This isn't brainwashing. It's just old people. You could go to a village in remote Bosnia and find some very old man still thinking Tito is alive. You never know. You might go to an redneck town in USA and find out old people still think Bush is in power. But the grandma was right,their fathers and grandfathers fought against the Germans under the banner. Even if they hated communis,this was the country's flag and it reminds them of the war they won with so much sacrifice.
Degenerative behaviour of an old lady who waves a soviet flag. Soviet flag, a flag which banned islam. made atheism a state religion. demolished churches and mosques. Killed 20 million ukranians through starvation and enslaved half of europe.
Yes of course. I have relatives like this. They are beyond help. You cant do much about them and neither can this soldier. They are on their way out anyway.
And it is a great deal of brainwashing. Its like a cult. I lived trough it. You know those North Koreans that cry like children when the deal leader dies. This is 100% genuine. they are so sad. They would all give their life for the leader without a moments thought. The kids too. The kids would report their own parents if they heard any anti communist sentiment in the home. its a very sick system. Been there done that.
Yee to some nothing go tru they live in the soviet times, got the same with my 80 year old father

The system and ideology is bad,but old people like this grandma are genuinely confused because of old age,not because they are "brain-washed" like you say.
