Amid the horrors contained within videos of the war in Ukraine there are some glimmers of almost comic hope. An unlikely ally has emerged from clips shared by Ukrainians on social media which show Geese flapping in the faces of Russian military, flying into enemy tanks and even marching, well, waddling, alongside Ukrainian soldiers. As a result Russian propaganda has spread news bizarrely claiming Ukraine is using genetically modified birds.
It is these geese — or gussi — that have provided the inspiration for and name of a fashion brand created by popstars Sonya and Anya Kupriienko: otherwise known as The Bloom Twins.
