There was a soviet joke about a banner "our party is fighting for the title 'communist'". I can not translate it well, but it shows that people sensed the absurdity of the continious slogans about fighting for something they forgot is related to the meaning of the world communism. In the last decades especially, thd pride in building a better future through emancipation was replaced by simply nationalist pride and the pride in ww2 victory.

27 million Russians died. This is a "victory" in the same way a chihuahua is a dog. Nationalism is a brain disease.
