People carry red flags (click here) and banners as they take part in the Immortal Regiment march during the Victory Day military parade in Moscow on May 9, 2015. Russian President Vladimir Putin presided over a huge Victory Day parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Soviet win over Nazi Germany, amid a Western boycott of the festivities over the Ukraine crisis.
The flag to the left reflects the failed Soveit Union and the colors of the failed Russian Empire. The black, gold and white colors are from the Russian Empire. The flag raising is for propaganda of Victory Day.

Russian soldiers (click here) have begun raising Soviet-era flags in recently occupied areas of Ukraine. On April 19 in the southern city of Kherson, troops from a Rosgvardia police unit hoisted the red "banner of victory" up the main flagpole in the city's "Alley of Glory," a park dedicated to the memory of locals who fought in the Red Army during the Second World War.
In the runup to Vladimir Putin's February 24 invasion of Ukraine, Russian domestic media frequently made light of Western claims that the Russian president was seeking to reestablish the Soviet Union. However, when the "banner of victory" was raised in Kherson, Kremlin-controlled television channels were quick to praise the development.
During its noon news broadcast on April 20, Russia's First Channel featured a laudatory segment that began: "May 9th is fast approaching, and the red flag under which fascism was crushed in the 20th century again flutters above Kherson's Alley of Glory. It is a symbol of the great feat of the Soviet people, one which local residents again recall with a special feeling."...
China is probably on the same page as Russia and they are looking to a global conflict that involves nuclear weapons. There is no more being friendly with communist countries. They are toxic to the world order and will kill at will if they believe they can attain their goal. Putin has already declared war. The "talks" are stalemated with no compromise from Russia. Russia will not be hemmed in.
China holds a great deal of value in old wars, old enemies and old desired victories. The children of communists believe they can do better than their ancestors.
