Great idea. It gives context to what Russia stands for.
Good stuff. Let them know what they are.
This is soulcrushing when you think about it… and thats why its important
Ew, why the fuck do they have soviet memorials?
They should’ve destroyed them years ago!
what car is it, very old BMW?
Unfortunately we will never see something like this in front of the Soviet Memorial in Vienna, because putin will never allow the Austrian puppies to do it.
Lost family the same way…
The sign says: “In this vehicle in Irpin, Ukraine fleeing civilians were shot by the Russian army.”
I saw the soviet monuments in Berlin with my own eyes. It’s not about the memory of the fallen, it’s just another point of russian imperialism, it’s only necessary to say: it’s here, that’s why it’s our territory. Completely demolishing them would be a great solution, but instead they can be made completely apolitical, without russian words, without quotes from stalin and stars…
For the people hating on the soviet memorial, please do bear in mind that it is a memorial to commemorate the war-dead from WW2, a lot of whom were Ukrainian. In fact, Ukrainians made up a large portion of the red army. The red army of the 1940’s were fighting Nazi’s, just as the Ukrainian army are fighting modern-day Nazi’s today. Their sacrifices during WW2 are important, even if the union they represented turned into the evil it sought to destroy. For that reason, the memorial should not be removed.
However, putting this car in front of it is very valid, and serves as a poignant and moving reminder of what the Soviet Union turned into, and why it must be defeated.
They should replace monument with a tank with this car and if anyone still have lenins or stalins statue – it should be replaced with toilet.
Are there really > 200 bullet impacts on a *civilian* car?! Some of them pretty big?
That’s – I don’t have words for that.
Rape of Berlin happened and they have soviet monument in Berlin. WTF
Is that the one with the dog and father?
There was (is?) another car from a fleeing family in the Mauer Museum, also in Berlin. I was there weeks after the orcs started their invasion, it hit me like nothing else. I didn’t take any photos as: 1 – it felt wrong to do so, and 2 – that shot up civilian family car is etched into my brain
Time to rebrand that Soviet memorial
Putin thinks killing churches, hospitals and all the innocent people is a sign of strength. He keeps underestimating what real patriotism is, and what they’re doing to hold these Bullies off.
