New “Freedom of кussia” or a mimicry of the old prison of nations?

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the russian army, the Freedom of russia movement under the white-blue-white flag, which used to be the flag of the now-defunct Novgorod Republic, became very widespread.

Moreover, the participants of this movement directly indicate where this flag is taken from: “The flag of a renewed and free russia will originate in Novgorod, the city which became a stronghold of russian democracy.

That is, everything is quite usual: seizure of a foreign country, extermination of the indigenous population, appropriation of its history, symbols and customs …

When russian occupation troops seized Mariupol, the kremlin propagandists filmed a video about these events at the Azovstal plant. In Ukrainian. The reasoning was, “We’re taking this language as a spoils of war.

Имперский автозак уже издавна в цветах «нового» флага. Перекрашивать не придется.

Hiding behind the flag of the Novgorod Republic, the empire is once again trying to take the “spoils of war” from those who have been gone for centuries, before the eyes of the world. No, for the empire exterminated them. But you can’t just “wipe away the blood. Because history is not erased, no matter how much effort an empire puts into it…
