Today I accidentally saw a video, after watching it, I sighed, the video content is a 54-year-old ukrainian driver was questioned by the police because he hung a St. George ribbon and a Soviet flag in the car, the two sides had a fierce quarrel and conflict, the police said that according to the current Ukrainian law, these two items are prohibited, the old driver said that he grew up in the Soviet period, he grew up under these signs, this is his faith. The police criticized him for saying that the Soviet Union has been disintegrating for almost thirty years, and now that this is Ukraine, what do you keep mentioning the Soviet Union for? The driver said excitedly, "Why should I change my mind because of your wishes?" ”
The police said that what he had done violated Ukrainian law, and the driver was very excited to retort: This is my faith, or you will beat me to death! Who made this legal provision? The policeman replied, "President." The driver sneered: the president wore a St. George ribbon as an official during the Soviet era. Then the driver turned on the mocking mode: you will shout that Crimea is Ukrainian, and since Crimea is really Ukrainian, why are you standing here? Because st. George's ribbon and the Soviet flag are Soviet-era things, you are going to take them away, so next to them are all houses built in the Soviet period, why don't you tear them all down? The policemen were dumbfounded. Eventually, however, at the strong request of the police, the old driver had to open the car door, and the police took away the St. George ribbon and the Soviet flag.
Today, the Soviet Union has become a historical term that no longer exists, but many of its glorious and tragic stories are remembered, especially those who grew up in the Soviet Union. On November 7, 1941, Nazi German soldiers came to Moscow, in order to boost morale, the Soviet Union held a grand military parade in Red Square, live ammunition was inspected, and after the parade, it went directly to the front line to fight with the German army. After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union became the only superpower in the world with the same strength as the United States, and the curtain of the Cold War slowly opened, and the two countries began a crazy arms race, and the world was shrouded in tension.
However, in 1991, the Empire State Building suddenly collapsed, the Soviet Union disintegrated, split into 15 countries, Ukraine became an independent country, Russia inherited most of the Soviet Union's military heritage, and the former fraternal countries were constantly discordant and hostile, especially the Crimean dispute, which worsened the relations between the two countries. Many Russians and Ukrainians who have witnessed the glorious history of the Soviet Union are full of deep nostalgia for the Soviet Union, and they grew up in the Soviet Union, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many people like this old driver changed from Soviets to Ukrainians, and the historical trend was full of twists and turns, and people walked unconsciously under the coercion of the historical trend.
