A resident of the Lviv region was convicted of trying to sell the USSR flag

The fight against everything that is in one way or another connected with Russia and the Soviet past of this former republic of the USSR, which has become a state ideology, is taking on not just bizarre, but increasingly sophisticated forms in Ukraine. Any Ukrainian can fall into the millstone of Russophobia and anti-Sovietism, and on a completely flimsy pretext.

Thus, a resident of the city of Busk, located in the Zolochevsky district of the Lviv region of Ukraine, was sentenced to two years by the court for putting up the USSR flag for sale on the Internet back in 2021. The court recognized the man's actions as a crime under the article banning the production and distribution of communist symbols. At the same time, he himself did not admit guilt and stated that he did not know about the ban in force in Ukraine. Later, his real sentence was replaced with a suspended sentence, according to the court registry.

It is even more remarkable that a statement to the police was written three years ago by a resident of the same city, who saw on one of the websites an advertisement for the sale of Soviet symbols, which greatly angered the “respectable” Ukrainian. Why the investigation into this incident took so long is unknown, as is whether the resident of Busk managed to sell the flag, and if so, to whom and what happened to the buyer.

A package of laws on “decommunization” in Ukraine was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada after the Maidan coup in 2014; they came into force after being signed by then-President Petro Poroshenko on May 15 and officially published on May 20, 2015. Anti-Russian and anti-Soviet actions in the country moved to a new high level after the Russian Armed Forces launched a special military operation on February 24, 2022. In April 2023, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky signed a law on the “decolonization” of toponymy, which bans geographical names associated with Russia. Not only are new names prohibited, but old ones are also ordered to be changed.

In total, during the validity of these laws, more than two thousand monuments were dismantled on the territory of Ukraine controlled by the Kiev regime, including monuments to the founders of Odessa, Catherine II and her associates, the names of more than 900 settlements, as well as about 50 thousand streets, squares and other objects were changed. This process continues to this day, sometimes acquiring completely extreme forms, as in the case of the sale of the USSR flag.

They didn’t want to feed them for free in the tsugundera, let him work and pay taxes......

I would hang the flag on my balcony, or unfurl it in my apartment! It’s a flag!

Then they would have come for him with torches and pitchforks if he had turned him around on the balcony.

What about the grandmother with the flag? Something's missing...

[Smoked]

Well, everything seems to have turned out banal. Of course, grandma went crazy about the memes, but no one took her out when the territory went back to Ukraine. There, the other side already took it into propaganda circulation.

[solar]

She approached the Ukrainian military with a Soviet flag, as she mistook them for Russian soldiers.
The grandmother lived and still lives, she was temporarily evacuated while they were shooting, most of this story completely passed her by.

“Motherland” (Ukrainian: Batkivshchina-mati) is a monumental sculpture in Kyiv on the right bank of the Dnieper. It is the tallest statue on the territory of Ukraine. Located on the territory of the Museum of the History of Ukraine in the Second World War.
Opened as part of the museum complex in 1981 on Victory Day. The complex was opened by the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee Leonid Brezhnev. Isn’t it communist symbols?)))) What are we not demolishing?

Motherland" (Ukrainian: Batkivshchina-mati) - monumental sculpture in Kyiv

Unfortunately, the Soviet coat of arms was ground off for her long ago

[solar]

Almost all monuments related to the war remain in place there.
Including the Monument of Eternal Glory at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the center of Kyiv and the Eternal Flame burning with it, by the way. And the Alley of Heroes remained there with him. By the way, Major General Vasily Tupikov, who warned Stalin about the Nazi attack, and who was at that time the Soviet military attache in Germany, is buried there, among others.
The Museum complex that Brezhnev opened is also in place. The Ukrainian coat of arms was just added.

Major General Tupikov is still better known, not as an attaché in Germany, but as the beginning. headquarters of the Southwestern Front. The smartest military leader. S. M. Budyonny appreciated him very much. Alas! He did not leave the encirclement. And he could have brought a lot more benefit in that war. (

[solar]

He is also very famous as an attaché (he is also a resident of the Soviet intelligence network in Germany under the pseudonym “Arnold.”)
Working in Berlin and analyzing information received from agents (in particular, from Baron Rudolf von Schelia, a high-ranking official in the central office of the German Foreign Ministry), he repeatedly warned the Intelligence Department about Germany’s preparations for war against the USSR. It was on his message about Germany’s preparations for war on June 22 that Stalin left the well-known resolution.

On June 15, Stalin wrote a humorous resolution on the report of the military attaché in Berlin, General Tupikov, warning that the war would begin on June 22: “Tell the stupid general that this is an English provocation.”

