I found some suspicious news - nothing special, it ain't even related to Ukraine.


Seems fake-y.

If I didn't know those were for Russias postal service, I'd have thought that it was some sort of military getup, or maybe airline.

What was their old uniform?

They should put a double lightning emblem on those uniforms as a symbol of fast delivery.

... and a skull. Everyone likes a happy skull on a person in uniform who shows up with a special package.

This is the whole difference between what you are implying and Russian post. The latter doesn't deliver quickly.

I see two images, a man with a baby and a woman, neither pluralized.  Hotlinking problem?

The Russian postal service is killing Jews and partisans?

It generally tortures civillians with extraordinary waiting times. Jews and partisans are probably just... dying to get their letters

No, it just waits for them to die of other causes before delivering their parcels.

Does Russian Post handle delivery of pensions? All the living partisans are retirees, and those generally don't handle well delayed arrival of their meds money.

Nope, not really. Pensions are the domain of the central bank, as far as I know.

EDIT: That really is a fake. The outfits in question are the parade uniforms for the upper directors of the RPS and have been in use for 4 years already. They also tend to look nothing like the Kriegsmarine/SS uniforms outside of those 2 pictures with the cleavage-toting woman and the guy in hat embracing his daughter.

To deliver pensions in distant villages and places alike, Russian Post is used.

You have parade uniforms for the Russian Postal Service? Do they parade on the Red Square during national holidays, a bag of letter on their shoulders?
