MOSCOW, Oct. 7 (UPI) — More than 10,000 members of Russia’s Nashi youth movement gathered in Moscow Sunday to wish President Vladimir Putin a happy birthday.
Itar-Tass reported the youths set up more than 1,000 Russian flags around the Taras Shevchenko embankment for the presidential birthday celebration, which carried the motto “Congratulate the President, Congratulate the Country.”
The signs on t-shirts with stylized Putin’s portrait read: ‘Our Choice!’
A representative for the movement, Kristina Potupchik, said the Nashi group was giving Putin a large “blanket of peace” adorned with symbols from many of Russia’s ethnic cultures.
“Nashi want this blanket to be a symbol of the multinational and grand Russia,” Potupchik said.
The youth movement also asked all major Russian churches to pray for the president’s health during his birthday and created a giant birthday card to present to Putin.
The Russian news agency said that card was available Sunday for anyone to send birthday greetings to Putin.
Aftermath News 
The Kremlin’s neo-Soviet brainwashed street hooligans who are worshiping Putin as some sort of Russian god, are heading down the same destructive path as the Nazi’s Hitler Youth.
Blind subservience to a ruthless tyrant such as KGB Putin, the butcher of Georgia, will result in the same eventual ruination of Russia, as was the case in Nazi Germany — once an ally of Stalin’s Bolshevik ‘peoples paradise’ from 1939 until late June 1941.
The civilized world will economically isolate the Moscow dictatorship, which will also hurt Russians citizens who oppose the brutal Putin régime, but in any repressive tyranny the good always suffer before the evil ones are brought to justice.
