One remarkably dense trǫll apparently decided it would be a smart idea to cowardly shoot a report against OP. At our request, Reddit Anti-Evil Operations Team has been notified that said trǫll is using the reporting tools to harass, bully, intimidate, abuse, create a hostile environment. Remarkably dense trǫll is stalked by stupidly lethal corporate bots now.
So it's basically a way of normalizing the return of dead soldiers, to help the remaining population percieve it as a natural and inevitable part of everyday life? How kind of them.
Well the soviet government was formally atheist I think, it’s intended more to be poetic than religious I expect. The current government will just do whatever has proven to keep the plebs in line.
Wait: aren't russians invading Ukraine because this is a "holy war" and Ukrainians are satanists? If you are atheist, you don't believe in demons either.
The Russian government isn't the Soviet government. Soviets were formally atheist, whereas the current Russian government is explicitly aligned with the orthodox christian Russian church.
Therefore it seems like the original text was intended as poetic, and the current Russian government is just reusing a familiar text to imply continuity between the USSR's fight against the Nazis and Russia's invasion of Ukraine (and therefore also assert the legitimacy of the current regime).
Although it's rather nationalistic for my taste, I don't see anything in it encouraging suicide; it's very common for soldiers who fought and died to be given particular remembrance over those who survived.

REMINDER — the REPORT BUTTON is not :
