    For anyone wondering, the runes on his hands are “Leben”/Life, “Othala”/purity/brotherhood, and “Tod”/Death. The combination is a common pattern that SS members would use to describe their lives and leben and tod were used in place of a cross to denote KIA.

    These are all common Nazi runes and the SS in particular loved using leben and tod even though they are obsolete as runes, and any usage of them is nearly always Nazi related when used together.

    looks like they’re trying to make a bad imitation of “Repin’s Ivan The Terrible”

    I once had someone say that “Ukrainian war hero” that got a standing ovation was Russian propaganda. It sickened me to my stomach.

        Oh and I see the guy who posted it is a Ukrainian military guy. I thought he was a good guy or something. Knowing who he is is key.

    I’ve seen Russian soldiers with Nazi shit too. This whole war just seems like a Hitler particle accelerator.

      I’ve probably seen over a thousand pics of Ukrainian Nazis. I can’t remember seeing any Russian soldiers with Nazi iconography.

      YTs gonna YT… but the difference between Ukrainians and Russians, is that the Ukrainians openly celebrate it, their state endorses it, and they are working as part of the western global imperialist, white supremacist order.

      During the start of the war I took the stance that both sides were hyper reactionary and you shouldn’t side with either. As I looked more into it and more information came out though it was clear to see that one side was way preferential to the other, and way more justified.

      My stance is still to get NATO the fuck out of there, because regardless of whose side you’re on, NATO’s just there for the nazis.
