IRYNA BALACHUK — FRIDAY, 9 SEPTEMBER 2022, 11:42
Russian invaders have celebrated the anniversary of the alleged "liberation of Donetsk from the fascists" in Mariupol [Russian propaganda portrays Ukrainian troops as "fascists" – ed.]. The "festivities" included playing the national anthem of the USSR and a gathering of so-called "pioneers" and "veterans".

Quote from Andriushchenko: "In Mariupol, the baZtards celebrated the anniversary of the liberation of Donetsk from the Nazis (they had ‘Donbas’ [and not Donetsk] for some reason). Everything is classic. The neo-Pioneering of the Putin Jugend [the Pioneers were the children’s movement of the Communist Party in the USSR and featured prominently in its theatrical activities – ed.]. Gauleiters [Russian-appointed ‘governors’ – ed.]. Military occupiers of the Soviet Union and of modern times."
Details: The Mayor's adviser described the staged celebration as "Russia’s neo-Bolshevik fascism at the peak of propaganda frenzy".

He added that the invaders had opened [a memorial site at] Savur-Mohyla [a strategic height in the Donets ridge near the city of Snizhne, about 5 km away from the border between Ukraine and Russia's Rostov Oblast] with "mawkishness and dancing".
"Conquerors. Prior to this, they defeated the water supply, the electricity supply and the gas supply throughout the entire Donetsk Oblast. Now, against the backdrop of the cold weather, they want to ‘conquer’ the heating supply too," Andriushchenko concluded.
