    I wonder if it’s owned/operated by one of the republics, since they have a decent population of Leninists. Though, I wouldn’t hold it against Russian tankers who have a positive view of the USSR to do this, or for Russian tankers who disagree with Putin’s anti-bolshevik stance to do this in protest.

      I’m fairly sure it’s a t72, tho. So for all I know, this could be Ukrainian. This is a situation of both sides of a conflict using either the same or similar equipment, so it’s really hard to identify stuff sometimes.

      edit: actually this has the Z, so it’s Russian. Russia is using a Z to identify their equipment.

    It is probably more propaganda with historical appeal - making the invasion of Ukraine a replay of the Great Patriotic War against Nazi Germany - than sincere affiliation to Marxism-Leninism. But it cannot be excluded that some commanders do have sympathies for communism.
