My grandfather always said "cremate me in a cardboard box".

Turns out there are some pretty strict limits to acceptable cardboard boxes, we ended up getting a 500 euro cardboard box. The cheapest wooden one was 470.

Somehow, I doubt these Russian boxes are anywhere near that.

Fertilizer would be much better for everyone involved. We could always grow more sunflowers.

If you don’t die killing your commanders, then you died poorly.

I'm genuinely surprised that the Russians are even bothering to recover their dead let alone provide a funeral.
