Keep calm and don’t stop swinging.
That appeared to be the motto of this 9-year-old boy from the Russian Arctic who was filmed playing on a swing set while a massive fire raged in the background.
The video, viewed thousands of times across various social media platforms, is reminiscent of a widely shared meme featuring a cartoon dog saying “This is fine” inside a burning house.
“He just wanted to swing,” an unnamed relative of the boy, identified by his first name Dima, told the ura.ru regional news website.
Dima's safety wasn't at risk because the flames were wreaking havoc at a safe distance from the playground, emergency officials in Yamal-Nenets autonomous district were quoted as saying by the Govorit Moskva radio station.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
