Russian "sepratists" armored column flying a war banner with the face of Jesus Christ. This is something I have never imagined would happen in my lifetime. There is deep significance here.
Are you sure that wasn't a picture of Che Guevara?
I posted a much larger version. Nope, not Che.
There was an article I read today somewhere where one of the men in this group, it seems, had a Che tattoo on his chest or some such. He could be referring to that.

Are you sure it wasn't the Zigzag Man? Most of these dirty hippie reporters can't tell the difference. I sometimes think the hipsters with the Che tattoo thought they were getting a Zigzag tattoo. And, ironically, Zigzag does have a Crimean origin.
In the 19th Century, during the battle of Sevastopol, a French soldier (also known as a Zouave) had his clay pipe broken by a bullet. He had the brilliant idea of rolling his tobacco in a piece of paper torn from a bag of gunpowder.
In 1894, the Braunstein Brothers perfected the process of interleaving papers in a zig-zag manner and introduced a cigarette paper booklet under the name Zig-Zag®. In 1900, Zig-Zag gained international recognition when they were awarded a gold medal at the Universal Exposition in Paris.
For over 100 years the image of Le Zouave has been part of all Zig-Zag cigarette papers as a tribute to that creative soldier. Today, Le Zouave and Zig-Zag are known throughout the world as a premium cigarette paper.
