      If this is real and not a random post that put the flag on it, those who did it are going to be in serious trouble..

      They feel incredibly weak; even with the propaganda blasting 24/7, they must sense subconsciously that the country is nearing the end of its run, as an international player. So to combat the cognitive dissonance, they are regressing to the last time the reality was consistent with propaganda. It’s the same as the fuss about British passports being blue again… or green, or red. I can’t remember. Just muuuch more acute.

      Lithuania used to be part of the Soviet Union… just a little hint of what might be waiting for them.

      They are stupid, that’s why.

      Probably some old fuck remembering how he was happy during soviet times… it’s amazing what alcohol during pregnancy does.

      don’t search for excuses or logic or hidden matter where it can be explained by stupidity

      The Soviet Union is russian imperialism that both left-wing and right-wing chauvinists can get behind. They use this flag as a symbol to state their imperialist claim on territory they at one point occupied but no longer do.

      Russia isn’t in a good place right now. 

      They are clinging to old ideals, idealising how things used to be, not realizing that times have changed and the world has moved on. 

      Not to mention, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has done an incredible amount of damage. Besides highlighting their own incompetence and awful state of their military, their hemorrhaging money, their killing off younger generations and loosing support because the oligarchs are being hit hard. 

      Russia is an embarrassment.

      Edited to correct wording.

      Rose tinted glasses have a lot to answer for; even if the USSR did have to import them from the west.

      looks like someone tried to improvise a Chinese flag but couldn’t quite get the details right

      It’s their security blanket. Couple of years ago they were snickering at their “smart” adds on TV how Europe will freeze in darkness without Russia and now they have to explain their kids why Belgorod is in darkness and why the air raid sirens are going off every day. All they can do – dig out that red rag from the basement and remind to everyone of their “glory times” to cope.

      Low cost, low effort attempt at .. idk intimidation? Posturing? Nostalgia? They run out of Russian federation flags? The possibilities are limitless when dealing with “mysterious Russian soul” combined with overzealous propaganda machine.

      russia = ussr. ussr strong everybody afraid of it. russia (not) strong.
      Thant’s it and nothing more.

      They evidently miss the good old times, pathetically I might add

    21. r0w33 on

      They are threatening their former colonies with the flag of Russian imperialism 2.0.

      Литовцев потроллили, а они повелись. Классика.

    26. Prudent_Link6029 on

      It’s a distress signal – close to collapse and breakup like in 1989

      They run out of a good „ideologies“ to rally people with. Tried with „poor west“ but russia is currently 20 years behind and there’s internet so people don’t buy it. Bad imperialism is sort of inconvenient being that russia is no 1 imperialistic country currently. Radical socialism is also inconvenient as without small business they’ll tank. So they took the ride with sentiment combining it with religion. It really shows how shallow their ideological pond has become.

      Nostalgia. Those were times whe they were more powerful, now they are weak

      Is that an official flag pole related to a border post or just someone living there?

      To quote Master Oogway „You are far too concerned of what once was. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present.“

      The overwhelming sentimentalism of once „great USSR“ amid russians will be their ultimate downfall.

      Putin has visions of the old USSR dancing in his head, and the sees his legacy as resurrecting that old Dinosaur.

    34. fatbreadslut on

      genuinely who cares. i know we should be prepared for the worst but russia is a paper tiger at this point. their trolling has gotten so tired and predictable it doesn’t strike fear anymore, it’s just kind of like okay anyway

      Even in Ukraine, there are a lot of boomers who say that „the USSR was better,“ but younger people more often hate it. It’s worse in Russia, where even a lot of young people are supporters of the USSR. This is because of the Russian education system, which portrays the USSR as a „land of dreams.“

      We all know the one girl/guy who peaked in highschool and his/hers fb is full of old photos from 10-20 years ago when he/she was still hot, but very few actual pictures? Russia is the country version of this.

      They are collapsing, everyone knows it. And You can help to bring the end of it by donating one coffee price to buy drones (like rusoriz fundraiser). Bringing the end of oil empire and a hopeful future)

    40. Rich_Artist_8327 on

      They are reminding Lithuanians „You were once part of us“ and maybe in the future.

    43. RelativeRepublic7 on

      Curiously, most people who fought for and lived under this flag would find Putinist Russia disgusting.
