Russians have started selling candles with the scent of Putin.
On the Russian marketplace Wildberries, aromatic candles with the scent of Vladimir Putin have appeared. Now available are options such as 'Putin Aroma Black Vanilla' and 'Putin Aroma Dark Amber.' These candles, made in Russia, cost 546 rubles each and burn for about 25 minutes. The manufacturer claims that the wooden wick of the candles mimics the sound of a crackling fireplace, and their aroma is felt half an hour after lighting.
The candles with the scent of Putin, as indicated, are intended for relaxation, stress relief, mood enhancement, or creating a romantic atmosphere. Additionally, the marketplace also offers candles with names like 'Russia: Symbolism of the Empire of the Russian Federation,' 'Support Our! Aroma' with Z-symbolism, 'Patriotism Aroma' featuring images of Russian soldiers against the backdrop of destroyed Ukrainian cities, and 'Aesthetic of Russia Aroma' with the scent of Magnifiёcly Duba. It is worth recalling that earlier in Russia, a court prohibited memes featuring Putin that compare him to Hitler.
The news about aromatic candles with the scent of President Putin being sold on the Russian marketplace is unexpected and intriguing. This is a strange way to express support or patriotism, which may provoke various reactions in society and highlight the peculiarities of Russia's political culture.
