It's 2019 and you have kids in a militia who will laugh at you if you don't like Stalin. Unironically based.
Fucking horseshit, have you actually watched any material THEY make? they outright state that they're sick of Russia's unreliability and lack of actual support. if you're going to point out people like fucking Strelkov, you can just go to fucking Zig Forums, anyone who does their research knows that people like Strelkov have no influence and the vast majority of those people were either removed or left after a few months of war.
So you say… except that one of the biggest and most famed groups in Donbass was a Christian Communist brigade, the majority of whom were made up of people born and/or raised in the USSR, such as an Pushtun (afghanistan) man, who was raised in a soviet orphanage after the mujahedeen killed his parents and who outright stated that he wanted to repay the USSR and its people for what they did for him and afghanistan by removing the fascist scum in Ukraine.
You're just spouting cherry-picked nonsense ignoring people like french and spanish volunteers who cite the soviet union and its fight against fascism in Spain and during WW-2 as part of their motivation, or for the former East German man who, despite being a successful business man, dropped everything to fight and help Donbass. Or the sniper from Holland. These examples can go on and on.
Horse-shit
Hardly, they're the more industrialized part of Ukraine, and they've been TRADING with what they have with Belorus and Russia. The majority of Aid from Russia is voluntary materials provided by Russians, not the government who are, at best, sending food.
For your Babushka carrying a portrait or a 50-year old Afghan vet it has nothing to do with the USSR and more to do with daddy Stalin making Rossiya stronk.

I'm going to shoot the potential "muh red brown alliance" point down right now, k.
Look at how the Yellow Vests are seizing the means rn
Mate now that Motorola, Zakharchenko, and Givi and dead the entire Donbass governments are more hollow than a Kinder Egg. Most of the popular leaders from the start of the rebellion are dead, and the whole thing is running on fumes.
Is that so father, please show me a good figure of their size, their name, their exploits: I can read Russian so I would love to hear of this because I haven't heard a fucking thing of such a group ever existing.
Considering I'm am talking about thousands of nutjob Cossacks and you are bringing up individual rando examples, I'm not the one cherry picking here lad…
Lamo, "at best the Donbass has to rely on food from Russia", did you actually read that? Also a country that needs to rely on about ~20k tonnes of humanitarian aid a year is not doing well mate: especially for the place's small population.
But don't let facts get in the way of your feelings.
Yellow vets don't have anti-communist slavic fascist organisations fighting with them.
Support for the People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk against the Ukrainian fascist
They beat Action Francaise members in the streets after a bit.
I used to follow the situation there closely, a few people I was acquainted with were there for a while. I'd say it has plenty of revolutionary potential.
Those who are serious about fighting are stilll there today. Probably one of the most famous is an American named Russel "Texas" Bentley, he's retired from the front lines but still actively works to support and help out.

Yeah but most GJs are socialist of one tendency or another and they are heavily against the more rightwing and racist elements around them. Iirc there's a video of leftist GJs beating up other GJs holding racist signs.
