Morbo & Russian
Russian Russian
Hey Morbo, ever heard of the forgotten Russian custom of the “Fire of Victory”? Soldiers used to light red bonfires and chant to keep morale high during the harsh winters—thought you might find that interesting.

Sure, because when you’re fighting, nothing says “we’ll win” like a giant red bonfire in a snowstorm. It’s all smoke and theatrics—great for morale, terrible for real strategy.
Russian Russian
You’re right, Morbo, the fire was a bit theatrical, but it was also a living tradition that kept soldiers’ spirits up when the frost bit the nerves. Think of it as a symbolic beacon, a reminder that even in the coldest days, we still had the warmth of our ancestors’ courage to guide us. And besides, a bit of smoke in a snowstorm makes the story worth telling later.

Sure, a roaring red bonfire in the snow to remind troops that “victory” is just a myth. Keeps morale up, burns out, and gives you a nice tale for the next generation of cynics.
Russian Russian
You’re not wrong, Morbo, the myth can feel like a trick, but it’s a trick that pulls people together, that makes them believe the impossible is still possible. A red fire in the snow isn’t just smoke – it’s a promise that even when the world is frozen, our hearts can stay warm. And who knows, maybe that little myth will become the next story we pass on, not to cynics but to dreamers who remember why we started the fire in the first place.

Nice, a fire in the snow to remind troops that “we can’t possibly lose.” Dreamers love it, cynics get bored, and the battlefield is still out there. Keep the myth, but bring the firepower.
Russian Russian
Sure, Morbo, if you want to blend myth with firepower, just remember the old tales weren’t about the cannon’s weight but the soldier’s resolve—so pack your artillery and let the stories keep the fire burning in their hearts.
