Y'know, for a national symbol, it looks like some sort of exotic ham radio antenna that got wrecked in a windstorm.
As a symbol, it lacks both the tight branding of, say, the hammer-and-sickle, or the over-the-top pomposity of the classic "Lions with shields! Dragons! Two-headed eagles!" heraldry.
They could have at least put together a replacement ststue that fit the proportions of the base.
A statue of what though? I think this trident thing is exactly the right symbol to represent the anonymous historical void that is the source and the sink of this regime
the over-the-top pomposity of the classic "Lions with shields! Dragons! Two-headed eagles!" heraldry
the rurik fork is a fucked up tamga, they're supposed to abstract enough to be stamped on livestock
Ignoring the context, the one on the right looks absolutely pathetic. It would have been better to remove the whole thing.
To the left a statue of the great Lenin. Sorrounded by healthy city greenery.
To the right a radio antenna sticking out of a heap of concrete that looks like a horde of birds shat all over it. The city has devoured almost all greenery and the remains look half dead.
I don't think that's a rádio antenna but a nazi/Ukrainian symbol.
I tried to present the right one in the most positive light possible.
It's a real dissapointment living in a time where it's bad to criticize the Ukrainian "national hero symbols" (AKA Nazi collaboration symbols). I actually read first hand accounts from World War II Jewish populations, even ones written by anti-"Stalinist" authors that lived in regions where there were alleged local Soviet politicians with antisemitic leanings. You know what they had to say? The nationalists were known to hide from the Soviets, but they treated their encounters with the Germans like a game. All that energy to kill young Communists and round up Jews, but every time they "hid" from the Germans they always ended up fighting together against the Soviets.
You know who else unified their nation and to this day has to be credited for a national identity and unity? Benito Mussolini among Italians. I never thought I'd have to explain how that incompetent yet genocidal maniac is a bad image, but we have this Meloni gal as Prime Minister right now.
Why should I be ashamed to say Communists put these criminals to death and should be glorified for it? But no, supporting NATO with Mussolini-loving Meloni, never-denazified-Germany, and their unofficial recruits in Ukraine is more important to our beloved "Western Values" (Hiterlite-coded lingo for pan-European neo-fascist values in my opinion) than defending the legacy of the people who saved Europe from barbarism.
Fork
Spork
It looks apocalyptic
They replaced Lenin with a TV antenna?!
Sad
The trees were unironically larger and greener under the USSR
