Propaganda absurdity: New Year according to the Kremlin. Russia continues to amaze with its absurd propaganda moves. This time the Kremlin machine launched a “patriotic” video in which Russian air defense shoots down Santa Claus flying over Moscow with “gifts” in the form of missiles with the NATO logo.
Note that the Houthi missile was shot down by an American missile this night (namely NATO) air defense system. It was the THAAD battery, recently delivered to Israel, that intercepted a Yemeni missile launched into the center of the country on the night of December 27.
The video ends with the words of the “Russian” Santa Claus: “We don’t need anything foreign in our skies.”
What is especially disgusting in this context is that Russian propaganda actually mocks the tragedy associated with a real plane crash. The video mentions a downed “foreign object”, and in the Z-channels clear parallels with the recent crash of an Azerbaijani passenger plane.
This is not the first time that Russian propaganda has demonstrated extreme cynicism and clear disregard for basic human values. The situation is aggravated by the fact that such videos are produced for a domestic audience and are actively distributed through Z-channels.
Well, let's note that Moreover, Santa Claus is Saint Nicholas. One of the most revered Christian saints, including in the Russian Orthodox Church.
Well, now who in Israel is “friends” with Santa Claus, it will be extremely difficult to explain this……

Saint Nicholas, damn
Before this, the masterpiece of the Russian bottom was deservedly a video about St. Nicholas in Ukraine, who breaks into a little girl through the window and drags her dad into the TCC. – the title is “Nothing Sacred.”

Cynicism on the verge of absurdity: mockery of tragedy
| Event | Russian reaction | Reaction of the world community |
|---|---|---|
| Shooting down of an Azerbaijani plane | Conflicting statements about the “Carpet regime” | Outrage and condemnation by the international community |
| Propaganda video with Santa Claus | Using tragedy in a “patriotic” context | Perceived as just another act of cynicism |
Russian propaganda openly exploits the theme of the plane crash, ignoring the tragedy of human lives. Such actions once again prove that the Russian regime is ready to use any situation for its own benefit, even at the cost of insulting the memory of the dead.
“We don’t need anything foreign”: what is hidden behind these words?
They don't need anything foreign in their sky. Are they talking about the Embraer 190 of Azerbaijan Airlines?
The cynicism of Putin’s subjects is boundless, those same “ordinary Russians” whom no one actually forces to write batches of denunciations and produce such videos…
The video makes a statement that Russia does not need “anything foreign” “in its skies.” However, this statement raises questions.
- Boeing and Airbus aircraft: Russia is still actively using Western aircraft, despite sanctions and a lack of spare parts.
- Cars: Imported cars continue to dominate the roads, despite propaganda slogans.
- Technologies: From computers to phones, the Russian economy depends on foreign electronics.
On the website NAnews — Israel News has previously discussed that Russian rhetoric about “independence” is not backed up by real actions.
How does propaganda influence international relations?
The globe featured in the opening scene deserves special attention in the video. On it you can see distortions of geography, which will clearly please Russia’s ally China (China is half the world there).
Such actions not only cast Russia in an absurd light, but also irritate its few partners.
Israeli reaction
Events related to the Russian video also resonated in Israel. Due to the tense situation in Russian airspace, the Israeli airline El Al decided to suspend flights to Moscow.
The company's press service stated:
“Due to events in Russian airspace, El Al airline is suspending all flights on the Tel Aviv-Moscow route for the coming week. The decision to resume flights will be made after a re-assessment of the situation.”
This is further evidence that Russia’s actions pose a real threat to international security, and not just to its reputation.
Why is it important to pay attention?
Russia is turning propaganda into a tool for manipulating the consciousness of its citizens, creating an alternative reality. Absurd claims such as “Santa Claus carries bombs” are aimed at distracting attention from real problems, including economic decline, international isolation and human rights violations.
It is important for Israel, as for Ukraine, to continue to expose such disinformation attempts. NAnews – Israel News will monitor developments and share analytics on this topic.
Santa Claus is already in Israel!
As reported by the Russian Embassy in Israel, on December 27, 2024 in Tel Aviv, representatives Coordinating Council of Organizations of Russian-Speaking Compatriots of Israel with the assistance of the Russian Embassy and Russian House in Israel held festive events for children on the occasion of the upcoming New Year.
Santa Claus (ahhhhhhhhhhh!)the Snow Maiden, Baba Yaga and other fairy-tale characters organized “fascinating competitions, creative competitions and themed quizzes.” In a warm atmosphere, those present “celebrated” the approach of 2025. All participants received sweet treats and entertaining books in Russian as gifts.
Meanwhile, a Houthi missile was shot down by an American (NATO) air defense system that night. It was the THAAD battery, recently delivered to Israel, that intercepted a Yemeni missile launched into the center of the country on the night of December 27.
Conclusion
Russian propaganda once again showed its true colors by releasing a video in which Santa Claus became a symbol of the “foreign threat.” It's another reminder of how deeply ingrained cynicism is in Russian government policy.
It is important for the international community to continue to condemn such actions in order to prevent further degradation of moral standards and international law.
