Victory day parade organised in Dublin by the Russian supporters

People can print any old lies on a pamphlet.

It's called freedom and being in a free country. Let them have their façade. They're only fooling themselves. Best ignored.

Flyer could be fake but Russian speaking in Ireland FB group has the announcement about it all right.

Then again, celebrating Victory Day against Nazis in which so many nationalities took part and supporting Russia (with Russia not mentioned in either leaflet or on FB) isn’t that straightforward to ban as technically they are very different things.

Is the industrial estate not privately owned ? Surely the estate management could and would disallow that.

Agree with this Jim. I cannot emphasise enough how much I fundamentally disagree with this group. But I don't think they should be banned from being allowed to peacefully assemble like anyone else.

OP, it's possible for these Russians to organise this parade in Dublin because we're not Russia. I think it'd be very hypocritical to ban them from doing so while we rightly all condemn Russia for engaging in similar tactics.

Let's laugh at them and make our own informed opinions. See how small a group they are and disagree with them. But you can't ban them because you disagree with them.

It's also good to show that people with these views exist so that we don't get complacent. So that the majority can acknowledge they exist rather than block them off and pretend they don't.

There's no mute or block button in real life and their right to assemble should be respected. Not that they themselves have to be respected or that they'd afford us the same respect.

But because we disagree with them, doesn't mean we can sensor them. In fact, I think it's even more dangerous as it allows certain groups to grow underground and slowly bubble away, gradually increasing their influence in people's mindset.

Shine a light on them, allow them to be seen, and have a rational and logical approach as to why they're wrong. When we forget, society gets lax and they grow.

The usual leftie activists, no one else Irish will be at it.

Don't give them any attention.

It doesn't work like that,

Russian don't think logically the best approach to situations is shining light and thinking you can educate them,

Don't think we will get any volunteers for that ,

The roads of the WIE are public. Still and all, it's a strange location.

This is a traditional national day for Russians going back to WWII, one they rightfully celebrate as the western allies still celebrate VE day.

Howevvvvvvvvver.

There is a strong and pretty much irredeemable bigoted ultra-nationalism attached to all the celebrating Russians do. In other words, it is seldom not at someone else's expense.

So, this event should be discretely policed, but if the slightest bit of anti-Ukranian activity or symbology emerges, it should be shut down and dispersed immediately.

This is the same crowd that's being driving jeeps through the fields around the curragh

And if it was a parade of full nazi era uniforms and symbols with all the music and the banners, where would you be drawing the line then?

For some reason these clowns using an industrial estate as a venue for whatever reminds me of Rudi Giuliani's hilarious misadventure into a suburban retail development.

🤣

They will be travelling to Kildare after, there will no doubt be flags and symbols displayed and like the incident in Swords last year, shortly after the outbreak of the war, there will be potential for hateful and intimidatory messaging and symbology.

So whether it's a few dozen or a few hundred, this event must be policed and any Russian nationalist carry-on snuffed out.

Stripping someone of citizenship and deportation can be overturned by the Supreme Court and I'm guessing would be in this case?

By handing out citizenship to so many foreigners in the last three decades we've inherited a panoply of ethnic grudges and agendas we don't necessarily share or sympathise with. That can be messy.
