In Russia, losing a son to the war can get you a new car

[toomuchtime_]

"Russian state TV ran a report on the unexpected benefits of having your son killed in Ukraine, says Francis Scarr, who translates Russian TV for BBC Monitoring. Scarr posted video of the report on Twitter, showing a family with the new, Russian-made Lada car they apparently bought with "coffin money" paid by the state to the families of war victims. The father of the fallen soldier, identified as Alexei, says his son always wanted a white car."

"In memory of our son we bought a nice, new car," the father says. The clip ends with the what is described as the vehicle's first trip – to the cemetery."

What a heartwarming story!

All you get here is Biden or Hillary denying they had anything to do with it. "Can't help you, Jack!"

Apparently in Putin's Russia the attitude is, anyone can have a son, but getting a new car is really special.

Better than the piece of flashy tin the Soviets gave a survivor's family.....It's a piece of flashy piece of tin with a motor.

Is that the same for the American soldiers who died in Iraq and Afghanistan?

Soviet Era Russian joke about new car: A successful Comrade decides he is wealthy enough now to afford a new car. He goes to car agency and places his order. The salesman says it will be delivered on Tuesday, March 3, in ten years.

"Morning or afternoon?" asks the customer. Salesman asks, "Why do you want to know?"

"The plumber is coming to fix my sink that morning."

The question is, can Russia build 40,000 new Ladas?
