[email protected] removed my post, without any sort of notification, which is lame and annoying.

Here is the original text, copied verbatim:

Something is going on with Samsung TV's voice assistant

My TV has suddenly started to interpret voice commands as if I was speaking Russian. Users on Samsungs community forum are reporting the same issue. There are users on Reddit who are also reporting the same issue.

A quick google search shows that this is worldwide, and that it started somewhere between 3-5 days ago.

What the hell is going on, Samsung?

(I am not seeking tech support or advice, just raising awareness to what is hopefully a benign problem.)

Any voice command you give will henceforward be interpreted as volunteering for the Pokrovsk front.
