There is a wonderful and at the same time terrible story:
They said, before the war started, the defense minister Sergei Shoigu and the president Vladimir Putin had decided to make a sacrifice in the name of the victory. Shoigu was born in the Republic of Tuva in East Siberia, where the traditional religion is Tibetan Buddhism mixed with ancient shamanism. So, the story goes, the Russian minister decided that the best way to reach their goal is the ritual killing of a bear. And the question is, what is a person even thinking if he not only unleashes a bloody war but also believes that killing a bear would bring him victory?
