In an unexpected turn of events, a Russian Orthodox priest argues that Ukraine in reality is a communist, Soviet project and "blue and yellow" is "the new red". Therefore, Ukraine now needs "decommunisation" performed by Russia, apparently replacing the previous obsession with "denazification". Such kind of semantic mess is nothing new in Russia, where Soviet and Orthodox symbolic freely mingles, resulting in holy icons with Stalin, who was in 1930's ordered... prosecution and killing of thousands of Orthodox priests, and demolition of the most prominent historic churches. But it's not like anybody cares about such inconsistencies, you cannot be a proper Russian if you just stick to simple logic.
