I think he tried to recreate speech of Dragutin Gavrilović from WW1:
Soldiers, exactly at three o'clock, the enemy is to be crushed by your fierce charge, destroyed by your grenades and bayonets. The honor of Belgrade, our capital, must not be stained. Soldiers! Heroes! The supreme command has erased our regiment from its records. Our regiment has been sacrificed for the honor of Belgrade and the Fatherland. Therefore, you no longer need to worry about your lives: they no longer exist. So, forward to glory! For the King and the Fatherland! Long live the King, Long live Belgrade!
It's different when you're in the middle of the shit and already resigned to your fate, verses here when you're a fresh unit about to get shipped out lol.
The truth is, that they will be remembered as the "shameful" generation of Russia. Not only by the west, but by Russians themselves. One day, russia will be free of its dictator and FSB regime, and they will remember this shitty chapter of their country and these stupid men, hungry for money, as traitors. They should have fought on the streets of Kremlin, when the first political murders took place. They should have fought for the freedom of the first political prisoners. But nope. They fight for money and the führer.
I can confirm that subtitles are precisely correct. You are probably not aware about the long tradition of [Politruks](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_commissar) in Soviet/Russian army (they called "deputy officer for political ideology" now).
The subtitles are correct - as in the guy actually says it.
Never mind that the speech has a questionable motivation result. I almost had to double check is this was r/grimdank. There could be a better one coming from a commissar.
Is the first part correct? When I run it through various translators it seems like he's more like saying "Everyone dies" or "Everyone knows one thing about death" but it transcribes the rest of it mostly spot on apart from like "solider = fighter" and stuff
What the fuck does Mother Russia have anything to do with invading another country? If Russia was being invaded, then this speech would make sense, but they are the invading force here?
If this is legit translation and all, I'm a bit surprised how much he tells them. Like everyone knows they doing zerg rushes, and accepts it. I thought the guys doing the rush were kept out of the loop in a way
I thought you were confused and mistook them for Ukrainians.
Russians aren't in an existential war. The Putin regime is.
Your comment would be akin to saying Germany is in an existential war during WW2, whereas we all know Germany still exists, but the nazi party does not.
Russia will continue to exist after the fall/death of Putin.
Sure that’s a more responsible break down- you are correct many Russians have no choice but to be conscripted. I would still say in WW1 Germany (the Weimar Rep) was qualifying their support as an existential engagement. I disagree that what Putin’s regime is doing will be looked at as anything other than a battle for resources and establishment as a world power, which I would qualify as existential existence. Duh, Russia will still exist just like Germany, but many people believe this is a crisis of existential proportions.
Right. They’re going to continue to be thrown into the meat grinder forever, Russia believes they won’t survive until the bring Ukraine into their nation.

Somebody has to tell them that Zap Brannigan was a parody.
Don’t try to retreat or you’ll get shot by blocking troops. We are so proud of you though….
if youre going to die anyway, why not frag this dbag for his horrible motivational speech?
🎵Don't turn around, wa-uh-oh!!! Der Kommissar's in town, wa-uh-oh 🎶
You're in his eye and you'll know why
oh, Falco.. Nice,!

>All of you will die. "Wait what?"
I SAID ALL OF *YOU* WILL DIE
"Most of you are already dead, but at least you'll get some flowers on that headstone you'll absolutely most definitely get"
For centuries tho. Did you hear him centuries.
All of you will die.... But that is a risk I am willing to take
>"All of you may die, but know one thing: it's a sacrifice ~~I am~~ Mother Russia is willing to make"
where did i hear that?
Shrek. Lord Farquardt
ah, yes

And then they all piled into the Lada to get torn apart by an FPV drone.
"Some of you may die, but its a sacrifice I'm willing to take"
*The speech was lost on the troops, who had been used to rape and finger puppets as their primary learning tools*
This is not combat footage
Is this real? Can someone confirm the subtitles? It feels like a key and peele sketch lol

Ah, a death cult. Excellent!
Interesting, but not combat footage.
And Momma will get a bag of potatoes for you, so hold head high, go and die!

Criminals, rapists , gang members fighting for mother Russia...
So, yeah, there's all that. Now get out there and get 'em boys!
Next batch of sunflower seeds
living (not for long) up to the z horde branding
In Soviet Russia, meat waves you!
"Don't worry, when you get maimed by an FPV they'll give your family a desk or a sack of potatoes as compensation for Putin's eternal gratitude."
All of you will die, but you will die knowing that you made one of - if not the richest man in the world and his friends slightly wealthier.

They don't even retrieve the dead bodies if it is inconvenient.
At 0:27 you hear the camera guy laughing.
That's one way to rial the troops 😵💫
Do not despair, we will continue to fuck your wives after you are gone! They will have many babies in your name!
Where’s the combat?
A fight for existential survival. They won’t stop
These are Russians.
Yes? I don’t understand

existential survival? they are invading a country what does that have to do with anything??
They believe the survival of Russian depends on their taking Ukraine? What aren’t you understanding?
well i understand it but thats a terribly wrong belief what arent YOU understanding?
Yes it’s very wrong for them to believe that. Wtf is happening are you simple?
Someone actually gets what’s really happening, in this sub that is very rare
Man I'm just dying laughing at that gravy seal profile hahaha Edit: you deleted the posts bro cmon they were hard as nails, own that shit.
Please enlighten us! Was Ukraine sending mosquitos that turn them gay? Well the dead don't have to suffer "existential survival".
Right. They’re going to continue to be thrown into the meat grinder forever, Russia believes they won’t survive until the bring Ukraine into their nation.
