The fall of USSR and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
- the ussr didn't fell, it was forcibly butchered
Historical revisionism.
- revisionism
  spectre of Wisconcom appears
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
It's what happens when fascists roll through town and decide they can improve art.
If the Russians were even half as petty and image obsessed as the Ukrainians are, they'd fire a missile into that trident.
- 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."
- I hope they fire that missile
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
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
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.
It will be reverted when the Russians roll into Kiev, so before the year ends
- I doubt that Russians will roll that far or have the ability to destroy all Ukro forces.
  
  Even if they don’t, it is certain that Ukraine will get a new Russian-aligned government
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.
  
  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
- 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."
A mindset that produced mount rushmore. Defacing sacred monuments.
- Back before CIV went WOKE! Bring back real men!11!1!
  
  Vanilla? Yea that checks out
  
  No joke
Banderites being butthurt about Soviet history
disgusting revisionism
Mckraine
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.
Just looking at the thumbnail, I kind of thought it was Touchdown Jesus/Terminator Jesus
something to twist your panties in a wad?
- dae feeemales bad and being compared to feeemale things means ur bad top kek amirite
