Fake Russian Soldiers 'Guard' Trump's Hollywood Star
 
I think this is inspired. They also had a Russian flag:

The Hill:

A pair of fake Russian soldiers stood guard at the remains of President Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star, days after a man destroyed it with a pickaxe.
The two stonefaced men, dressed in olive green uniforms and thick hats, were spotted "protecting" the star on Hollywood Boulevard this week.

Cheers,

Of course they are fake “Russian soldiers” since most of the Soviet soldiers were from the other 14 republics and so the most to die in combat.

Yup, plenty of Soviet soldiers came from the sister republics. This was also true of Napoleon's army in 1812, though he killed his share of Frenchmen as well. These ones are Russian in that they're carrying a Russian flag, though their uniforms to me look a bit Soviet.
There's an immense Soviet statue in Almaty saying "Comrades, you cannot retreat because behind lies Moscow." Why on Earth should a Kazakh care about that?

Cheers,
John
