The Russians place a statue of "Babushka" with a Soviet flag in

Mariupol is already a rejuvenated city, entirely under Russian control and power.

As such, the Russians have begun to turn Mariupol into a symbol of Moscow, placing in the city the statue of "Babushka", the Russophile grandmother and Russophile of Donbas who refused food from Ukrainian soldiers waving the flag with a hammer and sickle, according to foreign media .

"Babushka" holds the flag of the Soviet Union and a headscarf. The Russians labeled her grandmother "Babushka Z".

But how did the story of "Babushka" come about?

In early April, a video showing an elderly woman saluting Ukrainian soldiers with a Soviet red flag went viral.

Although the soldiers carried Ukrainian flags on the sleeves of their uniforms, the pensioner confused them with Russian troops, telling the soldiers that she and her husband "had been waiting for them, praying for them, for Putin and all the people."

The soldiers took the flag from the elderly woman as they began to give her food. But when the pensioner saw that the troops had placed the flag on the ground and stamped it in the mud, she returned the food.

"She told soldiers that her parents had fought for the Soviet flag in World War II and that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had provoked the invasion of Russia because he could not find a common language with Russian President Vladimir Putin."
