The white red white flag first appeared in Belarus in 1918 under German occupation of Belarus

It appeared again under nazi occupation in which the carriers of this glag collaborated with nazis, killed their jewish neighbours and killed communist partisans

It appeared again in 1991-1995 when nationalists came to the fore to help destroy the Soviet Union

It is oft featured at nazi rallys

    So their only example of “brutal soviet oppression” is that they changed the alphabet from Latin to Cyrillic? How can anyone take this seriously?

      They’re using this excuse for nazi collaborators. Apparently supporting genocide is less bad than doing a language reform to these. That’s what decades and decades of western propaganda against the USSR do to peoples’ thinking.

      What did you expect from anti-communists? Even good things like eliminating illiteracy can be framed as oppression when it comes to these types.
