The past seems to be present as new footage posted to social media shows a Russian armored personnel carrier flying the red banner of the Soviet Union during the invasion of Ukraine. The minute-long video from Russia’s Ministry of Defense, shows a column of tanks, armored personnel carriers, mobile missile launchers, and jeeps moving on a rural road in Ukraine. One BMP-2, an infantry fighting vehicle, seen early in the clip flies the communist scarlet red banner of the Soviet Union, the continent-spanning state that collapsed under political and economic unrest in 1991 and gave way to the modern-day Russian Federation. Though the Soviet Union is known in the U.S. for its harsh authoritarian regime, human rights violations, and poor economic conditions, there is a wave of nostalgia among many Russians for the global power of the old empire. The nostalgia for the USSR comes amid a surge in patriotism among some Russians, who have taken to sporting “Zs” in reference to the white markings that dotted Russian military vehicles at the outset of the invasion of Ukraine. “It is not a surprising development in light of Moscow’s intense propaganda effort to justify the war and generate support for it among Russia’s citizens,” Ian Brzezinski, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for Europe and NATO policy, told Task & Purpose. “Symbols have a power of their own and Moscow’s propagandists surely recognize this.” Perhaps the most important Russian citizen to buy into, and promote, the nostalgia of the Soviet Union is the one leading the country: President Vladimir Putin. A former agent of the KGB, the Soviet spy agency, Putin said in 2005 that the collapse of the Soviet Union was “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century” which is a strong statement considering the 20th century also hosted World War II and many other bloody nightmares. Putin has repeatedly used the past to try to enforce his present claim to power, noted journalist Shaun Walker in a profile of the president for History.com. [link to taskandpurpose.com (secure)] |

Putin began his career as a trusted, highly place member of the Soviet Communist Party. Communism is ingrained in him and that stench never washes out. He is now seeing an opportunity to revive his communist USSR. And it shows. |

Learn to read and think, you knee jerk stupid fuck. ALEXANDR DUGIN, top Russian philosopher, on the war in Ukraine *"... This is not a war with Ukraine. It's a comparison with globalism as a whole planetary phenomenon. It’s a comparison on all levels - geopolitical and ideological. Russia rejects everything in globalism - unipolarism, atlantism, on the one hand, and liberalism, anti-tradition, technocracy, Grand Reset in one word, on the other. It is clear that all European leaders are part of the Atlantic liberal elite. And we’re at war with this exactly. Here's their legitimate reaction. Russia is now excluded from the globalist networks. She has no choice anymore: either build her own world or disappear. Russia has set a path to building its world, its civilization. And now the first step has been done. But sovereign in the face of globalism can only be a large space, a continent-state, a civilization-state. No country can withstand long a complete disconnect. Russia is building a global resistance camp. His victory would be a victory for all the alternative forces, both the right and the left, and for all the people. As always, we are starting the most difficult and dangerous processes. But when we win, everybody takes advantage of it. That's how it should be. We are creating the assumptions for a real multipolarity. And those who are ready to kill us now will be the first to take advantage of our business tomorrow. I almost always write things that come true. This too will come true"............. And again: “What does it mean for Russia to break up with the West? It is the salvation. The modern West, where Rothschild, Soros, Schwab, Bill Gates and Zuckerberg triumph, is the most disgusting thing in the history of the world. It is no longer the West of Greek-Romanian Mediterranean culture, nor the Christian Middle Ages, nor the violent and contradictory 20th century. It's a cemetery of toxic waste of civilization, it's anti-civilization. And the sooner and more completely Russia is getting rid of it, the sooner it returns to its roots. For what? Christian, Greek-Roman, Mediterranean... - European... That is, to the roots common to the real West. These roots - theirs! - the modern West cut them off. And they stayed in Russia. Only now Eurasia is raising its head. Only now is liberalism in Russia losing its ground under its feet. Russia is not Western Europe. Russia followed the Greeks, Byzards and Eastern Christianity. And he's still following this road. Yeah with zigzag and deviations. Sometimes in a blind alley. But it's moving . Russia is out to defend Tradition values against the modern world. It's just that "revert against the modern world". Didn't you learn? And Europe must break up with the West, and the United States must also follow those who reject globalism. Then everyone will understand the meaning of the modern war in Ukraine. A lot of people in Ukraine understood this. But the terrible liberal-nazist rabid propaganda has left nothing to do in the minds of the Ukrainians. They will return to themselves and fight together with us for the kingdom of light, for tradition and a true European Christian identity. Ukrainians are our brothers. They were, they are and they will be. A break with the West is not a break with Europe. It's a breakdown with death, degeneration and suicide. It's the key to recovery. And Europe itself - the European peoples - should follow our example: topple the anti-national globalist council. And building a real European house, a European building, a European cathedral”. Whether or not you're willing to admit it, what Russia is doing now is just the first step in the complete and utter annihilation of the New World Order you hate so much. They will build a better world, and you're free to join them if you wish."* |
