      It’s probably not. This short of propaganda has been used by militaries throughout history to dehumanize the enemy.

      We-ell, I’ve seen it in a Russian TG chat. IIRC the conversation implies two soldiers deserted, were in a house in the middle of nowhere, one killed another, ate him for a couple of weeks, then died. Then their, eh, brothers in arms found that place.

      Yup. But might as well be true. C’mon, they take soldiers from prisons, what could go wrong?

        Idk man that seems like a really irresponsible way to interpret information. I prefer to stay vigilant regardless of which perspective I favor

      Probably russian comrade meat has a bit of cigarette and vodka flavour. I’ll have to admit that’s not my ideal flavour profile.
