Russian Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut urged people to go to church and pray for rain as the persistent lack of precipitation puts the sowing of winter wheat at risk.

    That’s their idea, pray for rain? How far they have fallen. Old Slavs knew that only human sacrifice helps bring rain

        Defenestration is a sacrifice to protestant God. Not Slavic or even orthodox. No wonder they aren’t seeing results.

      I guess the 600,000 sacrifices in Ukraine don’t count since they were sacrificed for greed and blind nationalism instead of rain.

        No, that’s not nearly enough, tell them they need to sacrifice another 10m but they’ll have perfect crop yields.

        Just tell them they have to be sacrificed on the Russian soil in question.

    Any fool know it has to be ‘thoughts and prayers’, not just ‘prayers’. Without the ‘thoughts’ you are just an idiot mumbling to yourself like a kid wishing for toys from Santa Claus
