so that, running, the hamster gives light to the Christmas tree and thus at least makes the little girl smile.
The last scene is the most dramatic. They glimpse a terrifying future. It’s Christmas 2023. The cold continues, the heating still doesn’t work, the windows of the house are completely destroyed by bombing and neither the hamster nor his wheel appear on the living room table.
Dinner is also poor. The woman arrives with a soup which the girl looks disappointed. Apparently, even the little girl is sad about losing her hamster.
Introducing a bite into his mouth, the father of the family takes out the bow from the inside, the one that the pet had a long time ago. The last image focuses on the woman who signals silence to the man so that her daughter does not find out, implying that the hamster is not lost but was sacrificed to be able to eat.
Merry "Anti-Russian" Christmas!. If your media doesn’t tell you where all this is going, RT is available via VPN, the commercial ends, after this images.
