Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov appeared to be wearing a sweater with the letters “CCCP” — Russian for USSR — upon his arrival in Alaska.
Lavrov will be part of the Kremlin’s delegation when Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump meet later on Friday in a hotly anticipated summit to discuss the war in Ukraine.
Lavrov’s white sweatshirt was carefully hidden under a black gilet with only the middle letters “CC” clearly showing in a video posted on X.
The current Russian regime has repeatedly exploited USSR nostalgia to pursue its political and imperial goals, according to experts, with Putin calling the break-up of the Soviet Union the “greatest political catastrophe” of the 20th century during an address in 2005.
Moscow’s longing for the past has also been frequently linked to its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the ensuing war, which Trump hopes to bring to an end in Alaska on Friday.
Before turning to politics, Putin himself worked for the KGB — the Soviet Union’s intelligence agency — serving as mid-level officer in Dresden in the second half of the 1980s, which back then was part of communist-ruled East Germany.

Subtle
The First letter does not look like a C in CCCP to me
Far Left fake news is nothing more than a collection of mental cases....
I think it says “АССХОЛЬ”
Any one paying attention can see that right now the peoples (sheeples) of the world are being led (herded) by the very rich like the Rothschild Cabal toward another worldwide war clash. War is how they feed their greed and ambition. These influencers are weighing heavily on the thought processes and players in this confrontation. The staging and build up for this clash has been on-going for years. Let’s pray that Trump and Putin can see through and overcome the war influencers this time around. What is so frustrating is, like the lead up to past worldwide calamities, the sheeple seem blinded by the herd-master’s hand in influencing this matter.
Why is Lavrov wearing Soviet Union sweatshirt?
Is that Russian for Abercrombie and Fitch?
CC? He must be a Caitlin Clark fan.
He’s been pictured without the jacket. It is very obviously a CCCP T shirt.
You have to like Lavrov; he really doesn’t care how obvious his trolling gets and he loves the diplomatic immunity too.
Zelensky got bawled out just for not wearing a suit despite his reason that not offending any other western leader. But imagine if Z had turned up at the gates of the White House wearing a shirt with AZOV on it. Surely nobody, least of all the President, would have even let him into the building after doing something that provocative?
Let’s see some consistency from Trump if Droopy is still wearing that T shirt in six hour’s time.
Alaska was chosen by Putin, and not without reason.
appeared
You know what didn’t appear
In that video clip at link

Much less one with CCP on it.

Just like time and ALL the American urinalist rags
Telling.
President Trump is bringing CIA director Ratcliffe to the summit. Bad news for your side.
“Why is Lavrov wearing Soviet Union sweatshirt?”
Westerners, exercise the option to keep your independent Ukraine soon, next to last chance, going, going...
Vlad the invader want to remake the Soviet Empire.
His delegates wearing CCCP shirts are sending a message.
Trump needs to send a message back.
President Trump bringing CIA director Ratcliffe to the summit is sending Putin a message.
