Moscow Got Hit. Then the Memes Went Wild - Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦

[2naSalit]

Ukraine's latest strike on the Moscow oil refinery produced something unusual: a flood of reactions from Russian citizens, state media messaging, and an internet meme explosion unlike anything we've seen in months.

In this episode, we examine how Moscow residents reacted to the attack, reports that local authorities withheld shelter information, the messaging coming from Russian newspapers, and the growing debate inside Russia about a war that is increasingly reaching Moscow itself.

Then we dive into 35 of the most creative, absurd, and viral memes inspired by the refinery explosion. From Star Wars to Star Trek, from The Office to UFOs, the internet responded in ways nobody could have predicted.
