      as well as left wing activists/communists in eastern Ukraine

      the Russian response has not in any way relieved the political suppression of the left wing in east ukraine tho, lol.

            So? Its clearly more convinoent for them to be part of russia. The wanted to be anexed for a lpng time but putin kept refusing. And even if you are as uncharitable as you are being. At least the partoes are not banned.

              So?

              they're not communist republics. that's a pretty important takeaway from the question of if donetsk is a communist republic.

              i seriously doubt the capacity for people to politically organize in a warzone under martial law even if left-wing parties aren't formally banned

                They may or may not be i dont live there. But at least they pretend to be. At worst they are just gaining some cheap political advantage by asosiating themselves to those ideas. Saying that is the same level of supression as a goberment that bans parties left of hittler is disingenious.
