Yes, see where you are. Defending the far right because of the above. How did you end up here?

Maybe what's written on it would give us some historical context specific to odessa. Just a hunch.I don't. I don't need one. Do you? Do you doubt what those colours mean? What those emblems mean? is the jury still out?

Where - having to point out the whites to you?How did you end up there?
Come on. The white power and SS symbols on maidan are way more disambiguous than that banner.Yeah, when choosing that flag and that emblem and those shields and those weapons it was all just an accident and the words on the banner said vote lib-dem.
Jesus, this is the mirror image of that those BBC and guuardian reports about pro-democracy protesters who were openly parading in fascist colours and emblems behind them. Shameful abrogation.
And yet some people needed them picking out and explaining. Sort of like here and with you.Come on. The white power and SS symbols on maidan are way more disambiguous than that banner.
well im sure the fascists will be very happy to put them there alongside the communists and anyone else who gets in their way.
im equally sure youll be deriving some satisfaction from that, and no doubt expressing it too

Yep, they were imperial colours used in the 19th century and have been adopted by nationalist groups (not necessarily monarchist) since the dying days of the Soviet Union (the 'Black Hundredist' Pamyat in the 1980s).
The pogrom-inciting Movement Against Illegal Immigration (DPNI), which has been led by a former Pamyat member, used the colours.
The other flag has the Romanov imperial standard, along with 'Glory to Russia.'
This is a real post. Communists vs fascists. That's how he sees this.
Do we have a translation of what's actually written on it?
Sorry, you've lost me.What does it tell you?I found it interesting that you stated that they appeared at the end of the original occupation. What might that tell us? I mean, I know what it tells me, but what might it tell people who think that RT is a relatively-unbiased info source?
Funny choice of word that: "celebrating"Not really the same thing, is it, people "celebrating" a media event held for some old girl who's a titular head of state only, and people supporting the restoration of a monarchy whose final spasms caused millions on millions of deaths, both directly and indirectly.

From the same wiki page that DairyQueen and BA have refered to:

Odesskaya Druzhina says fuck all to me. I dont speek the lingo. That's why I asked for the translation. A bit of background would be good too.So, what do you think of Odesskaya Druzhina, pocketscience? Not noticed the scum in Russia who use those colours?
Not really.Getting desperate.
No you're not. Look at the excuse after excuse you've thrown up this evening. You're a joker. The sort of anti-fascist that people like CR and other authoritarians prey on.Not really.
Convince me more. Please. It can't be hard. I'm open minded.
You just had it. You didn't accept it because - not any politically or historically informed research - it doesn't feel right. Mug.
Name calling. Bravo!No you're not. Look at the excuse after excuse you've thrown up this evening. You're a joker. The sort of anti-fascist that people like CR and other authoritarians prey on.
I think that you're done here.Name calling. Bravo!
Do you have any further evidence?
Ok, further evidence of what? This accepts that you've seen some evidence against a charge - what is the charge and what is the evidence. Say explicitly.Name calling. Bravo!
Do you have any further evidence?
Could you clarify what you mean by 'an anti-Maidan force'?It says Odesskya Druzhina. From some quick googling on the Russian web, this Odessa 'militia' appears to be a group of pro-Russians set up as an anti-Maidan force.
Simple - because it fucks up left vs right narratives in these peoples minds. Even people in their 40s.there are far right groups attending leftist demonstrations in this country ffs (look at some of the filth at anti-war and Palestine demos, even some of the anti cuts stuff). Why is it so hard to believe that it could happen in Ukraine where 'communism' and 'anti fascism' have become identified with Russian nationalism and synonymous with this for some people?
The communist party in those countries is massively linked to Russian nationalism, they think it is all right to go around calling people nigger etc in Moldova. Of course the people on those demos aren't all far right but why is it so unbelievable that far right groups could adopt 'anti fascism' as a thing especially in a place where nationalism is so identified with the second world war?
Because nobody has provided compelling evidence that that's the case?there are far right groups attending leftist demonstrations in this country ffs (look at some of the filth at anti-war and Palestine demos, even some of the anti cuts stuff).

What on earth makes you think that it would not be the third? Are you even watching this?Could you clarify what you mean by 'an anti-Maidan force'?
Is it they are against the original anti-corruption protests, or against the pro-EU supporters, or against the Right Sector/fascist activists.
I am guessing that you are saying that it is the first, or the first and second. But not the third?
