Below is a YouTube video about the Circassian genocide committed by the Russian Empire. At 15:07 I noticed that the Russian Tsarist flag faded into the black background and was replaced by the hammer and sickle, despite the fact that Karl Marx, and every other communist including Lenin, Stalin, Kautsky, Luxembourg e.c.t, opposed and absolutely hated Tsarism and Russian colonialism. This is frightening because it's an example of actual brainwashing. It implies that the Russian Empire was socialist/communist and also implies that communism/socialism are uniquely Russian ideologies as opposed to international ideologies.
