Against the background of the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin began to actively use Soviet symbols.

“Today Western countries have actually declared war on the Victory flag, banning it everywhere. They are afraid of this symbol because the red victory flag reminds them of the greatness of our people and our great victory. I think it’s time to recognize the Victory flag as our state flag,” Sheremet said.

The deputy repeated the Kremlin narratives that “grandfathers fought under this flag” during the Second World War, and today under it the Russian army allegedly “opposes neo-Nazis, who were reborn in Ukraine and skillfully hid their face for many years in Western countries.”
