Pro-Russian Separatists Are Flying the Confederate Flag
12th June 2014
The self-proclaimed leaders of the so-called people’s republic of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine are taking some tips from the U.S., but in a way that most people will not find palatable: They adopted a modified version of the Confederate Flag. It holds no meaning in Eastern Europe, so to whom are these Russian-backed fighters trying to appeal?
Perhaps they’re trying to qualify for the Southern Poverty Law Center to designate them as a hate group.
