St. George Ribbon - a symbol of new Russia and solidarity with Eastern Ukraine
Recall that the world-famous black and orange striped ribbons, which first appeared in 2005 in the framework of the St. George Ribbon event, will be launched this year into space. They will also appear at military film festivals and photo exhibitions in May, they will be used during flash mobs. This action is going to support various media around the world.
It is worth noting that it is RIA News at one time, it launched the action, and today the ribbon has literally found a second life and has become a symbol of the new Russia and the Russian people. If in the 2005 year, the St. George Ribbon was a symbol of the victory of the Soviet people, a symbol of feats accomplished by fathers and grandfathers, now it has become something new for the country. Now it can be considered a symbol of loyalty to domestic values, a symbol of honor. Now the St. George Ribbon is also a sign of distinction.
According to Kiselev, also now the tape is a sign of solidarity of the Russian people with the inhabitants of Eastern Ukraine, where for over a month rallies of supporters of federalism have been held.
According to Kiselev, Russia is in solidarity with the people who are forced to defend the St. George ribbon and the system that it represents in Eastern Ukraine. Therefore, the ribbon is now also a symbol of solidarity. Moreover, today the St. George Ribbon is not just a memory, but also a hope for a decent future.
Of course, the fact that today people have to die with the St. George ribbon on the chest is a drama, Kiselev said. However, all of them, as well as many others, see in the ribbon a symbol of a brighter future, a kind of symbol of values that must be protected, even with a weapon in their hands. At the same time, the expert stressed that their agency will definitely inform people about those who are in a difficult position, protecting the St. George ribbon.
According to the agency’s director general, when meeting a person on the street with a black-and-orange striped ribbon on his chest, one can safely trust him. As Krylov notes, now this tape is everywhere - in space, in the Crimea, in the Far East. Moreover, in this symbol there is no aggression, there is only protection and devotion to the ideals of several generations of people who helped make Russia a great and powerful country.
