(With apologies for the potato quality photos. Givebutter's a great platform, but it absolutely butchers photographs sometimes.)

Each week, we raffle off something cool and uniquely Ukrainian for the benefit of Ukraine's frontline defenders. Well, not this week. This week, we raffle off some russian stuff for the benefit of Ukraine's frontline defenders. Delicious, don't you think?

A russian jacket featuring a russia patch!

This jacket has been thoroughly cleaned. It's roughly size M and in very good condition, likely only worn once. The patch can be removed from the jacket.

We were absolutely speechless when we saw the brand: Mordor Tac. Apparently, the russians are openly proud to be called Orcs!

A mug celebrating the presidency of Boris Yeltsin!

"Yeltsin our president," it reads.

Honestly, this one just makes us laugh. It was found in a russian trench after Ukrainian soldiers evicted its occupants. Who carries this into battle? And why?

A used plate!

A russian's plate out of a plate carrier. Manufacture date: January 2022. Chilling, that.
Arcaist removed the (dirty and torn) cloth cover and covered the plate in transparent paint in order to conserve the look of it. He left the fabric only in the center, to preserve the manufacturer's sticker proving the plate's origin.

Proceeds from this raffle will support our mission to fulfill direct requests from frontline soldiers. This week, among other things, we're looking to help outfit the 5th Separate Assault Brigade with a new pickup truck after theirs was destroyed in a blast, and a thermal scope for the team who donated the plate.

As always, tickets for each item are $2 and you may buy as many as you wish. Please note, however, that Givebutter limits individual purchases to batches no larger than 10.

Good luck!

Please note

Though the event description mentions a livestream, there will be none. And while we do deeply appreciate those of you who choose to donate as well as buying raffle tickets, we want to make it clear that donations are not required to enter the raffle.

$2 Tuesday Raffle: Loot from russians!

Who carries a Yeltsin mug into a trench?
