Sad Ded Moroz Spotted in Vladivostok After Reindeer Taken for Fee
In the center of Vladivostok, locals noticed an unusual pedestrian — a very sad Ded Moroz, who is apparently experiencing the end of the holiday season. Video of the winter wizard, who has lost his New Year«s mood somewhere, was published by the Telegram channel Svodka25.
«Apparently, his 2026 has started very sadly», — the author of the video suggested off-camera.
Social media users did not ignore the situation and immediately began sharing humorous comments.
«He has already paid 22% VAT», — Vladivostok resident with the nickname roche_daanis humorously reacted to the video.
«Nah, the reindeer were taken from grandpa for the recycling fee. He didn«t have enough money to pay», — joked Primorye region resident Dimitriy.
«Someone pour Ded Moroz a drink to chase away the sadness», — user Sasha humorously asked.
Some linked Ded Moroz«s sadness to personal circumstances and the woman walking behind him.
«That«s Snegurochka (the Snow Maiden) following him. She didn»t let him have a drink, the pest», — explained Valentina.
«No, his wife is following him. She took him away from Snegurochka», — suggested another version by Alka.
Other commentators linked the reasons for the sadness of the grandfather in the festive caftan to the economic realities of the city.
«Fares have gone up in Vladivostok! So he couldn«t leave», — declared a user with the nickname Просто Я (^.^).
Townspeople noted that even the magic of the holiday won«t save you if the work has ended and the holiday expenses have managed to ‘eat up’ the entire budget.
«Apparently, the holiday season has ended and with it the work of the winter wizard has gone», — the video was signed by the administrator of the Telegram channel Svodka25.
