There was also a bit earlier where the guy from Russian Scrubs said Russia was fighting a "holy war" and explained why it was the Russian version of jihad but I was too gobsmacked to record that part

Holy War?

Wait, Putin is actually Taboritsky? Time to verify your clock...

Spoiler!

For those who don't get it, there's a mod for Hearts of Iron IV called The New Order: Last Days of the Third Reich, where the Axis won WW2 but quickly fell apart afterwards. Russia also fell aprt into dozens of warlord states. Taboritsky is one of the possible unifiers, and his Holy Russian Empire is an absolute hellhole of bleakness.

Also, this song comes originally from a Soviet children's cartoon...
