The Diocese of Bryansk, in reporting on the trip to the stormtroopers, called them "meat" 18+. This material (information) is produced, distributed and (or) sent by a foreign agent of the Internet publication "NOVAYA GAZETA" or concerns the activities of a foreign agent of the online publication "NOVAYA GAZETA". The media drew attention to the report of the Bryansk Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church about the trip of the head of its military department, priest Konstantin Vasiliev, to the location of the assault unit of the Russian forces "North". "The stormtroopers, or "meat" as they are also called, are a symbol of perseverance, self-sacrifice and unbending will. They go where others are afraid to even look. They pave the way to victory, leaving behind traces of acts of heroism and courage," - says on the website and social networks of the diocese. Judging by the publication, during his trip Vasiliev gave communion to those who wanted and made a prayer "for granting victory to the Russian army". The diocese also thanked the parishioners for their donations and recalled the ongoing aid collection for the Russian military. Anthropologist Alexandra Archipova*, who studies the language of the Northern Military District, noted that "meat" is one of the most common words in soldiers' complaints about their service conditions and duties. "I became flesh. It's just such a stable phrase," she explained. *Russian authorities consider him a "foreign agent."
