Everyone knows that the ultimate protest is to breed an animal such that its coloration is vaguely reminiscent of your flag.

lmao at seeing them together but the soviet flag and the imperial tricolour being used together isn't shocking it all. The soviet flag has been used as an emblem of russian nationalism with deniability for decades upon decades now. Like to before the USSR fell. It's got nothing to do with communism or monarchism. Flag(ish) chat: my wife has these tattooed on her ribcage and they are way more badass than a boring ol red flag, no I am not biased:   Also some good rear end tattoo work. USSR and Kazakh SSR emblems.  This on her thigh which is honestly the best emblem of the three. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Apr 10, 2022 |

I'm surprised theres still supporters of the [url='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mladorossi']Union of Mladorossi[/url], an actual soviet-tsarist group from the Russian Revolution / Civil War era. Have a different, a more royalist, insignia though (which makes sense since they were originally anticommunist.

You are overthinking it, imo, and the thought process behind the patch didn't go further than "Imperial Russia stronk! Soviet Russia stronk! Make flag of both to show Russia most stronk of all!"

More weird flag stuff. https://twitter.com/Jack_Mrgln/status/1515787920505987076 See that thing in the background? Sure makes you think Confederate flag. Well, that apparently is a flag that has been adopted by some of the separatists in Donbass as the flag of "Novorossiya" (or "New Russia", a name that Russia had for the area from way back in the day when the Russian Empire first established its dominion over the area).  Coincidence? Maybe. A blue X on white is an old Russian symbol, and a red flag is associated with Russia. Still, I wonder. It's not like they'd be totally unaware of it. I've often been surprised at how much Europeans are acutely aware of American pop culture. It'd be no weirder than just throwing around some weird german neonazi symbol. https://twitter.com/Jack_Mrgln/status/1515787148510875649 There's a Moscow Times article where they draw the same comparison, although the top of that they lead with a guy who is clearly using the Arkansas flag. Weird. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2014/06/09/ukrainian-rebels-channel-us-confederates-a36318

Sympathy for the Soviet Union in America I think is much smaller offline (although even then, more common than I would've expected), but a lot of it seems to be done mainly out of contrarianism towards the idea of "evil America". Not that it makes much of a difference when they go out of their way to shield post-communist Russia for its crimes as well. I do still have the impression that other countries are a lot more aware of American pop culture than we are of them just from the sheer amount of it I see reflected back. Like here's the Red Army Choir singing an American folk song about debt bondage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI9KBLb_8ro Count Roland posted:Is the change a popular measure? It must be such a hassle to change alphabets that I have a hard time imagining regular people being onboard, whatever the justification. It happens. Mongolia is undergoing its own process to revive its old writing system in the government alongside Cyrillic. Turkey adopted the latin alphabet in the 30s to bring itself closer to Europe. Less dangerous than switching the side of the road people drive on I guess. Possibly nowadays there's also a fair amount of people who have latin alphabet keyboards already as well from how dominant english programming languages are around the world.

Our Ukrainian/Russian development team switch between Cyrillic and Latin as far as I can tell. I think the leading role of English everywhere makes changing to Latin a bit less extreme than other changes. The Turkish example did produce a bunch of functionally illiterate adults for a while, because they could only read the Arabic script, which was no longer used.

One of the popular contrarian things to post on 4chan in the 00s was Soviet anything including the Soviet anthem as a troll. Similar to how Nazi stuff would get posted, but I guess seen as less generally offensive or more directly targeting Americans.

Russia has since re-adopted it as the anthem again with yet another new set of lyrics because the Yeltsin-era anthem was trash (and because Putin wanted to invoke Soviet nostalgia)

So here's James Hong partying down. https://twitter.com/Variety/status/1524119605429497857 There's a couple triangular flags in the background, the only one I can figure out is I think one guy is waving a Qin flag.  Then there's a flag in the foreground that I think is from some corporate group, and another flag that doesn't fully unfurl that's got like a red circle with a character in the middle? Anyone know what those are? Also for some balance, here's the triangular flag of Hong's original homeland.
