Putin's crazy propaganda
Video: Russia shoots Santa Claus out of the sky
Russian propaganda channels have published a video in which air defense shoots down a Santa Claus over Moscow. "We don't need anything foreign in our skies," says Father Frost to a Russian soldier.

Santa Claus appears in the sky and wants to hand out presents, including toy rockets with the NATO logo. He wears red clothes, as in the Western tradition, and holds a Coke can in his hand - a well-known symbol of Western culture.
Santa Claus vs. Father Frost
Then he is shot down by a Russian missile. The video switches to an air defense center, where Santa's Russian counterpart, Father Frost, celebrates the shoot-down. He declares: "We don't need anything foreign in our skies." The video ends with the message: "Happy New Year, Russians!"
Link to the plane crash in Kazakhstan
The publication of the video comes at a particularly sensitive time. It was only on December 25 that a passenger plane crashed in Kazakhstan, killing 38 people. The Azerbaijan Airlines plane with 67 passengers was originally on its way from the Azerbaijani capital of Baku to Grozny in Chechnya, but then flew towards Aktau in Kazakhstan, where it crashed and burst into flames.
Several sources reported that the plane was shot down by a Russian air defense system (Pantsir-S). Without taking direct responsibility for the crash, Russian President Vladimir Putin has already apologized for the incident. Russian air defenses had been active when the plane attempted to land in Grozny, Russia, Putin said in a telephone conversation with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev on Saturday. However, he did not comment explicitly on whether Russian air defense missiles hit the plane.
