There is a tremendous amount of cultural weight behind this. The Russian Revolution began on International Woman’s Day 1917 when crowds of women, often older, gathered in St Petersburg to protest the price of bread and the ongoing insanity of the Great War. Those women started the fire that would burn down the Czarist State
Look up, who this is. Grandmas. And they claim to act on behalf of some patriotic group in the government that is actually pro war.
And that just doesn’t make sense. 90 years old women standing in the middle of the street with Molotov cocktails. Literally, that’s no exaggeration.
Nothing makes sense in Russia and never did. Just relax and enjoy the show!
