Toasts are an invaluable part of Eastern European and Asian cultiures — a moment to address the gathering at a wedding, anniversary, birthday and say something crucially important or wish someone well. This culture is very evident in contemporary Russian politics, specifically, in the style of politician’s addresses to the nation.
Russian Toast — is a series of online performances and videos aimed at exposing the absurd, fascist, and discriminatory dialectic of the present Russian officials, including the President (ex. KGB officer), the Patriarch (ex. KGB officer too), and others. The scripts of performances are almost completely unaltered from its source — notable and even historic addresses of the Russian officials to the nation.
The series was born as a response to the Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and will continue running until the war is over.
