The fall of USSR and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
The height of banderite creativity.
- Dumbasses can't even build their own statue
Historical revisionism.
disgusting revisionism
not pictured: millions of Ukrainian red army soldiers rolling in their graves
- specially when red army memorials from the gpw got vandalized
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.
- 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.
- No joke
  
  Vanilla? Yea that checks out
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
