About ostentatious patriotism for the sake of money

🇷🇺 About “ostentatious“ patriotism for the sake of money We have noticed a new trend: if you make a mistake, you can go to the SMO zone and “all will be forgiven.“ For some reason, among the Russian public figures, this has become either a loophole or a modern life hack. And it turns out that before this, they had avoided discussing the legality of the SMO, but now, when they have lost their source of income, they suddenly become patriots. Take a look at Kirkorov: right after the scandal with Ivleeva died down, he quickly rushed to Donbass to display his patriotism. What can we conclude from this? The simplest conclusion is that the residents of Donbass, the participants of the SMO, and all the volunteers are simply a means to improve their reputations and an opportunity to be seen as righteous individuals. Such “trips“ undermine the efforts of thousands of people who genuinely do good from the kindness of their hearts, rather than for the purpose of being recognized by others. #Donetsk #culture #Russia Источник: Rybar in English
