https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease)

Kuru is a rare, incurable, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that was formerly common among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. It is a prion disease which leads to tremors and loss of coordination from neurodegeneration. The term kúru means "trembling" and comes from the Fore word kuria or guria ("to shake").[3][4] It is also known as "laughing sickness" due to abnormal bursts of laughter from the patients.

It was spread among the Fore people via funerary cannibalism.

Mad cow for people.

Is this counter-propaganda?

Interesting that a Ukrainian source is claiming cannibalism on the Russian side after an article showing Ukrainian soldiers starved at their posts for months because the Ukrainian army is so short-staffed that they can’t reliably rotate their soldiers.

The Russian famine of 1921–1922, also known as the Povolzhye famine (Russian: Голод в Поволжье 'Volga region famine'), was a severe famine in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic that began early in the spring of 1921 and lasted until 1922. The famine resulted from the combined effects of severe drought,[1] the continued effects of World War I, economic disturbance from the Russian Revolution, the Russian Civil War, and failures in the government policy of war communism (especially prodrazvyorstka). It was exacerbated by rail systems that could not distribute food efficiently.

The famine killed an estimated five million people and primarily affected the Volga and Ural River regions.[2] Many of the starving resorted to cannibalism.[3][4][5]

I've played enough DayZ to know you just gotta eat a bit of charcoal and you'll be fine to continue consuming your fellow comrade.

If they were already dead I don’t have a problem with it. If you’re starving you gotta do what you gotta do.

I mean common. Who in war isn't a little tempted by a bit of man meat.

"Food shortages? Nah, we just like it"

Russian troops, probably.

I bet they prepared it with Russian dressing.
