The Hammer and Sickle will be raised agian, they may deface the monument now, but it will be restored
How would this community see a restoration of hammer and sickle in Ukraine by Putin’s Russia?
Nostalgic nationalism
At least hammer and sickle has a present in Russia.
I don’t think anyone expect that. We expect that to happen in a workers revolution.
Doubt that’ll happen. The ruling class of Russian federation permits some small nostalgia for the USSR, as it is pretty difficult to disassociate the achievements of Russia from the Soviet Union. Make no mistake though, they’re trying. So while they are forced to tolerate communist imagery within Russia, I don’t see them restoring it outside. Too risky. People might start asking questions.
Of course I could be wrong, as I often am, and they will do it, and try to associate the Soviet era with national pride. There’s been calls to return the red banner as state flag, after all. But generally, I doubt it
Did they forget the one underneath?
Ukraine sure knows how to be grateful for their liberators. /s
It’s the Axis that the military dictatorship is treating like liberators.
True, and it’s a real shame.
The power of white supremacy as represented by NATO is so strong that countries like Ukraine, Poland, etc will side with their western European tormentors rather than even stay neutral.
I know there is a bit of coercion happening underneath but a decent percentage of it is free will.
