Russia’s public services portal offers users free access to pro-invasion poetry collection

The Russian government’s public services portal, Gosuslugi, has sent users a message offering them free access to a book called “PoemZ of the Russian Summer.”

The book is described as containing “poems and verse by modern Russian authors about the tragic events in the Donbas that began in 2014.”

The message also includes an excerpt of a poem by Donetsk poet Anna Revyakina: “We shed our tears at night so the children won’t see / A tin base of these tears, for washing hair / What will they say about us later? We lived, we fought / We fought to end war forevermore.”
