♪♫ Are you smarter than a fifth grader? ♫♪

Yeah, right? Extinguishing via explosion was fucking brilliant in this case. Dude needs to be an oil well fireman when he grows up!

5th grader gonna 5th grade.

Each Eternal Flame has its own police guard near it. Yes, there are multiple of those in Russia.

If they didn't want it extinguished why did they make it extinguisher sized? 🤔🤔🤔

Like grilled cheese in a VCR.

oo he just dropped it in, well played i hope he escapes.

word is he went right from there to a recruitment office and is on the front lines as we speak

He's fine-ish. His parents will probably be in the gulag, and then he'll be in a state-run orphanage. so.. probably still a 5th grader somewhere.

Probably also ex-alive

Brave kid, though.

About to receive fifth degree burns.

*tommorow

Jumped out of a window... kids do the darndest things.

You joke, but opposition action by Russian minors is cause for parents to lose custody.

It depends a lot on who his parents are and what type of activity authorities find they’ve been doing, but there is chance greater than zero that kid could be in an orphanage next year.

For example: a girl one year older than this boy drew an anti-war picture when assigned to draw one in support of Russian troops. That triggered an investigation, which found her father posted anti-war content online.

She is now in a orphanage and he is forbidden to contact her (he’s a single father). Officially, a court case will decide the final fate, but it looks very bad.

Unfortunately he had an unexpected health issue and passed away.Officials say it wasn’t from poisoning “for sure”.

he is already at the western front.

This is more directed at others replying to you than at you specifically, but I find it frustrating that people accuse russians of not rising up against their government on one hand (as justification for blanket hatred against their people), but then on the other hand make light of it when they do rise up with jokes like “straight to the gulag with you!”

These are people’s fucking lives that we’re joking about here. Most of us can’t even comprehend the weight of the decision this kid made. He needs to be recognized as a god damn hero instead of as a basis for braindead jokes about falling out of windows.

I dont think his classmates saw him come back after this happened.

Smarter too. You use all of it all at once, and you get to get far away before its noticable. If there weren't camreas everywhere now he would have gotten away with it.

Creativity of the proces is 100 times more satisfying at the least.

TIL, I’ve been doing it wrong all these years.

Seems like an Omen for a fallen Empire lol

Asking the important questions

Now I can't see anything else but the word cunt

I hope the graphic designer was laughing his ass off when they agreed to use that design

What if the company is called cunt shot?

No, no, you’re thinking of the EHOT logo.

Some men just want to watch the world not burn.

Why not both

Yes

We might care, but I don't think Russia does.

How many 5th graders do you think make cogent political statements

As much as reddit, social media and media in the west wants to pretend, not every Russian is pro-war. Just like social media and media in Russia wants to pretend that every Russian is pro-war.

I know Russians living here in Finland. Like my friends' husband, who been trying to get their nephew somehow across the border to Finland, as they are soon 18. Wanting to avoid the chances they get sent to Ukraine. While the husbands son from the first marriage, is extremely pro-war, and since the war they have not been on speaking terms.

That fith grader could have Ukrainian family, as many Russians do have. Their brother/father/uncle whoever could have been killed in Ukraine.

Considering what I have seen leaking from Russia. It is the young people who are putting up the most colourful protests. Victory day, the major Russian holiday (And the day putin said the war would be won - last year) is closing in. It is in... 8 weeks? I'm sure the youths will come up with lots of wonderful things.

You see the thing is that... lot of the young people in Russia have had access to the west, grown up with the western comforts, seen the west, played videogames with westerners. Now... The war lead to them getting disconnected. They didn't grow up with USSR. They grew up during economic prosperity that trade with west allowed for. They grew up with Hesburger, McDonalds, Western brand stuff, luxury goods from Europe. They don't want to drink kvass and eat sunflower seeds in a decaying commieblock... that isn't even a commieblock, but rental apartments from private equity.

There are like HILLARIOUS videos about women fighting in Ikea over the last frying pan. https://youtube.com/shorts/gGLE_6gX9TM and other such things. When it turns out that western luxury is out of reach, those used to it ain't gonna be happy with anything less. Especially since it is unjustly taken from them by a dictator wanting to do genoicide to boost their ego.

E: Ok. Ukraine must win the war. Crimea belongs to Ukraine. Putin is a war criminal and should be arrested and face trial at ICC. I'm not Russian, I'm Finnish. Those soldiers that genocided civilians in Ukraine must be arrested and face trial at ICC.

"Fell"

Nah it’s Russia, he’ll trip and fall out a window.

Is that before or after the 10th floor window spits him out?

“Cool guys don’t look at explosions”

-that kid probably

Plot twist: he's caught and already on his way to the frontline

Or his brother or father died in Ukraine.

If your erection lasts longer than 35 years…

this is the correct statement. it baffles me how people can’t separate the history from anti-russian and anti-human putins actions. the kid is probably clueless about both of those anyway

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far for some actual context. Just because Russia is doing shitty things on a global scale doesn’t mean this kid disrespecting a memorial is cool.

Not to mention, Russia is explicitly using the message of "we are the saviours fighting against the Nazis" as a justification for invading Ukraine, who they claim are the new Nazis, which would be rather relevant to this memorial.

Politicians are trying to use the memory of the war for selfish purposes. This is the only reason for the hatred of monuments and parades.

They've made a ridiculous agressive cult out of that war. "we can repeat" "assault Berlin" And they use it to justify this war. If the kid was 3 years older I'd be 100% sure it's a political statement

And then jumping out a hotel window*

made in Russia

Since 1985? Call your doctor.

OUR erection

Off to the western front for him.

This isn’t a “Courageous young man”. He is destroying a monument dedicated to soldiers who fought fascism.

So how did he do that? I'm definitely dumber than this fifth grader and don't know how extinguishers work.
