No one asked but I'm going to write anyway πŸ™‚ This photo πŸ‘†πŸ»is from my home town Sevastopol circa 2011. City of 300k people, of which 100k of elderly people with Soviet nostalgia. About 20k are Russian soldiers and Navy officers with families - because of naval base. But ~50% of people were like me and my family - not connected to Navy or interested in politics, with no wish to change anything. Around 2004-2005 Russia started to pump propaganda and sponsor pro-Russian NGOs to promote idea that Sevastopol is not a part of Ukraine (despite international agreements), but should be returned to Russia because of historic reasons. One of vehicles of that propaganda were Night Wolves bikers, they created 'bike-show' full of Soviet symbols near Sevastopol, which was fairly popular, a disney-land of sort. Never attended these, as I never considered USSR any kind of good thing to return, my great-grandfather was in GULAG on fake accusation.
