As Soviet Victory Flag Raised Over Kherson, Resistance Hunts Collaborators

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Ukrainian resistance fighters in the southern city of Kherson appear set for a guerrilla war against Russian occupiers and local collaborators, as Moscow reportedly prepares to create a puppet "people's republic" in the territory seized by its troops in the opening days of the invasion.

A video emerged from Kherson on Wednesday showing Russian troops raising the Soviet Union "victory flag"—the official symbol of the victory over Nazi Germany during World War Two—at Kherson's eternal flame memorial on the banks of the Dnieper river.

But also on Wednesday, Valery Kuleshov—a local pro-Russian blogger who had reportedly been working with the occupying forces—was shot dead in his car in Kherson by unknown assailants.

Kuleshov's killing appears to be at least the second high-profile assassination of a pro-Russian figure in Kherson since the city was occupied by Russian forces invading from Crimea to the south. Pavel Slobodchikov, another alleged collaborator, was also reported killed in his car in Kherson at the end of March.

1. Guerilla War comes with a cost...

I'm not giving opinion or advice just looking back in history.

The Czech resistance assassinated Reinhard Heydrich, a high ranking NAZI in 1942.

It was a symbolic victory, killing a main architect of the holocaust.

But was it worth it?

After the assassination, the Nazis murdered 5000 Czechs as reprisals and chose to make an example out of the village of Lidice.

They removed every resident, every man, woman and child and killed all the men and sent the women and children to concentration camps.

Then they razed the village.

The dude who replaced Heydrich was also a butcher, no different than Heydrich.

2. Assassination or execution?

Whatever it is, I hope there's lots more.

3. They may take Kherson, but can they keep Kherson?

A well organized resistance can bleed the Russians and their collaborators to death.

4. With the Russian atrocities, the Ukrainians will not be kind to collaborators.
