A Russian propagandist has called for the reinstatement of the Russian Empire, saying that's the country's ultimate goal.
As Russia continues its military offensive against Ukraine, Russian propagandist Sergey Mardan alluded to a misconception that Russia wishes to restore the USSR, which collapsed in 1991, and instead suggested the country could rewind the clock back beyond the days of the Russian Empire.
His comments come as President Vladimir Putin announced a new Russian holiday, the "Day of Unification," on September 30, to mark the illegal annexation of the Dontesk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions of Ukraine.
Putin declared them to be new Russian territory a year ago, following referendums not acknowledged under international law and he entrenched the move in the Russian constitution. He made a similar move after the illegal annexation of Crimea, which is celebrated in Russia on March 18.

On 11 June 1858, by decree of Alexander II, the heraldic colors of the empire were approved for flags, banners and other items (draperies, rosettes, etc.). It became the first State flag of Russia in 1865. The white-blue-red flag was reintroduced in 1883 but the black-yellow-white remained in use until it was fully replaced in all circumstances in 1896.
NewsWEAK continues their weak propaganda jihad to promote the Neocons’ UKRAINE PROJECT and counteract the growing awareness of the American people about the duplicity of the establishment’s motivations in Ukraine.
Vietnam II being Russia’s Vietnam?
Putin refuses to recognize Ukraine as a nation. Maybe the EU needs to step up and do more to help Ukraine. But Putin is the invader.
More like Russia’s Afghanistan.
So why is Russia making these bold statements then?
I’m not sure what that meant, but we aren’t in a war, but Russia sure is, up to their eyeballs.
Not my circus not my monkeys. Let them take over the sodomites running Ukraine and dispose of them.
“Putin refuses to recognize Ukraine as a nation. Maybe the EU needs to step up and do more to help Ukraine. But Putin is the invader.”
You seriously need to read a history book and stop watching CNN.
fixed it.
De facto AND de jure.
Let "Cookies" Nuland and "Short Pants" Blinken foam in impotent rage at the kiddie table of international diplomacy...
For hundreds of years, leaders have sparred over control of Russia, depending on whether their roots were in Kiev or Moscow. Lands got carved away from one side or the other, back and forth. Lenin, Khrushev are recent ones, Putin the latest.
This will continue going on in the future, despite Ukraine being a separate nation.
Former Prime Minister Robert Fico appears to be in the lead.
Of course, the BBC says it's no big deal, since Slovakia already demilitarized itself by giving over its weapons to the Ukraine...

LOL. Russia will finish this with a complete and decisive victory by the end of 2024. The globohomo Neocons in the State Department have absolutely no idea of what to do now.
Crazy as that sounds, Putin is probably enough of a narcissist to re-make the Russian Empire if he can swing it-might even already have tailors custom making some robes of state for him-and if the old tsar’s crown is still around, I’m sure he”ll want it found so he can wear it...
And a lot of Americans who say they respect Reagan are cheering it on. SMH/CMTU
