Fainting Piglet 20 - Not Every Mushroom Is a Truffle
"Not Every Mushroom Is a Truffle", because when the UK sends depleted uranium to the Ukraine, the resulting mushroom might not be to the piglet's liking...
"Victory Day" with English and Russian subtitles, performed by Joseph Kobzon.
Translation by Putinger's Cat: https://t.me/putingers_cat/5306
This is a song that every Soviet knows, performed by Joseph Kobzon, who was a great Soviet singer. It is translated with rhyme and rhythm, if you wish to learn it.
День Победы, как он был от нас далёк,
Как в костре потухшем таял уголёк.
Были вёрсты, обгорелые, в пыли, —
Этот день мы приближали, как могли.
Припев:
Этот День Победы
Порохом пропах.
Это праздник
С сединою на висках.
Это радость
Со слезами на глазах.
День Победы!
День Победы!
День Победы!
Дни и ночи у мартеновских печей
Не смыкала наша Родина очей.
Дни и ночи битву трудную вели —
Этот день мы приближали, как могли.
Припев.
Здравствуй, мама, возвратились мы не все…
Босиком бы пробежаться по росе!
Пол-Европы прошагали, пол-Земли, —
Этот день мы приближали, как могли.
Припев.

Victory Day
(music by David Tukhmanov, lyrics by Vladimir Kharitonov)
Victory Day, it had seemed to be so far,
Like an ember glowing in a dying fire.
Long scorched miles we had walked in dust and soot.
For this day to come, we gave all that we could.
Chorus:
This Victory Day gunpowder’s in the air.
It’s a celebration with temples glistening with gray hair.
There is gladness with tears shimmering in the eyes.
Victory Day! Victory Day! Victory Day!
Day and night, smelting furnaces glowed bright.
Our Мotherland never stopped for a respite.
Day and night, mortal battles we withstood.
For this day to come, we gave all that we could.
Chorus.
Hello, mama. Some sons moms will never greet...
Oh, how I wish to feel the dew on my bare feet!
Half of Europe, half the Earth we walked on foot.
For this day to come, we gave all that we could.
Chorus.
"Nowadays, all were indiscriminately conscripted into the army"
A very short clip from the 1978 Italian comedy "Uncle Adolf, Nicknamed Führer" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loggerheads_(1978_film)) (known under the English title "Loggerheads") by Franco Castellano and Giuseppe Moccia, starring Adriano Celentano, shows precisely how the Ukraine is now performing its mobilisation.
The parody on the life of Adolf Hitler, "Loggerheads" is partly a collage film, combining dubbed historical archive footage with similarly-shot original footage of Celentano and other actors.

The original title is a play on words "lard", "self" and "delusion". It does not lend itself to a direct translation. So instead of "Self-delusion", I think going with a more catchy and truer to the original intent "Swindelusion" (an attempt to play on the words "swine", "swindle" and "delusion").
The lyrics for "Sacred War" was written in 1941 by Vasilij Lebedev-Kumach, and the music created by Alexandr Alexandrov right after the poem was published. More about it in the documentary "The Singing Weapon. Alexandrov Ensemble": https://odysee.com/@Nemo1k:f/The-Singing-Weapon-Alexandrov-Ensemble-documentary:b).
The song became the anthem of the Great Patriotic War!

Flåmsbanen is a short railway branching from Bergensbanen, starting at 866 meters above sea level in Myrdal and ending in Flåm, just 2 meters above sea level. The trip offers some spectacular mountain views.
The camera recordings from the trip with Flåmsbanen were published by NRK under the Creative Commons license.

NRK published the first part of the journey, excluding tunnels as two separate video sources from left- and right-eye cameras. Using those, I have created a red-cyan anaglyph version.

From the creator (https://t.me/svinkavobmoroke/461)
Previously, it was difficult to identify in a crowd someone who does not study history and does not understand politics (I'm talking about ordinary citizens of any country, not politicians). However, today they are easily recognised in the crowd by their faith in democracy, cries of “NO WAR" and support for Ukraine.
I regret that I did not make a small series about democracy earlier. A bigger write-up from me on this topic here: https://t.me/svinkavobmoroke_chat/625819
Even those who do not learn, believe in such fairy tales as freedom of speech, or that the president of any country is guided solely by his emotions during military operations, that TV never lies or makes mistakes, and in the good intentions of the United States. [I refer such people] to the full list of armed conflicts unleashed by the United States throughout history.
For those who want to delve into the topic and understand how entire countries are being destroyed, I strongly recommend reading John Perkins' book "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man".
I want to emphasize right away that for me the American people and American politicians are not the same thing. Not all Americans allow themselves to be brainwashed. Many are learning, so they do not support the actions of their government at all. A recent example of this is Tucker Carlson, his entourage and his followers. I wish such Americans fortitude and thank them for not being afraid to tell the truth in a country where there is no freedom of speech.
The Russian title contains a play on the word "grunt" and "shitty". The closest parallel that comes to mind, is "porky" and "poor", so here are the "Poor'ky Plans"! Most of the allusions in the cartoon should be familiar to those living outside of the Western MSM bubble.

Ever wondered what is the common denominator between Vietnam, Yugoslavia and Iraq? How democratic values are dropped from the US war planes? Why Agent Orange, white phosphorus and depleted uranium are the tools of democracy? This documentary by Pavel Selin was aired on VGTRK in 2015, but has acquired an added weight in 2023.
In 2023 this "democratisation" made a new step with the UK providing the Ukraine with depleted uranium munitions. However, before the whole of Donbass could have been contaminated with them , the stash was destroyed by the Russian aerial strike, with the radioactive plume travelling with the wind towards Poland, Scandinavia, and - in a "return to sender" gesture - to the UK. The dangers of the depleted uranium are described in the article "Ukraine's Depleted Uranium Blast: Europe on Brink of 'Environmental Disaster'" (https://sputnikglobe.com/20230519/ukraines-depleted-uranium-blast-europe-on-brink-of-environmental-disaster-1110462939.html) by Dr. Chris Busby, physical chemist and scientific secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk.

Bizarre delusions of grandeur to go with self-seductive propaganda narratives seem to be inherent as Western imperialism once a century launches project "defeat and conquer Russia".
German Nazism once displayed it big time, and EU and NATO now parrot their predecessor while openly aligning politically with Fascism.
Since start of the SMO western MSM have consistently reported "Russia out of missiles". A mantra that didn't age very well and the humour is lost on no-one, when the articles are viewed in one take. We added some 1940s deja-vu, plus a little something for the full-spectrum experience. Earplugs!
