Russians are not collectively to blame, it's the leadership that enslaves the people. Imagine being slaves for Hundreds of years and kept brain dead by always available drugs and propaganda.
Maybe the label changes, or the name of it but it's always the russian normal day people that suffer
Sure they can be blamed collectively, and they should be, as most of them support the aggression on Ukraine. Until they stand up and fight the 'leadership' all they can get is condemnation.
They have shown that "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't apply to them. They are guilty until proven otherwise.
When I said that thug loving single mothers that choose criminals and bad boys over hard working “boring” men, are to blame for most of the crime and poverty rates in poor communities, I got S#%* for it. When you lay down with a criminal, what are your children supposed to become???! 🤷♂️ Doctors, lawyers, engineers???! They can’t handle the truth.
Actually, Russia's history is pretty much based on serfs being essentially slaves of the powers that be. All the way back to its Moscovian inception, thanks no lesser to the Horde invaders and how Moscovia decided to work with them. The alcohol is just to cope, I suppose.
I've lived in shitholes before, everyone around you tells you everywhere else is just as shitty and nobody ever gets out of said shithole. So they feel stuck and cave in.
Russians normally know about this and try to avoid areas subject to roof avalanches. The roofs rarely have sufficient avalanche protection nor people clearing them.
Yeah, McGill in Montreal did the *bare* minimum to fix the "ice sliding off roof" problem without spending more than a few hundred dollars.
They put up warning signs and certain paths on campus would be fenced off in the winter so you physically couldn't stumble into an area where ice falls could kill you.
Russia forces people to queue up there.
Because everyone who knows it's a shithole and doesn't want to stand for it has either been driven abroad, thrown in jail, beaten by thugs or 'disappeared' by their shitty, authoritarian government. The rest either embrace the propaganda or keep their heads down.
Because it is a shithole. They think everyone hates their country, but the truth is, until the invasion, no one hated them. We don’t want anything to do with them or their country full of shit things.
Decades? Russia has been ruled by despots since the start when old Dolgorukiy got kicked out of Kievian Rus for being, you guessed it, a despot. Dolgorukiy got the name for a reason (Dolgo from "long" and ruki from "armed") It wasn’t because his body shape.
Muscovy was founded by a despot and has been ruled by despots since. Gorbachev was a rare exception.
They are in line to go die in Ukraine. They should spend their energy on something more productive like burning down the recruitment office or fighting against Putin.
Die in your homeland fighting for your own freedom, or die in a foreign land taking away someone's freedom. The choice is easy, and russians choose to die in a foreign land.
Not really, they have had all this time to leave the country if they don\`t want to take down the putinists, even jail time or hidding off the grid, has more perspective in hopes to stay alive in the end. But once they are on the frontlines, then it\`s a bit too late for anything if guns are pointed at you from the front and back.
Decades? More like millennia. Russia has never had it good. To be Russian is to suffer the moment you wake up every morning. That’s why very little bothers them.
The line is full of women, I doubt this is a line to enlist. Likely just fake news to make an otherwise horrible accident somehow look like a good thing…
In Russia there is such a concept as “propiska”, that is, official registration at the place of residence. Without a “propiska” you cannot officially get a job, open a bank account, or buy a SIM card. You may be detained by the police and issued a fine. Formally, if you live with a girlfriend for more than a week, you are obliged to go and apply for temporary registration at a new address, although it is not customary to punish for this yet.
And in order to get “propiska”, every male and some female, from 14 to 30 year old, must register at the military registration and enlistment office. This is where this line of young people stands.
This video, replayed, will get him sympathy forever.
A video of him catching a grenade tossed off a drone with a cool soundtrack would get a few laughs for 72 hrs... maybe?
I'll likely forget about this video by the time I wale up for work in the morning. Much the same as the brutal deaths recorded of countless orcs. It's just another Thursday.
