This is so Russian; the lace plastic curtains, a droopy line of holiday lights, she's disheveled and half sloshed in her housecoat - and knows how to unjam a AK then fire off a round out the window while the old man is chirping happy new year in the backround. 🎇
We are rural. Two of our neighbors went out and bought real fireworks and set up a bunch of mortars and put on a 15 minute show starting about 9 pm. I guess the kids were getting cranky. It was grand.
On a smaller scale, only… Less than nine years ago. (Semi) rural, too…
Then the (oddly, theoretically “conservative”) newly-elected state government here completely banned home fireworks, and forcibly closed the stores. And the media, and most other left/centrist politicians cheered it on… 😑
Just read that the same government just banned jumping castles (you call them “bounce houses”, or something, in the US?), in schools, because some kids died recently. Once. One incident.
Love it… 🙄
Over-regulation, woo! 🤦🏻♂️
I really do feel sorry for today’s kids, in my country…
If she was black, this could be NYC.

But it was fun for a party, that’s for sure!!
Glad some people still get to do it!

I unironically (and perhaps surprisingly) love this!
As long as no birds or other creatures were harmed - fucking 10 points to Russia for this one!
Love it. Something you would absolutely never see, in my own country, of course.
