Sergey Lavrov’s Alaska outfit hints at Soviet nostalgia
Politico EU ^ | 8/15/2025 | NETTE NÖSTLINGER

Posted on 08/15/2025 3:20:23 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

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.

There are many subtitled Russian historical documentaries on youtube.com. From what I’ve seen, Russia isn’t in love with Lenin or his revolution, but WWII is at the center of their consciousness, so they tend to be sympathetic to people around Stalin because they think that such people built up the USSR to the point where it could fight and beat Hitler. They also cling to the idea that the Soviet Union needed the a-bomb and the Cold War was the US’s fault.

No need. The Russian Foreign Ministry has confirmed the purchase - it’s from Wildberries - and it’s trending across western Russia.

Do you vatnik supporters have access to Russian social media or do you only have access to Russian propaganda?

I don’t think here’s on here.

Besides - he has skill - no luck needed. He will end Putin’s war, one way or another.