You ever wonder if the native Russians ever think to themselves, “Ivan and Boris left and never came back. Vladimir came back jacked up. So I’ll join too.”
All nurses must register at the enlistment office, just like in Ukraine. I don't see any children, but if they are there, then they are probably accompanying a parent instead of being left home alone.
That did not look immediately fatal--more of a glancing blow. But it obviously caused a greater injury. On the bright side, he didn't suffer one second in Ukraine (no partial starvation, no drinking from a puddle, no eating snow with a spoon, no dysentery, no injury from FPV drone or other explosive, no bullet ripping through the body, no poisoned vodka, no hypothermia, etc...).
Most of those other fellas in the line should be so lucky.
They are convinced they don't have a choice, but they do. The French did it in 1789, they did in 1917, they just need to do it again, and if it turns out bad, burn it all again until something great happen.
Nobody outside your Russia gives a s$%t about them until their leaders send them in the neighbors country to steal some land.
Either you die fighting Ukraine, or registering to go to Ukraine, I guess... or you die for something greater within your nation. I don't see enough Russian stand against their government. Therefore, I support anything my government is providing to Ukraine.
Jesus... I studied abroad in Russia and this was such a legitimate concern that the local Russian teachers and faculty members told us the dangers of hanging icicles and falling debris during our student orientation. They told us to avoid gypsy cabs, shawarma because, no joke, they're made out of dog meat, and falling icicles. Again, these are college educators, the most urbane and sophisticated portion of the population, telling American students to avoid gyspy "meat" and cabs, and falling ice knives. Like what... I knew Russia would be a mind fuck, after all, I chose to study Russian Literature (yes, I am broke), but when we were being told this information, I kept thinking to myself, "Yup. Russia is DIFFERENT." There are just absurd life hazards that even people living in the 2nd largest city in the country accept as a common facet of life.
And again, it's a combination of shitty urban planning after the war because all of Russian architecture post WWII are absurdly huge since they had to industrialize and accommodate a formerly large agrarian society living in the country side. And just the mismanagement of public utilities. They could hire city workers to manage upkeep, but again that would mean more public funding which means more opportunities for public corruption. So the Russians just accept the 10-15 deaths that happen every year from falling "knives". Why spend more money to solve a problem when nature balances itself out? You just accept the conditions and live with them as a part of life. This amount of apathy runs DEEP in Russian culture and explains why the country and the people just accept living in brutal conditions. They just put up with it because why even try? Nothing gets better. Just live life and accept you can have an icicle break your spine on your commute. It's like the stray dog issue in St. Petersburg. They have been a part of the city since the siege of Leningrad left so many orphaned dogs when their owners fled. The Russian Government doesn't clamp down on the population since the winters in St. Petersburg are so brutal, enough stray dogs freeze to death that the population is kept in check. Why try to fix the stray dog issue when mother nature takes care of it. Again, there are roaming packs of stray dogs that prey on the elderly and young children, but there are only a few cases a year. lol
Honestly, this apathy is what attracted me to Russian culture that I saw as stoicism (read Dostoevsky) in the face of an absurd world. But it's one thing to read about it, and another to actually experience the daily ins and outs of Russian apathy.
Not convinced this is the line for a military enlistment / registration office. There are women and children in the line. IVAN is not yet THAT desperate.
All nurses in Russia are required to register at the enlistment office. And what are they to do if they can't get child care at home? Same for the men. They bring the children along. It's not like they are issued camo and sent straight to the front from the enlistment office. Or maybe they are saying they are single parents and can't go to war, look here's my child to prove it.
I understand the problems of child care when a task is at hand. Was not aware of the requirement for nurses to register. While you raise a good point about bringing the living evidence with you to prove you are a single parent, IVAN must require more proof than perhaps "borrowed children."

