Ah, the Nashi. How the pendulum of history swings. I wonder what colour their uniform shirts are? Brown and black would seem to have been taken.

It's a conspiracy, the USSR will be back.


In fact it never left comrades.

Is this the reason why I can't stop muttering "Comrade Vhukanov'" To myself in a fake Russian accent?

Aw come on guys, don't take the .su so seriously. There's still a lot of weird backwards nostalgia (think Ostalgie as in Germany) that isn't really a desire to get back to the soviet times but more just remembering the novel pieces of that society.

As far as Nashi, I've said it before and I'll say it again - I definitely don't like them, but I far prefer them to the much, much scarier skinhead youth organizations which are very widespread and very violent in Russia. I don't support the Nashi politically in any way, but I generally approve of their anti-fascist efforts.
