This vid appears to be from the 60s (Civil War vets in the crowd… the VOV vets look like they’re in their 50s… the uniforms and equipment is of that era). The Red Army halted American aggression from 1950 on… it stopped American moves in Korea, Cuba, and Indochina, and assisted the indigenous fighters in the Portuguese Colonial War of the 60s and 70s. It’s one major failure was in Afghanistan, where the USA used Radical Islamists (nurturing Osama bin Laden and the future Taliban) to push back the Red Army forces supporting the DRA. We’ve seen what happened in the power-vacuum after 1991… the actions of the USA since then proved to all comers that the Americans, NOT THE SOVIETS, were the aggressors in the Cold War.
Mistrust all “conservatives”… they’re liars and conscious defenders of evil. Give them no quarter…

On Sunday night in Lvov, unknown vandals desecrated the monument to the soldiers who fell in Afghanistan, sawing off a hand from the bronze soldier figure and damaging its knee. Members of the Lvov Oblast Society of Afghanistan Veterans (Soldier-Internationalists) filed a complaint with the police, which resulted in a criminal case under the UKU article “Theft”. Some think that the vandals could sell the removed parts as non-ferrous metal scrap. The monument to Lvov homies who died in Afghanistan went up in 1999. the funds to build it came from the Lvov branch of the Union of Afghan Veterans.
