Russian thugs bully and threaten kids for having anti-Putin stickers in occupied eastern Ukraine.


Fast forward to 9:10 to see the kids being terrorized by the thugs running the occupation. But watch it all, it's an amazing documentary. Europe is going to really suffer if Putin's rampage is allowed to continue

with the pro-separatists...."How do you like them independence apples?"

Perhaps they will be able to reply with their chattering teeth, perhaps not.

I didn't really understand who was who as far as Russia and Ukraine are concerned, but pretty much all I got from this video was a peek at a bunch of power hungry thugs. Almost made a trip to Ukraine a few years ago. i didn't have this picture in mind. It's really gone to hell in a hand basket, and thuggish brutes are running the show.

And, do they even know what the fook a "fascist" is? I'm not sure I do; but I have serious doubts that they do either. Sort of like all the fox/neocons in this country calling people they don't agree with "Nazi's", "socialists", blah, blah blah. So easy to just label someone, and then let the hate flow.

front page of DU, you used the video owners' titles. Just sayin'.........

Russian thugs (pro-separatists eastern Ukrainians) bully and threaten kids (I've seen worse on Facebook) for having anti-Putin stickers (and cell phone pictures in Right Sector demonstration...you do know who the Right Sector is, don't you?) in occupied (??? still eastern Ukrainians) eastern Ukraine.

The poor Russian wantabee pictured above had a blink of the eye moment of fame. You really need to re-watch this video. You realize there is a civil war going on? You think Russia would produce a group as poorly organized as this featured one? They were on a scavenger hunt for weapons. Really, take a break.

No Freedom of Screech allowed under Russian control. It'd never fly here in the States for a hot second, but apparently it's okey-dokey there. Sick.

No surprise there. They're not all that different from the other mainstream media sources when it comes to the truth.