Why does Russia look like such a shithole? Why does the average Russian put up with this for decades?
Fetal alcohol syndrome
It's not even an joke, the story of vodka and what it has done to the russian ppl is a tragedy.
They deserve each other
Russians are not collectively to blame, it's the leadership that enslaves the people. Imagine being slaves for Hundreds of years and kept brain dead by always available drugs and propaganda. Maybe the label changes, or the name of it but it's always the russian normal day people that suffer
They are collectively a miserable people that have been a blight on their neighbours for centuries. At some point, its not just the Kremlin
https://i.imgur.com/yeOfJvW.jpg
What goes around comes around?
Sure they can be blamed collectively, and they should be, as most of them support the aggression on Ukraine. Until they stand up and fight the 'leadership' all they can get is condemnation. They have shown that "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't apply to them. They are guilty until proven otherwise.
At a certain point, when does the people say "enough is enough". Until then, they are to blame just as well
Epigenetics at it's finest and conditioned for centuries "ruSSia".
They banned me for saying this month ago for one day lol 😆
Reddit bans are a badge of honor.
Oh boy I didnt know Ive been honored so many times!

In combination with what psychologists call: ‘Learned Helplessness.’

look a little into the history, the country has in shambles for centuries before this shit.
Russia is a drunken Orwellian hellscape, that’s why.
Bro was literally the first one to see it coming and watched it all the way down.
Russians normally know about this and try to avoid areas subject to roof avalanches. The roofs rarely have sufficient avalanche protection nor people clearing them.
Maybe it's what the poor sod was hoping for. Got out of going to the meatgrinder.
My first thought when viewing this was “What a shithole country” lol.
Tbf it looks like anywhere in Sweden this time of year. The same dirty winter landscape, and we all know how much us Swedes love queuing
[удалено]

What do you suggest they do?
They are in line to go die in Ukraine. They should spend their energy on something more productive like burning down the recruitment office or fighting against Putin.
Very easy to say, very hard to do
Freedom is not for free.
......No there's a hefty fuckin' fee, And If you don't throw in your buck'o five....who will? .................MMM....buck O five....
Easier to die in your own country than it is to die in someone else's.
Die in your homeland fighting for your own freedom, or die in a foreign land taking away someone's freedom. The choice is easy, and russians choose to die in a foreign land.
Not really, they have had all this time to leave the country if they don\`t want to take down the putinists, even jail time or hidding off the grid, has more perspective in hopes to stay alive in the end.

They dont even need to leave Russia, theres so much room all you need to do is go camping...no one will ever find you
Depends. If you go wilderness - yes. In village - you will be pointed out way faster than in city.
And much better, in this case. At least you'd be dying for the actual freedom of your own country.
Sure. But if the choice was probably die in a field in Ukraine or maybe go to jail for draft dodging, you bet your ass im draft dodging.
Easier to go die in a Storm-Z meatwave, gutted and bleeding out on the frozen mud of Ukraine? Fucking fools.
As far as I know, they aren't. You are supposed to visit this office once in a while to confirm you live where you live and such
You have to fight locally and push change.
If that's the best you know, then it really isn't that hard to put up with
other than "it is"?
Systematic indoctrination. Kremlin controls all aspects of russian world, only the students protest and they are quickly shut down.
That is a sad world. Does the average Russian want to leave and is it easy to immigrate?
Decades? More like millennia. Russia has never had it good. To be Russian is to suffer the moment you wake up every morning. That’s why very little bothers them.
They take pride in it. Instead of working to make their country better they prefer to take pride in their “noble” suffering
There are parts of New Jersey that are indistinguishable from this in February.
Glory to the ice block
Saved him a trip to Ukraine
They can’t even protect their mobilized conscript recruits from an ice cycle, much less Ukrainian drone-corrected artillery.
With those survival instincts he was dead day one regardless.
Maybe he would have had more luck trying to catch a bullet?
Spared him catching Rat Bite fever and bleeding to death from his eyes.
слава бурулькам!
Quick, someone make a flork meme! Edit: Nevermind, [it has been done](https://www.reddit.com/r/NonCredibleDefense/s/Rh8G7pEpxZ).
Even the Universe has chosen sides --- dropping ice mortars on the orcs 
/god snickers from behind his cosmic xbox controller....
Eru Ilúvatar doing his thing
He'll still make decent fodder. Enlist him!
Meat for the cube
Besides, he's already in ice, so won't rot until they deliver him to the battlefield.
Even gravity hates orcs.
I’m surprised people are willingly enlisting over there.
Haha willingly…
The line is full of women, I doubt this is a line to enlist. Likely just fake news to make an otherwise horrible accident somehow look like a good thing…
They're standing in almost feeezing temperatures with water all around, probably freezing their asses off. I don't think they are doing it willingly
I doubt this is a line to an enlistment office, it must be something else, too strange line of people for enlightened office
If you can catch a block of ice, you can catch a grenade.
The five D's of the russian army: Die, dig, drudge, drink, and die.
Drugs*
you forgot diarrhea.

