The fall of USSR and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
the ussr didn’t fell, it was forcibly butchered
not pictured: millions of Ukrainian red army soldiers rolling in their graves
You probably could power an entire nation by connect them to a generator. That’s probably how hard they’re spinning right now.
specially when red army memorials from the gpw got vandalized
The height of banderite creativity.
Dumbasses can’t even build their own statue
Be greatful for that – the world is being spared a hundred-foot-tall swastika-waving doge.
disgusting revisionismImmense level brain injury, it will heal when that government is wiped off the map and Kiev taken back.
If the Russians were even half as petty and image obsessed as the Ukrainians are, they’d fire a missile into that trident.
I hope they fire that missile
Oh they’d spin it as a victory if that happened.
“Russian missile intercepted by statue’s shield and trident. Reports on the ground say that the missile was heading towards an orphange full of children, nurses, and puppies.”

A mindset that produced mount rushmore. Defacing sacred monuments.
Vanilla? Yea that checks out
Bruh the right will never cease to disappoint… Now imagine what all these right wing militants will do once asked to hand back their weapons to the Ukranian government after the war. They’ll definitely just comply and be good citizens. For sure.
Well, you don’t have to hand back weapons to the state if you become the state
It’s what happens when fascists roll through town and decide they can improve art.
This is so ugly, wth? Replacing the hammer and sickle with some random fascist symbol??? Who do they think they are?? They definitely aren’t aryans or whatever nazi bs they want to call themselves.
Historical revisionism.
revisionism
spectre of Wisconcom appears
Kinda embarrassing to admit, but idk what that trident symbol means, I know it’s Ukrainian, but that’s about it, what are the origins of the symbol? Edit: I’m still confused lol
It (supposedly) was the symbol of the Rurikovich dynasty that ruled Kievan Rus and Novgorod (and other feudal states in western Russia that I cannot recall) during the Middle Ages. Now it’s mostly used by Ukranian nationalists, banderites and other fascists. IIRC it was also used by anti-soviet reactionaries and fascists in Ukraine during the 20th century
Its not even a „Ukrainian“ symbol. Since for some reason they ignore that the Kievan Rus were not Ukrainians.
By the Rurikovich crest reason it’s more of an all Russian symbol since Russia as an unified state was created by Ivan III, Vasili III and Ivan IV, three consecutive rulers from the that dynasty.
i’m a partisan of the view these symbols are embellished Tamga adopted by the rurikids, though i’m sure modern nationalists would dispute their national symbol being from khazar cultural practice
Interesting! I had not heard that theory before. It’s possible that they adopted such a practice, they were “vikings” after all
It is from old coinage of Volodymyr the Great and got adopted in 1917 after a historian suggested it (about 1000 years later).
A lot about Ukrainian identity and symbols is very post-hoc.
Volodymyr the Great
“To assert our independence from Russia, we shall adopt the symbol of Vladimir the Great, Prince of Novgorod.”
Just don’t tell them where Novgorod isSeems like rightful Ukranian clay to me.
I’m completely numb to the symbolism, I thought we were making fun of how it’s off center
the well-built hammer and sickle being replaced by the shitty off-center trident is pretty ironic
They took off a hammer and sickle from the shield and replaced it with whatever that is
Banderites being butthurt about Soviet history
