Rehearsal for the Russian May 9th victory day parade today. T-34s with blank red banners on them. Victory over fascism was the purpose of the original may 9th parade. Victory for communism. Now the symbols are gone, and the ideology with it. It’s victory for the sake of victory. A dead, soulless husk of a celebration
What’s wrong with blank red flags?
They took off the hammer and sickle and the star.
Red flag is the universal flag of communism
russia isn't communist though, it's victory for victory aesthetics

that's fair I can't speak towards russian perception. It is weird seeing a capitalist regime using watered down communist aesthetics though.

Sure, but it’s closer than it has been for 30 years and it’s going in the right direction and fighting on behalf of anti-imperialism
That's an incredibly low bar, and also isn't true. There was a better chance in the 90s when things were totally unstable and Yeltsin could have been toppled.
There won't be a communist Russia with Putin in power, and even without him the CPRF is a disaster with a lot of things to sort out before they could even do a half-decent job.
maybe they are just waiting till the day of to put them on as a happy surprise. :)
Very obviously a cheap standin for the Soviet flag
i'm surprised they even have red flags, i don't think this was the case last year
edit: nvm this one's from 2021
I just checked. In 2021 the T-34 column was led by a tank with a red flag and a yellow star in the middle (historical unit insignia maybe?). In 2020 it was the Victory Banner (I think), then that unit flag.
Either way, it seems a bit premature to assume that they've canned the Victory Banner this year based on the rehearsal.
Yea, still though they've been moving from Soviet symbolism to Russian symbolism.
They didn't use to hide Lenin's Masoleum for instance.
