Could be but this is even worse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union Why would anyone register a domain with such extension is beyond me unless they are completely brainwashed by the regime. Here is example of a typical "news" site from that list: sevastopol.su You can use Google Translate to understand the skewed picture that is being tried to shown to the local people.

  Unless it is joke or some sort of museum or history website, using Soviet symbols is extremely frowned upon in the countries that used to belong to the union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bans_on_communist_symbols https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bans_on_communist_symbols

    I'm sure that is true and sister reply rightfully pointed out the parallels to the nazi dictatorship. I personally find both rather distasteful, but I think that ironic usage would very well fall in the "joke" territory.

The Soviet Union lasted for some 70 years, not everything was bad. For instance I quite like their cinema and science fiction children shows. My point being, someone raised under the Soviet Union would still be able to find a few things to look back with nostalgia.

  I can understand this yeah, but why would you register your new legimate business under such extension. Sure everything was probably not bad but do they have Soviet Union hairstyle salon or what :)
