(Radio Free Europe) Russian postal officials are not amused by the jokes making the rounds online about their uniforms. This week, Russian-language bloggers were having fun comparing the uniforms — black with silver finish on the lapels, shoulder insignia, and hats — to those of Nazi SS officers. The meme was particularly popular among Ukrainian boggers and social media users.
“At the request of the veterans of the Russian Post, I would like to underline the insulting nature of comparing the attire of postal workers with the Nazi uniform,” Vadim Nosov, director of the post office’s media projects department, told RIA Novosti.
