They have a “people's army” because they are Neo-Soviet revanchists working with KGB Putin to reverse the collapse of the EVIL EMPIRE. "People's army" is communist terminology.

The Putinista traitors in Donetsk are waving communist flags with the hammer and sickle on it while the patriotic Ukrainians in Kiev topple statues of the communist mass-murderer Lenin.
