And one ring to rule them all: in Russia they gave the participants of the summit of the CIS countries rings, in which they saw an analogy with Mordor

Representatives of nine CIS countries at an informal summit in St. Petersburg were presented with "club rings" with New Year's greetings, in which Internet users saw a clear reference to The Lord of the Rings.

Yes, online published photographs of the rings and the names of the people to whom they were presented.

In the very center of the ring is the emblem of the CIS, inside it says "Happy New Year 2023". It also indicates the name of the state in which the summit was held - Russia. Judging by the photo, the rings can be made of white and yellow gold.

After presenting the gifts, only the President of Belarus immediately put on the ring Alexander Lukashenko.

Netizens did not ignore such an unusual gift. So, there was a parallel with the novel John Tolkien "Lord of the Rings".

“Three - to the Elven Lords in the substellar limit;
Seven - for the dwarves reigning in the piedmont expanse;
Nine - to mortals, whose term and destiny are verified,
And One - to the Lord on the black throne ".

Recall that, according to the text of the work, these rings were forged by the lord of Mordor Sauron. Rings were distributed to kings to instill in them a thirst for power, turn them to evil and enslave. Over time, these kings became the ghosts of the ring - the Nazgul.

The network noted that the analogy with Mordor has never been so accurate.

They even joked that Putin personally forged rings in the bowels of Klyuchevskaya Sopka, a volcano in Kamchatka.

The SBU reacted to the situation: they assured that the rings would not help to defeat Ukraine.

“We have read Tolkien and we have only bad news for him”- Wrote in the security service.

Let us recall that the traditional informal meeting of the CIS heads of state took place on December 26-27 in St. Petersburg.

We also wrote about who gave an explosive gift to the chief commandant of the Polish police, and told that According to Putin, Russia seeks to end the war with strikes on Ukrainian cities.
