\nSoviet flags and a statue of Lenin: the Russian communist paraphernalia in Ukraine<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

On April 22, the Russian Telegram channel ok_spn<\/a> published a series of photos of operators of the Russian special forces in Ukraine, the famous Spetsnaz.<\/strong> In the images these soldiers are seen accompanied by a GAZ Tigr-M vehicle and armed with AK-74<\/strong> assault rifles (equipped with 1P87 and PK1 Obzor optics, and one with a GP-25 grenade launcher attached) and a PKP<\/strong> machine gun (under These lines). They carry camouflaged weapons, a common custom in special operations groups. They wear uniforms with the Russian copy of the Multicam camouflage that FSB Spetsnaz groups have been using for years<\/strong>, as well as FAST-type helmets, typical of special operations groups.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Significantly, these Spetsnaz bear red patches with a white circle on their arms<\/strong>, the mark identified at the beginning of the invasion as being assigned to forces deployed in Belarus and who invaded Ukraine from the north, then being sent to eastern Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Let us remember that the Soviet communist dictatorship perpetrated a genocide in Ukraine, known as the Holodomor<\/a>, in which millions of people died from a famine deliberately caused by Stalin with massive grain requisitions. In 2015, the Ukrainian Parliament banned the display of nazi and communist symbols<\/a> due to their clear association with totalitarian regimes that committed crimes of genocide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
