Russian news feeds are full of reports of an unexpected invasion of owls in Nizhny Novgorod and some other temporarily occupied regions of the so-called Russian Federation.
For example, the propaganda outlet RIA Novosti reports that there are so many owls that they are crashing through the windows of high-rise buildings.
And the radical pro-Putin publication Tsargrad writes that this is because it is easier for birds to find food in cities in winter.
It is also reported that the last time such an invasion took place was 33 years ago, just before the collapse of the USSR.
And the fear of an invasion may also be related to the fact that the owl is a symbol of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, whose head was declared “Russia’s enemy number 1” after the events on the Crimean bridge.
