F**k war... oh, I mean f**k vobla!
🕑 Added 2022-10-15 03:09:35 +0000 UTCIt's a new Russian meme based on the recent news.
The point is that the Russian State Duma adopted the repressive law on discrediting of the Russian army in March of this year and censored all independent media. We can't speak the truth about the current events, can't say "No war!" or "Peace to the World!". We can't touch and tear "Z" and "V" symbols (St George's ribbons too), don't have the right to wear clothes (or jewelry) of blue-yellow color and listening Ukrainian songs because that's illegal now. Even the single-person picket with a piece of clean paper is considered a discredit of the Russian army. Just... don't ask, because we also don't know wtf. You can find all these thousands of cases in the news reports. The police torture people, fine them on 500$-850$ (the average monthly salary of Russian citizen) and send to prison all who just said "I am against war". I'm not exaggerating. It's true.
BUT
Rarely happens something good... and stupid. A woman from Tyumen drew the phrase "Нет в***е" with chalk on the pavement and she was summoned to court. "Нет в***е" - this is the encrypted phrase "Нет войне" (No war), but that smart woman was able to prove that she meant "Нет вобле" (No vobla/roach fish). She said "I dislike this species of fish", police didn't refute this statement aaaaand... court closed the case "in the absence of an administrative offence". Thus was born a meme where the word "вобла"(vobla/roach fish) became an encrypted version of the word "война"(war).
We're living in a terrifying alternate reality but we're trying to be ironic about some cases like this one. This helps to not go crazy.
