So many young Russians were recently caught on video as they performed a ‘patriotic’ flash mob in support of the Ukrainian invasion.
The young Russian students could be seen chanting and saluting in unity as they all donned the classic Z war symbol that could be seen printed across Russian tanks, aircraft, and other armored vehicles.
Many around the world are now reacting to the chilling footage that has disturbing echoes of the Nazi regime.
In particular, many felt strongly that they were seeing a modern reenactment of the Nazi Youth under the regime of Adolf Hitler.
The video shows the entire group that hails from Kazan screaming at the top of their lungs while donning white-toned overcoats that also had a black Z on the front.
In the same way, they could be seen chanting ‘Forward Russia’ and ‘Russia for Peace’ while performing at a shopping mall.
Many noticed how the incident took place at the exact same time when Russian forces began to shell schools as well as hospitals located in Ukraine’s neighborhoods.
One German journalist has gone on to reveal how the children were forced to take part in the startling rally and could only be allowed to miss it if they had an appropriate letter that would explain their missing attendance.
The letter Z is now being looked upon as a symbol for Russian war propaganda that was first seen on Russian tanks that made their way towards Ukraine’s border, clearly signaling the start of the war.
Now, it has been a common finding on cars, signs, and clothing too as well as badges worn by Russian troops.
It is still unclear what exactly the letter Z stands for as many dub Russian President Vladimir Putin as the modern-day or 21st Century Hitler.
