Observe.

Look past the headlines and see the real cultural and political undercurrent flowing through Slavlands society.

I’ve written about the political schizophrenia that stalks the Slavlands many times before. Here is one example:

But I’ve never seen it exemplified so well as what we see in this video of Russian spetznaz on the front using drones to calibrate kalibr fire. Take a look at the video yourself first. Here.

And here are the relevant stills.

The first one shows three soldiers with varying patches:

Two have nordic or slavic-themed runes, a Punisher comic logo, a dog-man neo-pagan cult of Fenris symbol (presumably) and the third has a USSR patch.

The next shot has a guy with the battle banner of Jesus that was used by Cossacks in their wars against the Muslims of the Russian Federation (and the Poles, to be fair).

Enhance:

Notice what symbol or flag is missing.

That’s right - the modern RF tricolor.

Why is this the case?
