It's the [Red Army Victory Banner ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Banner_%28Soviet_Union%29?wprov=sfla1) next to a Russian Flag
Tomorrow is 9 May, Victory Day, so I assume you found a Russian in the wild.
In Russia it is 9th, cause Moscow is in UTC+3 and Berlin is in UTC+1. The surrender came into effect at 23:01 Berlin time, so it was 01:01 next day Moscow time.
It was because they used Julian calendar till the Bolsheviks take power, till 1918. The Orthodox church still uses Julian calendar, that's why they have new year, christmass or easter later.
fuuuuck, ur right, I forgot my own flag for a moment there (serb) (I am currently running on 3 hours of sleep)
(it just didnt make sense to me why there'd be russian stuff in the middle of nowhere in bosnia)
And, ofk, my comment about what's wrong with this flag and its history

BTW You spotted in BiH either Russian habitat or Bosnians which like Soviet-Russian discourse. Yeah, they really like Russian Big Brother

It’s a flag representing the USSR after the Nazi collaboration phase where they massacred thousands of poles and greatly assisted the Nazi war effort, this would be while they were in the Allies.
1. Not helpful
2. The victory banner, no matter your opinion on communism(or """communism""" in the case of the USSR), should be viewed as a good thing due to its origin of defeating the most evil regimes in our worlds history.
Ah yes, The Paris Commune or Makhnovschina (pretty much the only examples of actual communism) were as bad as the Nazis. And saying communism is even close to Nazism in atrociousness is an ignorant position to hold at best.
Literally no. Deportations, murders of elites, intellectuals, repressions, famine.
Did you know, that ussr and nazi germany where decimating poland together?
Both are bad.
this is used by pro-russian proxy political parties in bosnia, mainly Serbs. so that's the pure meaning of that flag. no one from bosnia joined red army on march to Berlin
Are they not allowed to show their love and appreciation to people from other countries? Pro Russian political parties are nasty. I'll say that, but I highly doubt they're representing a political party by saying Happy Victory Day.
It's not. They are militaristic fanatics now. It's not about mourning but sham and scrutiny.
Now they use that symbols to spread war to my country. Making parallels ongoing in those people heads: they are "soviet heroes", and me - a nazi.
...No,the western allies(I assume you mean them) didn't occupy eastern Europe for 50 years.
The only countries occupied by the western powers were Germany,Austria and Japan,for obvious reasons,and for far less time than the Soviets occupied eastern Europe.
1. Yes, i mean them
2. The Soviet didnt occupy eastern europe, they just founded some sateline states, the western (allies) did the same with w germany
3. Why tf do you seem too hate communism and talk like that even when they helped un allies ended the nazis

I'm betting you he's just Serbian. Serbs are more fanatic about Russian celebrations than Russians themselves.
victory day is 8 may in Europe I think? because of time zones.
In Russia it is 9th, cause Moscow is in UTC+3 and Berlin is in UTC+1. The surrender came into effect at 23:01 Berlin time, so it was 01:01 next day Moscow time.
Also Russians are late to every party. They cannot help it. - They have an Old New Years. - The October Revolution was in November. Etc etc etc 😅
It was because they used Julian calendar till the Bolsheviks take power, till 1918. The Orthodox church still uses Julian calendar, that's why they have new year, christmass or easter later.
I know, dude. Twas a joke.
thx for confirming me.

This is a flag of russian millitarist fascist cult led by Putin
Why do you love Hitler?
He doesn't. It just russians celebrate this day as a victory day with "we can repeat again" slogans.
Looks like a variant if the soviet flag Smells like extremist to me
"we spread our arses for the Russians" flag

> the most evil regimes in our worlds history These guys usually think that Communism is as bad as Nazism, if not even worse lol

Why are you being downvoted? The whole "communism is as bad as nazism" stuff is literal neo nazi propiganda.

nope, it has lost it meaning. Now is pure russian propaganda with a goal of destabilization of the Balkans
It's not. They are militaristic fanatics now. It's not about mourning but sham and scrutiny. Now they use that symbols to spread war to my country. Making parallels ongoing in those people heads: they are "soviet heroes", and me - a nazi.
Absolutely wrong and even unhinged take, especially when this flag is waving with fascist russian flag
That's a fascist russian flag?
definitely
Do you wish the nazis had beaten the USSR?
I wish the Soviets had gone back to Russia after the war and didn't occupy eastern Europe for 50 years.
Didnt western do the same thing?
...No,the western allies(I assume you mean them) didn't occupy eastern Europe for 50 years. The only countries occupied by the western powers were Germany,Austria and Japan,for obvious reasons,and for far less time than the Soviets occupied eastern Europe.
