One Twitter user commented: “Oh dear…Russian state broadcaster RT has a Christmas message for Europeans”.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has been portrayed as Santa Claus in an anti-Western propaganda video posted on the country’s social media this week.
The film – shot by a production company called Signal – shows “Santa Putin” swapping a photo of a child’s same-sex parents for one of mother and father and giving the boy, who grows up as a girl, a soccer ball, toy cars and a drum kit .
The video feeds on Russian prejudices about Europe and the United States, which were fueled during the war in Ukraine by pro-Kremlin propagandists to portray the conflict as a clash of values between Russia and Ukraine’s western allies.
