The Russian stand-up comedian and Kremlin propagandist Mikhail Zadornov, known for his anti-American and anti-Ukrainian position, made fun on the topic of Malasian airlines Boeing shot down last year by the Russian terrorist forces in the occupied part of the Donbass during one of his recent shows. Russian audience burst with laughter.

He joked: “Did you see they got silent? They ignore. They understood who violated all this. But the exact cause of Malaysian MH17 Boeing fall was given by Psaki. Malaysian Boeing, she said fell because it was heavier than air,” – said Zadornov, prompting the burst of laughter of Russians who attended the show.

How funny – Russian audience bursted with luaghter after the joke about Malaysian Boeing fall

This was a mockery on the memory of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17), a scheduled international passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that crashed on 17 July 2014 after being shot down by Russian terrorist forces, killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew on board. That is 298 dead, almost half of which are children, are a source of enormous Russian joy.

The words in Mikhail Zadornov satiric remark that was never said by the Speaker of the US Secretary of State Jen Psaki, actually belong to Andrei Deliev, the district prosecutor of Chusovoy district (Perm, Russia). In 2010 he explained this way the fall of Russian military air fighter MiG-31: “The plane went down because of the force of gravity as it heavier than air” . This explanation was among 50 funniest jokes of the year in Russia in 2010.

These joke of Mikhail Zadornov brought about a mass wave of indignation in social networks. Mikhail Zadornov was titled as moral freak and sociopath.

Such inhuman black humor is typical not only for Russia comedians, but for Vladimir Putin and Russian “elite” who treat with contempt human life. They consider their citizens as a dispensable cannon fodder in their quest to geopolitical leadership. We can recall the behavior of Vladimir Putin during Larry King Liveaired September 8, 2000. In reply to a question “What happened with the [Russian] submarine [‘Kursk’ which sank in the Barents Sea on August 12, 2000 leaving 118 sailors and officers dead.] Vladimir Putin said indifferently with almost a smile “It sunk.”

“What happened with the submarine?” – “It sunk.”

After the submarine ‘Kursk’ accident, President Vladimir Putin waited five days while vacationing on the Black Sea to comment; when friends and relatives of the dead unfurled a memorial in Moscow on the second anniversary of the disaster, not a single senior government official attended.