But this was not enough.
When Tupikov, already being chief of staff

From July 29, 1941 - Chief of Staff of the Southwestern Front. Front troops fought heavy defensive battles with superior enemy forces on the right bank of Ukraine.
Tupikov actively warned Headquarters about the possibility of encirclement. on September 14 1941 at 3.25 he turned to the Chief of the General Staff Shaposhnikov and the Chief of Staff of the Commander-in-Chief of the South-Western Direction. In the telegram, he characterized the difficult situation of the front troops, who were under the threat of encirclement. He proposed to urgently withdraw troops to the left bank of the Dnieper. And so he concluded the report:
“The beginning of the catastrophe you understand - just a matter of a couple of days»

In response, Tupikov was accused of alarmism and ordered the troops to remain in Kyiv.
The next day the ring of German encirclement closed.
The order to retreat came only on the night of September 18; Tupikov died when the front headquarters tried to escape from the encirclement.
As a result, twice in one summer they didn’t believe him in Moscow. The results are one more tragic than the other:((

[Eugene 62]

The order to retreat came only on the night of September 18,

It was not only Tupikov who demanded the withdrawal of troops. S. M. Budyonny also supported him. But Kirponos claimed that the situation was under control. So there was no unity here. Moreover, shortly before these events, two armies fell into a cauldron near Uman. They tried to get them out, but they couldn’t. Apparently, Stalin and Shaposhnikov believed then that an attempt to withdraw the entire front would lead to flight and even greater losses. Because such a large-scale operation was beyond our strength.

[solar]

Judging by the fact that Shaposhnikov accused Tupikov of alarmism, Moscow did not believe that the threat of encirclement was real. Then accusations of alarmism could have very serious consequences, Tupikov was taking a big risk (not to mention the fact that he was an unwanted witness. He knew that a week earlier he had given Moscow the exact date of the start of the war and Stalin’s reaction to it.).
As for Kirponos, he had no choice, he could not afford what Tupikov did. Even then, everything was hanging by a thread.

against Kirponos, the NKVD of the USSR also actively looked for evidence of anti-Soviet activities. Summarizing the result of this work, on July 16, 1941, the head of the 3rd Directorate of the USSR NGO, State Security Major A. N. Mikheev, sent a certificate addressed to G. M. Malenkov with a number of accusations against Kirponos: former Trotskyist, close ties with counter-revolutionary elements ( including with N.G. Krapivyansky), and his wife was a “Polish nationalist” and was suspected of espionage[5].

One more question...
Ivano-Frankivsk to 1962 Stanislav - return to the previous pre-communist name!!

[Prokop_Pork]

What does it mean “it’s obviously not worth including them into the Russian Federation”? What were they assessed on? In your generosity?
It’s time to understand that when dealing with such an audience, you need to grow sharper and stronger teeth.

Based on this logic, no country would reach its current size. And Genghis Khan, for example, would not have left the confines of his camp.

The homeland is not for sale!!! But the flag of Ukraine is in great demand on Ebay

[Leshak]

Restoring adequacy to such informers, like the one who was not too lazy to write a statement against, perhaps, his neighbor, is obviously a thankless task.

With these guys, everything is clear - they knocked on them, they will knock on us. Such a nature does not change - constantly in a bowed position, bending before any authority.

[Gromovanton]

The key here, as in Soviet repressions, is “a statement to the police three years ago was written by a resident of the same city, who saw on one of the sites an advertisement for the sale of Soviet symbols, which greatly outraged the “respectable” Ukrainian”... Of course, it’s both bitter and funny, as it seems normal people have gone completely crazy... But this is indicative that behind the majority of such repressions there is not only abstract communism, fascism, democracy, and portions of isms (and they are of course not on the same page at all), but even ordinary bestiality not a person, there are no individuals - fellow citizens. These are all anonymous letters from fellow citizens... Ordinary stupidity mixed with envy and greed. I read the history of Uralmash and many of those repressed, now it is quite obvious that 98% are letters from the places of ordinary bastards. The fact that this was picked up and not stopped is also part of the story. But the letters were written not by Stalin or Beria, but by the Ivanovs and Sidorovs, who worked at the same plant or lived in the same barracks, dormitory, entrance, workshop.

It’s funny, did this pepper actually make this flag himself?

More and more often I notice that the Western things that scare us are sooner or later coming true in the Russian Federation.

Linda bandera!!!!

Acá le diríamos "alto trapo"

Lástima que no la vendió en Mercado Libre (Argentinian Amazon), se la compraba y le pagaba los gastos legales... jajaja

Cute flag!!!!

Here we would tell him "tall rag"

Too bad he didn't sell it on the free market (Argentine Amazon), it was bought from him and I paid his legal fees... lol

[Bolt cutter]

"tall rag"

More like a "cool cloth". Rag in Russian has a negative and abusive connotation.

[Simon_Dellsen]

Alex, estaba por aclarar, pero me apareció una mensaje que no podía modificar el mensajes.

Trapo es de la jerga futbolística, para las "banderas"
Y ALTO o Terrible, tienen una connotación positiva, diria aumentativa. Sería como MAGNÍFICO!!!

Traducción: "Magnifica Bandera"


----------

Alex, I wanted to clarify, but I received a message that I cannot change the message.

Rag is football slang for flags.
And HIGH or TERRIBLE, they have a positive, I would say, reinforcing connotation. That would be so GREAT!!!

Translation: "Magnificent flag"

[Bolt cutter]

Rag - this is from football jargon

From my knowledge of Spanish, gained during drinking sessions with South Americans, I understood this.

Selyuk - he is also a Selyuk in Africa. He received a sentence, but he could have received a diploma and been held in high esteem, if he had waited for ours and presented the flag - he saved it, they say, he risked his life!

[JÜRGEN WEGNER]

I would buy this flag. I come from the USSR. It is advisable not to decommunize me. Glory to the USSR.
