"From now on, the business card of every employee of the Russian embassy must honour the Ukrainian heroes. And everyone who writes a letter to the embassy must think of the victims of Russian aggression and the heroes of Ukraine"

Mayor of Vilnius also had this painted on the street in view of Russian embassy (see pic #1)

i initially thought that 2 heroes had died

We need to pressure the 5 cities in US with russian consulates to do something like this. DC, Houston, Seattle, San Francisco, New York
Stateurname
Do stuff like this at all Russian embassies and consuletes but with diff street addresses/names. "Putin likes deek up pupe shooter avenue".

In Hungary the goverment want a Chinese university (and an obvious spy hub). Opposition mayor named the road leading there:

The road of uighur martyrs.

Soon every Russian embassy is going to be on zalisky Ave.

My brother & his wife are on their way to Vilnius rn. I'm not comfortable w/ them being so close. I usually don't worry about his travels

There is a petition to do this in Warsaw, too.

In Denmark too. Just Ukraine street, but same idea

Helsinki proposed to change the street where the Russian embassy is on to "Volodymyr Zelenskyi Street".

There's a municipal initiative but that means nothing yet. https://www.kuntalaisaloite.fi/fi/aloite/25487

The Iranians changed the street name the British Embassy is on in Tehran from Winston Churchill St to Bobby Sands St in 1981.

The British then moved the entrance to the Embassy to another street.

People are dying and we are changing street names. Do you think Putin will care or even know?? These are empty gestures.
Deshalope
USSR and this bullshit attempt at USSR v2 have affected a lot of people. This isn't just about Putin's feelings.
jrntn
If Putin didn't care about the optics of his war, he wouldn't be shutting down independent media in Russia and arresting protesters

In Riga (Latvia) the Russian embassy is now located on the "Ukrainian Independence Street".
DanimalRC
Even Dr. Doom thinks Putin is overplaying things.

I've got a horrible feeling I'm going to waste a lot of money posting them letters from overseas laughing at their new address
effinooguy
"Dear idiots, I bet your new address makes you feel pretty stupid now..."
PrivateDuds
They did it in Prague, Boris Nemtsov square. The embassy used old street name and then changed the main gate to another street.
ekzeko
The russian chivalric tales of the Bogatyr all stem from kievan russ, and Kiev, Odessa, and Sevastopol were all made Hero cities of-
ekzeko
the USSR. Renaming a street to that can easily be repurposed to fit the Russian Mythos. It's not a great Jab.

Ukrainian Heroes is though

USPS could use our help, win-win

for that we need are government to spot trying to kill it off.

Also true. God I hate this corrupt pos

€0.39 for a stamp? In Ireland, it's €1.25. Soon it'll be cheaper to go into Dublin to personally deliver dogshit to the Russian Embassy.
Seethreepeeoh
Acktsually, it's €2.20 to Lithuania. Rises to 7 quid to send a packet of sunflower seeds. (Emotionally, it's still 27p to me!)
EtherealRune
Mate now my mental picture is someone just holding their dog up against a letter slot at the embassy

Denmark want's to do the same thing. While funny, it doesn't really do anything USEFUL for Ukraine.
sophware
If I ever were to say something so foolish, I hope it would at least be accompanied by a link to something that does something useful.

Counter-propaganda. May inform people of the situation that would otherwise have little ways to know.
ShartistFormerlyKnownAsSPCR
I think weve learned that PsyOps, mythos and morale play very important roles in winnin a war. This demoralizes Russia and emboldens Ukraine
StudioDerpster
Punching dictators and toadies in the proverbial dick (i.e. ego) seems useful
otiumCatulli
Piercing the propaganda curtain is the only way Ukraine can win

Knowing that others support you is amazingly useful when you are going through hell.
Like2Fox
Are you sure about that?
largebTraveler
Yes. We think what we are, it to me, is sticking it to Putin , it shows our support and outrage. I’m just saying
BeerAndChips
I disagree: one of Putin's motivations is to restore Russia's prestige and position as a superpower. Anything that pokes holes in that pride
BeerAndChips
... tells him that he's failing and that we're not scared of him, or his attempt at recreating a Russian empire. This will piss him off.
