    The russian branch of Esquire magazine recently published the photo below of a soldier of OMON (SWAT basically) during the "March of Dissent".

    The parliament has suggested that the image is falsified (which the magazine and the photographer countered). Also, in true Russian government style, certain politicians claim the magazine is working to damage the "image" of Russia.

    This is really sad and disturbing, especially considering the immense and horrible damage done to Russia by the SS.

    Isn't the White Power skinhead movement really strong in Russia? I know some of the "gangs" have even got in parliment. Perhaps they're behind this?

    Capitalism is so fucking stupid. No government dares to recognize such cases of people looking for support from right wing movements. I guess if there is one "European" country to experience a revolutionary period, then it is Russia.
    “Where the worker is regulated bureaucratically from childhood onwards, where he believes in authority, in those set over him, the main thing is to teach him to walk by himself.” - Marx

    "It is illogical and incorrect to reduce everything to the economic [socialist] revolution, for the question is: how to eliminate [political] oppression? It cannot be eliminated without an economic revolution... But to limit ourselves to this is to lapse into absurd and wretched ... Economism." - Lenin

    "[During a revolution, bourgeois democratic] demands [of the working class] ... push so hard on the outer limits of capital's rule that they appear likewise as forms of transition to a proletarian dictatorship." - Luxemburg

    “Well, then go forward, Tower of Bebel! [August] Bebel is one of the most brilliant representatives of scientific international socialism. His writings, speeches and works make up a great tower, a strong arsenal, from which the working class should take their weapons. We cannot recommend it enough… And if the [International] deserves to be named Tower of Bebel... well, then we are lucky to have such a Tower of Bebel with us.” - Vooruit

    What is the collar for? You know, the big fan thing behind that cop's head?
    To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.

    It's to give them full body protection against projectiles and other weapons. Not a bad idea.
