Wow! A boy in a Soviet military uniform. A girl in a Russian sarafan and kokoshnik. At the White House Halloween celebration this week, greeted by the President and the First Lady.
For many people here, this is just a costume.
For me, this is the uniform of an army that IS killing my nation
This is how romanticization of Russia works. Not through big statements. Through small things. A costume, a such cute photo. A broadcast on the official White House channel. Little by little, Russia becomes folklore. Not a country that kills children on playgrounds.
Hey propaganda is it you? No, it’s just a costume
