Ok, fine, that was a niche joke :/
...but ON FIRE!!!
#Kuznetsov
#Kuznetsov signing with the #KHL is a real weird one. He he was just in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program (reason not given but probably something to do with), just banned from playing hockey in Russia for 4 years because of his cocaine problem, so I have no idea what that KHL contracts is about.
Vaguely suspect he's being lured to Russia to end up on the front lines in Ukraine.
A duo of Russian pranksters who often target and compromise people the Russian state is interested in have been given a top state award in the #Kremlin, the RIA state news agency reported on Thursday.
RIA published a picture of the two pranksters Vladimir #Kuznetsov and Alexei #Stolyarov, who use the aliases "Vovan and Lexus," at a Kremlin award ceremony wearing what appear to be Order of Friendship awards as they clutched flutes of champagne.
State media in #Russia are reporting the arrest of Lieutenant General Yuri #Kuznetsov, the head of Personnel for the Ministry of Defense (MOD).
The purge continues.
Was #Shoigu taken out of the #MOD in advance for the sake of optics, thus not seen to be associated with, or responsible for, the other corrupt officials in his department?
Really, the biggest problem with the #Kuznetsov Class Cope Ramp Cruisers is that you can never truly tell when they are merely cranking the engine of catching fire.
When in doubt, look for tugboats. If you do NOT see a tugboat, assume it's on fire.
The last time #russia tried to crank the #Kuznetsov, Dec2022, it caught fire.
Again.
Previously, it caught fire TWICE and lost most of its flying deck, mid 2018.
Cope Ramp Cruisers.... when will they learn.
ROFLMAO
#russia first demanded #China give them the #Liaoning back, because it was sold from Soviet scrap, by #Ukraine.
Then they were laughed off the table, and they started making offers for it, which were paltry, and the Chinese are still giggling.
Pathetic.
Must mean they finally accepted the #Kuznetsov is irrecoverable.
😂
#Russian ambassador to #Finland Pavel #Kuznetsov in an interview
"The atmosphere of #Russophobia, encouraged by the #Finnish authorities and fueled by the so-called independent press, also affects the daily life of the embassy and its staff. For example, a number of local companies that for many years provided the embassy with business services (garbage removal, car and elevator maintenance, tree trimming, etc) refused to further cooperate with us"
The Masterpiece No One Wanted to Save
Censored and then forgotten, Anatoly Kuznetsov’s "Babi Yar," about the Nazi occupation of Kyiv, is again painfully relevant. By George Packer.

@Renegade_GDI@mastodon.world @benb looting, #rape and #murder has always been a trademark of the #RedArmy but the positive thing is that #Russia can't use the #Kuznetsov and I doubt they will manage to repair it in near decade.
And those russian missiles for the Slava class, with how many of the russian missiles exploded in Russia, I think those #Ukrainian made that hit #Moscov are better to use, damn they explode nicely when they hit the illegal constructed bridge from Ukraine to #Tuzla
Слава Україні!
The blaze started on the Admiral #Kuznetsov, Russia's only aircraft carrier, while it was docked at the Zvyozdochka shipyard in the Barents Sea port city of Murmansk, located in the far north-west of #Russia. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-kuznetsov-murkansk-fire-aircraft-carrier-1768956?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1671703373
Russia's famous chain-smoking, geriatric and only aircraft carrier caught fire again this morning. The 42 year old Admiral #Kuznetsov was previously scheduled to finish major repair work during 2024. https://marineschepen.nl/nieuws/Weer-brand-aan-boord-Russisch-vliegkampschip-Kuznetsov-221222.html
How is it even possible for #Russia to be so insanely bad at this stuff?
Admiral #Kuznetsov is on fire, again!
22 Dec. 2022, A🔥broke out aboard the #Kuznetsov. The sources claim that the fire spread to a 6-meter area on the open deck. They also stated that the crew immediately reacted to the fire and extinguished it. The crew is currently checking the other compartments to ensure safety.
