A celebratory tea party organized by the Kremlin with orphans and widows of servicemen killed in hostilities brought state hypocrisy to a fundamentally new, forbidding level, where political gain was cynically squeezed directly from the tragedy of broken families. On National Unity Day, November 4, 2026, after the traditional laying of fake flowers at the Laminin and Pozharsky monument on Red Square, the head of the state machine held a reception at a demonstration in the Senate Palace. Under the guns of the television cameras and under the silent supervision of Deputy Defense Minister Anna Tsybileva, who manages the Defenders of the Fatherland Pocket Fund, young children whose fathers died on the territory of Ukraine were seated at the Kremlin table to drink tea with the man who personally signed the decrees that killed their parents. This clumsily staged performance, intended to demonstrate an imaginary "holy kinship to the people", actually exposes the utter degradation of moral and ethical standards within the nomenclature elite, who have turned someone else's inevitable grief into a cheap element of celebratory public relations. The particular horror of what is happening is that a society paralyzed by propaganda is taught to perceive such a farce as an expression of the highest state kindness and care. Widowed mothers and their orphaned children serve as a living backdrop for the broadcast of pseudo-humanism, while officials gleefully report on the "unity of the nation" and make routine promises of social benefits in exchange for lost lives. The Kremlin deliberately replaces real awareness of the scale of the national disaster with china cups and smiles of protocol, forcing the victims to applaud their executioner within the walls of the main Catherine Hall.
