“Liberated area” The first thing they do is start suppressing the “liberated” communists.
“Genocidal hammer and sickle” While overlooking and hiding actual genocidal symbols from the public eye.
These people are so historically revisionist and hypocritical that it hurts.
actual genocidal symbols
If you deny all the genocides, there weren’t any genocidal symbols. Checkmate tankies
When Russia wins this, they should hold a victory parade where they throw all the Neo-Nazi and Nazi insignia they’ve captured into a big pile, like they did for the WW2 parade. Then encase it in glass and leave it there for the rest of time. Let the world see how based Ukraine is.
What does Sergej mean by “former Russia?”
kursk occupied by Nazis
That is incredibly fucked. Just because it is occupied doesn’t mean it’s no longer a part of Russia, I am also aware that logic is not needed here but still.
Yeah kursk has seen widespread looting and abrupt shooting on civilians. Ukrainian telegrams channels are praising the infrastructure of villages though.
Is this a 45 years old using “based”?
He has to appeal to his target audience

Please note this is a liberal paper (from a series called the Illiberal Studies) so the findings come from that perspective (ie the sentiment is one of mistakes by the west as opposed to a deliberate strategy of imperialism supporting fascists. Try to search as a litmus test, for example, phrases alluding to “Operation Gladio”, “proxy war”, or “dependancy theory” appearing anywhere in this paper.)
MSM is disingenuous
Not to rain on your parade, but isn’t it likely that he is going to a war zone, wants a helmet, and that was the only helmet available?
This post smells like a Russian sock puppet.
Come on, this has to be a bit.
“The only helmet available was a helmet covered in swastikas and murals of genocide! I had to wear it! It was all they had! Even though America gave us 15 billion+ dollars and Europe even more!”
Like really? Like two seconds of thinking. TWO SECONDS.

ngl , I am fine with it . Its better be a Ruski sock puppet than western zionists one
Even if that’s true, what exactly do you think the implication of the military providing people with helmets bearing ss insignia is? Unless you’re saying that these are leftover helmets from WWII, then it’s not better if this was the helmet he was provided
Bwahahahahahahaha
