    Haven’t Ukrainian socialists been burned alive in Odessa’s union building? So leftists could care less for either side.

      There were some far-right Russian nationalists that colluded with police and shot pro-Ukraine marchers in 2014, before barricading themselves in the Union House building, and started shooting and throwing Molotovs at protestors, and lit themselves on fire. Are you thinking of those proto-Ztards?

        To be fair, diehard USSR fans were usually among most active separatists, of course self-proclaimed socialists. It’s just that Russian idea of socialism is rather “ice cream was tasty, and kielbasa costed 3 kopecks” nostalgia and not the cooperative workplace ownership or whatever (because USSR was never actually socialist).

          Anything actually socialist was destroyed by the Western superpowers. Everything else was left to be pointed at as “See? It never works!”.
