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.

Marcus, I see that you’re a Politico reader. Ain’t that SPECIAL!
What am I missing about Ratcliffe and the CIA?
I know the CIA was instrumental under Obama in starting this stupid war, and provoked Putin in the first place.
My impressions is that the intelligence agencies cooperated to try to eliminate Trump before the election (speculation, I know, but all of the evidence points there with multiple cell phones, foreign bank accounts, and recruiting for Ukraine, trips, ect). Brennan appears to be in Austria (neutral ground but ‘spy heaven’). I don’t see having Radcliffe there is sending a message that Trump has control of the ‘elements’ that were responsible for sinking the 2016 summit, Russiagate, or any of the other nefarious activities. Haven’t seen arrests or releases of laptop information for Seth Rich either, The Russians blamed for DNC hack. What am I missing about Radcliffe?
I actually met Lavrov about 20 years ago and can confirm that he was then—and still is—one.
The Left loves the Chinese much more now.
The Chinese are the ones who are benefiting from the Ukraine/Russia war the most.

Chinese Foreign Policy: “Let you and him fight!”
Lavrov is the best of the best, the U.S. ( and the world) has nothing that comes even close to his experience and diplomatic skills.
I would love to see our negotiating team’s faces when they have to deal with him….unfortunately complete transcripts will never be released. Lavrov will be eating Chicken Kiev, and a lot of it.
Judging by Vlad’s current events on the battlefield, Chicken Kiev, served fresh, not frozen, says it all. Your graphic speaks volumes.
Thanks for posting, I will be laughing all day.
It said CNN Sucks
It’s a troll, since the USSR invented Ukraine, and now that it’s gone, it’s Ukraine’s turn to disappear.
Isn't Ratcliffe the guy who Hillary ran her Russia! scam by?
Why is it you Neocon rats never once wished DJT good luck in his peace effort?
If we look at China’s situation in a possible war with the United States in 2021 versus the positive military/strategic changes for America and the West, and the Pacific that have come since Russia’s invasion, I think we benefitted more than China.
Why is Lavrov wearing Soviet Union sweatshirt?

With guys like Lavrov who are long in the tooth, old Soviet nationalistic tendencies die hard.
Pete Hegseth and General Razin Caine are on the way to the summit.
Lavrov really screwed things up with his CCCP stunt.
Why haven’t you Neocon rats wished DJT luck with his Peace effort?
Lukashenko invited Trump and his family to Minsk, and the invitation was accepted — The First Pool
