On Sunday, 27 October, an extensive police raid was conducted in Troitsk, Chelyabinsk Oblast, Russia, during which approximately 20 Romani people were “preventively” detained. Video footage taken by eyewitnesses who are local residents shows police officers leading a group of Romani people into a large police van.

    Because they aren’t leftists. They are nothing more than Russian shills, or idiot fucking college kids that just read Marx for the first time and think they have all the answers and/or trying to be edgy.

      I’m not sure it’s accurate to say they’re not leftists. They may be dumb as bricks and a lot of them are outright authoritarians, but they’re still nominally leftists whether the rest of us like it or not. Even Stalinists are leftists, just not exactly mainstream or sane ones