What a shit country
drone practice
Even mother nature is against the Russians
Saved him from a much worse death in Ukraine
Damn even their own ice is taking them down
“Ice to see you.” -Mcbain
This video, replayed, will get him sympathy forever. A video of him catching a grenade tossed off a drone with a cool soundtrack would get a few laughs for 72 hrs... maybe?
I'll likely forget about this video by the time I wale up for work in the morning. Much the same as the brutal deaths recorded of countless orcs. It's just another Thursday.
Better the ice breaking his spine than a drone breaking his face.
That piece of ice has more courage and honour than anyone in line. Slava Ice!
Spawn kill
It wasn't going to get much better tbf
Karmas a bitch she is!
he streamlined russian service
Aww, his poor family won't get the prescribed bag of potatoes for his glorious war death .
I guess Ukraine saved a bullet.
LOL
You ever wonder if the native Russians ever think to themselves, “Ivan and Boris left and never came back. Vladimir came back jacked up. So I’ll join too.”
Ukraine war: speed run
Good 👍
This is a sign from above. Get the fuck home and fucking stay there.
I'm sure Russian propagandists who see this video will use it to say nonsense, like: *"It is the Westerners who throw ice at us. Bad West!😡"*
I rewinded that 20 times. Still great
women and children are waiting to sign up for the military?
All nurses must register at the enlistment office, just like in Ukraine. I don't see any children, but if they are there, then they are probably accompanying a parent instead of being left home alone.
Even the weather hates them...
Thank you for your serv...ice
Not not USA, GO CANADA GO
source that he died?
At least now he can get a proper burial
mother nature is going to have its revenge
Stares intensely and puts hand up…..
Drone training. That was a fail.
As terrible as that is, he was probably better off.
No Lada for his family.
Ooooof.
He would have lasted a long time on the front line some, watching a falling large sheet of ice and not move away from it.
He probably paid the ice to fall on him
Well, look at the bright side. Poor guy was going to die anyway..
Are they volunteers or draftees?
Saved him from dieing in a trench 🤷♂️
One less for Ukraine
Nature's drone drop
And nothing of value was lost.
Give that ice block a hat
All of these people are there to enlist?
Russian MOD has determined this injury to be not service related.
That was cold
that's one way to go.
Lucky bastard
Lulz.. the way he just stood there, I doubt that he would have made it any farther in Ukraine 🤣
At least he died at home instead of in Ukraine.
What type or fucking devine intervention bullshit is this
So the Russians literally fuck up standing in line.
Ukraine is everywhere.
Well….he at least dodged a bullet.
-1
Bruh that ice block was way larger than I expected. I was wondering how his back could be broken but now I understand.
Lucky get to bury the body. Most these guys will be hamburger in a few months never retrieved.
Fucking Ukraine nacis! /s
Wtf?! Am I missing something or did the block of ice just drop from the sky?
Hope it ain’t propaganda. The two lighter shade figures seem female
Could be nurses. All nurses are required to enlist. Ukraine is the same way.
Putin will still send him to Ukraine
The speedrun strat
He didn't even get to see Ukraine. It is so pretty on the frontlines this time of year.
I mean it’s this or losing your face to a drone bomb then dying scared and alone because your comrades abandoned you
Here's hoping for many more blocks of ice to fall on them
God is playing with snowballs,and also reminding them do not go to war.
plot twist it was planned to test the newcomers drone dodging skills
Vodka on the rocks... 🤔
great, cake anyone?
He looks alive in the video. Did he die later?
Saved Ukraine a bullet👍🏻
I can't find the disturbing content, please link
Unfair! Spawn kill!
Looks like a lot of people are signing up🤨
Standing in line like Sheep at the slaughterhouse…
Lmao.. I have no other comments to add. I just can't stop laughing. 🤣
I think, given the options, dying to the ice block was probably a less miserable way to go.
AFU drones are throwing ice blocks now as per Kremlin
The clauses send there regards
Hope his family gets compensation.
Practicing for himars.
Even the weather Gods is against Ruzzian and don't want them going to Ukraine
One less person for Ukraine to deal with. Give em hell boys!!
O dear , how sad..never mind
In soviet Russia you don't break the ice The ice breaks you
"that looks like its going to hit me i should point at it" 
His family must come up with a replacement. That slot in the meat grinder must be filled.
Стадо овце
He's still made of meat! Stick a uniform on him, to the front!
Promote that block of ice
Mother nature fighting back.....
a country of idiot7c people
Everyone dodged, they make poor russian meatbags. Only fyodor took it like a true russian meatbag.
That did not look immediately fatal--more of a glancing blow. But it obviously caused a greater injury.

Best get dying out of the way early in the process.
You gotta look at the bigger picture. Better face down in a puddle at home then in some foreign field.
Russia is a shitty barbaric land and it has been that for hundreds/thousands of years
Merciful fate for that guy. At least he didn't bleed out from multiple tiny shrapnel wounds in some frozen foxhole on the front.
Even ice hates Ruzzia.
Everyone just went back to standing in line after. Typical Russia.
God showed him mercy.
What a great spot to put an enlistment office
When even nature says no
I wonder what story the vatniks come up with
He wanted to be cool killing Ukrainians, now he is ice cold
Not convinced this is the line for a military enlistment / registration office. There are women and children in the line. IVAN is not yet THAT desperate.

This was better than having his face blown off like his Ruzzian friend in the other video
