it’s not like modern Russia particularly objects to the idea
Here is correction for you: it’s not like Putin objects to the image of empire.
But he don’t want everything else that came with USSR like good schools, good hospitals, good wages for teachers and doctors, housing for everyone. Because money spent on anything above is money not spent on his yacht.
I think people tend to confuse Russian irredentism with wanting to bring back communism when all they really want is the USSR’s borders. Which were, mind you, largely the Russian Empire’s borders.
If the Russian oligarchy is going to force a return to their roots I feel like they’d just bring back the monarchy.
There certainly is a socialist movement in Russia that wouldn’t mind returning to a socialist state but there are very few who actually want to return to a totalitarian one, and if it’s not totalitarian it’s not really what people mean by the USSR, is it?
You know who Ukraine is at war with don’t you? Obviously the flag is representing them. Surprised I needed to spell it out, it was already drawn in crayons for you.
did china shoot children recently?
I dont get it.
i think its meant to be a ussr flag
russia is not close to being the ussr since the early 90s though
He didn’t say they were.
He said the Russian flag is apparently based on the Soviet flag.
Have you seen the Russian Federation flag?
Hint: it’d be hard to get them confused.
they are completely different flags
Yes…
That’s the point.
USSR was 15 countries including Ukraine.
It’s weird how people across the political spectrum think they’re still the USSR
TBF, it’s not like modern Russia particularly objects to the idea

It very much does.

I was talking more about wanting the prestige back
There’s a lot of context clues, do we need to start making remedial memes for the slow kids?
the context clue being…? ukraine is at war with china now?

russian flag is not red. it hasnt been for 3 decades, i assume you are aware of it?
removed by mod
if they meant to represent russia why use the chinese flag?
are you the kind of people this piece of propaganda aimed for?
Because nobody cares. Slava Ukraini. Fuck Russia.

I mean, yes, definitely they have. But they were probably Uyghurs or something so sympathizers don’t mind.
