Those who call themselves deputies of the “People’s Council of the DNR” have adopted a “law” establishing the title “City of labor merit”.
It is noted that such an “honorary” title will be awarded to “settlements the residents of which have ensured uninterrupted production of military and civilian products at enterprises… since May 11, 2014”.
Traditionally, self-proclaimed “deputies” speculatively turned to the topic of World War II for separatist propaganda. In addition to the cities that preserved the remnants of the economy under the Russian occupation, it was decided to call settlements the residents of which “showed mass labor heroism during the Great Patriotic War” “cities of labor glory”.

Sounds like the Moskali occupation bandits are very proud of Ukraine. Yes, Ukraine fought nazis then and nazis now.
Sounds exactly like USSR speak, all the old shite regurgitated to brainwash the masses.
Next will be the huge posters of heroic workers, working for the good of the state fighting against the evil democracies of the West.
Fight it as much as you like, the people will get pissed off when they have nothing, yet the warlord gangsters are riding around in their shiny Mercedes.
Hopefully they people will keep a few RPGs hidden away for when he moment is right.
“Sounds exactly like USSR speak…”
My first thought after reading the title.
Next they will be calling themselves “Heroes of the Soviet Union”.
Maybe the people will see right through this Soviet-style inculcation?
We here most certainly have promptly seen the brainwash attempt.
Whoever has set foot in ANY East European country, has been thoroughly shocked after witnessing the “Cities of labor merit” there.
What next, a 5 year plan and collectivization?
