The Z-fascists are not concerned these days with victory over Nazi Germany, but with support for Russia. On Saturday in #Cologne a march was organized by the former AfD politician André Poggenburg and his new right wing party "Aufbruch" (Departure). A thread🧵 1/

Before the march in Cologne, they had a car convoy which started in Leverkusen. There you can also see the front banner of "Aufbruch". It says: "Against transatlantic foreign domination and occupation. For balance with Russia and peace in Europe. Peace, sovereignty, justice" 2/

They want all these things, but not for #Ukraine. One girl even wears a cap of the nazi PMC Wagner. She is not even hiding and shows it to the streamer (Michael Wittwer) who likes to attend pro Russian demonstrations. 3/

Also meet Wjatscheslaw Seewald, born in Siberia, the man with the Stalin portrait. He is actually a right wing extremist and attended the march in Cologne too. He likes the swastika and the German flag upside down. More in German: psiram.com/de/index.php/W… 4/

That German authorities and judiciary do not (want to?) recognize this maskirovka is truly amazing. In addition to Poggenburg, the right-wing extremist and "Aufbruch" politician and Leverkusen city councilor Markus Beisicht was also there. 5/

Similar picture in Frankfurt/Main, where also hundreds of Russia-supporters gathered. One of the posters reads "Thanks to the Soviet soldiers-victors of National Socialism" which sounds unintentionally funny and like Yandex translator. 6/

Many of the posters shown had little to do with commemorating the victory over fascism of Nazi Germany, but were directed against Ukraine or for peace/friendship with today's Russia. 7/

And this is how the event on May 5, 2019 in Frankfurt/Main looked like: 2 big Russia flags,1x Soviet Union and 1x VVN-BdA(antifascist org).The commemoration has degenerated into a nationalistic Russian march, where support for Russia in the fight against Ukraine is advertised. 8/
