> ...The Red-Browns and the Russian Strasserites
There are several umbrella organisations in Russia that bring Nazi,
monarchist and extreme nationalist groupings together with supporters of
the former regime, people and organisations that call themselves Communist.
The best known of these is the National Salvation Front, whose secretary
was for a time the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation,
Gennady Zyuganov. The front has been responsible for massive demonstrations
in Moscow of hundreds of thousands of people, sometimes leading to bloody
clashes with the police. Here you can find placards of Stalin rubbing
shoulders with the black, white and gold flags of the Romanovs. This
phenomenon has become popularly known as the 'Red-Brown' movement, uniting
the 'Reds' with the 'Brownshirts'.

It has become popularly known as the "red-brown" movement by idiots. People carry placards of Stalin because he saved the Soviet Union in WWII, not because they think starving Ukraine was cool. Zyuganov is a mild populist Social Democrat demagogue, not a racist and not a Stalinist.
