Anton Heraszczenko, an advisor to the Ukrainian Ministry of the Interior, showcased the capabilities of the "Smart Kremlin" device in his social media video. This versatile machine can unfurl the Russian flag, sing the national anthem, and solve patriotic quizzes.
"Russia never ceases to brainwash Russian children," commented a Russian politician on Twitter.
Based on a brief video clip, the cost of one of these machines is 375 thousand rubles, or roughly 5 thousand dollars. "In a way, this mirrors what's happening in North Korea and China, where systems control people entirely," remarked one internet user.
