Russian Invaders Erect Monument To Lenin In Occupied Nova Kakhovka

A monument to Lenin has nothing to do with Stalinism.

It’s like saying a statue of Thomas Jefferson celebrates the Confederacy.
Stalin also revered Lenin and sorry but the behaviors of the occupiers in Donbas is most certainly neo-stalinism.



Talk about ‘hybrid’ regime obscures Putin’s creation of a ‘neo-Stalinist state,’ Pavlova says


In addition to restoring the Stalinist method of rule, “the Putin regime has successfully consolidated the population of the country around the supreme power,” by playing on memories of the Great Fatherland War and promoting the notion that Russia today is a besieged fortress surrounded by enemies.

As a result of these Putin “achievements,” “Russians even in the 21st century remain an archaic and paternalistic people, completely depending and relying on the central powers” and retaining their “traditional anti-democratic and anti-Western Russian and Soviet values, which have come to form a great-power ideology or Russian fundamentalism.”

That system of values includes the notion shared by the powers and the population that “the Russian people is the bearer of a special morality and a special feeling of justice, that the West can never be “a model for societal development,” that Russia must be an empire, and that they and their country have “a special historical mission.”

Neo-Stalinism

A 13.5 metre-tall statue of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin still dominates the main square in Donetsk, the capital of the eponymous breakaway region in southeastern Ukraine.
And the constitution adopted by Lenin’s successor, Josef Stalin, has been restored by the Moscow-backed separatist leaders of Donetsk and neighbouring Luhansk after they broke away from the central government in 2014.
This constitution prescribes the death penalty for a number of crimes, making the separatist “People’s Republics” – and authoritarian Belarus nearby – Europe’s only homes to capital punishment.
After almost eight years of existence, the “republics” are understood to have evolved into totalitarian, North Korea-like statelets.
It is near impossible for foreigners to enter the areas. Ukrainians can only visit if they have relatives in Donetsk and Luhansk, and would have to cross into Russia first, which takes about 30 hours and costs $100 – a journey that also involves bribing officials at times. Residents need a Soviet-era residency registration.
In the statelets, secret police and “loyal” residents monitor every word, phone call and text message.

Dissidents or businessmen who refuse to “donate” their assets to the “needs of the People’s Republic” have been thrown in “cellars”, or dozens of makeshift concentration camps, without trial.

“It looks like the 1930s in the Soviet Union, a classic gulag,” Stanislav Aseyev, a publicist who was kidnapped in 2017 in Donetsk and was sentenced by a separatist “court” to 15 years in jail for “espionage”, told Al Jazeera.

For almost two years, he was incarcerated and tortured in these “cellars” until separatists swapped him and dozens of other prisoners in 2017.


Thousands of others were tortured and abused in the “cellars”, according to rights groups and witnesses. The grave human rights abuses make Donetsk and Luhansk far worse than today’s Russia, an international human rights advocate said.

yes, but do you agree that pootin´s gang is imitating ussr ?





I think they are “emulating” numerous dictatorships before them.

And no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany and the capture of Berlin.

Putin has already returned the USSR to Russia and now they need an empire to exploit.

That system of values includes the notion shared by the powers and the population that “the Russian people is the bearer of a special morality and a special feeling of justice, that the West can never be “a model for societal development,” that Russia must be an empire, and that they and their country have “a special historical mission.”
Despite what some think or perhaps hope, this regime is “stable as never before,” Pavlova says. It is one like Stalin’s in which “the life of the Russian population will continue to get worse and its morality degrade, but the components of this regime, that is, the siloviki, the power elite, the military and the national corporations will flourish as before.”

Such a state is “not a hybrid regime.” Those who think so are focusing only on “superficial phenomena.” Instead it is, as it has been since 2007, Pavlova says, quite obviously a dictatorship and should be called that rather than dressed up as something else.

Most Marxist-Leninists admire Lenin, yes.

And again, so what? Ukraine literally has a national holiday celebrating Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera.
 
Marxist Leninist” is….debatable.


ok, do you agree with WIKI ?

Marxism–Leninism is a communist ideology which was the main communist movement throughout the 20th century.[1] It was the formal name of the state ideology adopted by the Soviet Union...Marxism-Leninism was developed by Joseph Stalin in the 1920s based on his understanding and synthesis of orthodox Marxism and Leninism.[16][17] After the death of Vladimir Lenin in 1924, Marxism-Leninism became a distinct movement in the Soviet Union when Stalin and his supporters gained control of the party.

Nowhere in the article does it state that Stalin was a “true” Marxist Leninist; his theories were hotly contested from the beginning, which is why he conducted purges of people like Kirov, and why there were so many schisms down the line.

He was famous for fighting the Russians so yes they admire that about him. The Russians are the eternal enemy of Ukraine and they have good reasons for that. Hitler is gone but the Russians still seek to enslave Ukraine.

Why would the locals desire a statue to the man that crushed the Ukrainian War of Independence?


It boils down to Ukraine's basic divide: an ethnic Ukrainian majoirty and an ethnic Russian minority. The latter dont see the independence of the majority as their own suppression. The statues of Lenin were not pulled down as an objection to communism, they were pulled down as a rejection of Russia.
 
RT.ru lie

the reality :

Putin has hijacked WWII to justify Moscow aggression

https://www.atlanticcouncil.org › blogs › ukrainealert





7 May 2020 — Under Vladimir Putin, Russia's annual Victory Day holiday has morphed from a solemn WWII memorial honoring Soviet losses into a grandiose ...

The reality: your article ignores the fact that Russia itself saw extremely heavy fighting on its own soil(arguing that it was “Ukraine and Belarus which bore the brunt conveniently ignores the fact that the Soviets saw every bit as heavy fighting on Russian soil).

Claiming the USSR “played a role in ignoring World War Two” is likewise a stretch, given that the Germans were attacking Poland regardless of what anyone else thought or did. Efforts to “hold both Berlin and Moscow responsible” are revisionist history at best, often born out of the same efforts to rehabilitate Nazi collaborators.

Arguing nobody knows about Katyn or the Winter War is an outright lie; both are regularly covered in American history classes.

Likewise, calling Nazi collaborators “national liberation movements” is an outright lie.

Your article is trash.

He fought the Russians…..alongside the Nazis. There is literally nothing worth “admiring” about that, especially since his troops murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

Putin is emulating Stalin in all his horror. Ukraine is countering it with "Welcome to Hell" Caution the contents are disturbing but IMO it fits the situation and it;s purpose is to scare the Russian invaders shitless.
Caution this video includes graphic violence and is not for the squeamish,

He fought the Russian scum...end of story. The Russians are currently murdering or enslaving 100's of 1000's of innocent Ukrainians and this is not the 1st time either. Nothing is too extreme as punishment for those acts of terror. I hope every Russian soldier rots in hell for their crimes. Welcome to hell russian invaders.
Caution this video includes graphic violence and is not for the squeamish. The woman is speaking Russian and this was made for the Russian invaders.

He was a Nazi collaborator whose troops murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people(at a minimum)…..end of story.

You trying to excuse Nazi collaboration is pathetic.
 
The russians have erected a statue of lenin in Ukraine. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more than one of them in russian controlled territory in Ukraine.

The russians are back to their communist ways.

It's looking like the reports were right, putin is brining back the soviet union and communism.

I wonder if trump and his republicans will continue to follow?

Not surprising. There have been pics of Putzin's slaughter army running the Hammer and Sickle up flag poles in places they've taken over.
 
They probably just replacing one that the Ukrainian government pulled down years ago, often against the wishes of the locals.
You upset they trashed a Lenin statue?
