If you listen to his declaration of war speech, Putin says that he's a 
White not a Red. His stated goal is to return the southern and eastern 
regions foolishly given to Ukraine in 1922 by the wicked Bolsheviks to 
Holy Mother Russia.

> No return to 1947!

This should read: No return to 1914!

> All hands for the restoration of 1917

But which of the rival faction of the Reds should we support in 2022?
