On Pikabu there’s a video report from Washington:

“The Immortal Regiment action goes again in the American capital after six-year pause. Despite attempts by pro-Ukrainian activists to disrupt the event (yellow-blue flags and loud slogans), hundreds of people – immigrants from the former USSR and Americans – peacefully marched from the White House to the war memorial.”I commented:
“There is something wrong with the logic of those with blue and yellow flags.
The Immortal Regiment is an event in memory of the fallen soldiers of the USSR.
Ukraine was part of the USSR.
What are they unhappy with today?
It would be logical and morally correct if they joined the procession with their flags and honored the memory of their own ancestors.”my comment got 207 upvotes and 7 downvotes, and most of the responses can be summarized as:
“the descendants of the opposing side in that war are protesting”There are still people who believe that Ukraine is a democracy, and that their ruling regime is not nazi.
I’ll share this here, to prove them wrong.

– what’s wrong?
– you’re listening to Russian song
– so what?
– it’s forbidden
– it’s just a song (*the song is the “Victory Day” performed by Joseph Kobzon)
– you cannot listen Russian songs
– it’s so wrong! Our ancestors…. hey, I’m doing my prayers in Russian, would you arrest me for praying in Russian?

Earlier I’ve seen reports about advertising on kids TV channels. Ukrainian security service runs ads encouraging kids to call up SBU if they see their siblings or friends listening to Russian music.
