A Nazi swastika symbol spelled out in human beings, just one of the many over-the-top features of this fantasy-land production from Crimea
The whole thing is so fantastic and so far from any part of the truth that it would be comical – except that it is being fed to the Russian public as representing the truth about Ukraine. Lying in general – and particularly about Ukraine – has become the Kremlin’s new obsession.

Today in Russia something scary happened. On live television, broadcast nationally, live from occupied Crimea in the city of Sevastopol, a musical Olympic-esque ceremony and rock concert was performed at a motorcycle expo attempting to depict Ukraine and its revolution in ways worst described by Russian state propaganda to date. The performance, broadcast nationally on the Rossiya-2 network, was the most egregious example to date of Russia’s attempts to instill fear in the population, glorify terrorists operating in the east, and ring in the new era of Soviet restoration. Russian media described it as “patriotic.”
What exactly happened and is this an exaggeration?
