Moment Russia ‘shoots down Western SANTA’ as Putin’s sick propaganda plunges new depths after blowing jet out of the sky VLADIMIR Putin's propaganda machine has plunged to sick new depths after releasing a bizarre video appearing to kill a Western version of Santa.
The social media video from Putin's problematic propaganda machine features a traditional version of St Nick in his sleigh flying above a Russian Christmas market.
Footage shows a jolly Father Christmas soaring over the Kremlin in his sleigh - before being blasted out of the sky in a fiery Russian explosion.
The Christmas Day disaster saw the aircraft erupt into a fireball amid reports that it was shot down by a Russian anti-aircraft missile.
Moments later a giant rocket is sent hurtling at the reindeer pulling the sleigh as a huge fireball blast erupts.
