Role in the Shturmovik Revolution
The progressive faction was much more effective then the conservative tsarists at spreading their ideas because they over simplified their arguments down to catchy memes. I contrast, conservatives relied on long form 40 minute videos where they tried to have "open and vulnerable" "exploraitons" of complex ideas that rarely attracted new viewers and only confirmed the beliefs of existing conservatives.
Crows
The crow is used in memes as a transition entity that symbolizes death and rebirth. It represents the fear of left and transitioning while conservative.
Frogs
Frogs were common in memes during the revolution because of their symbolism as a transition entity in transitioning from a tadpole to a frog.
- Frog go kva
- This was used as a common demeaning shitpost in response to a conservative statement, usually one that was excessively lengthy. It was used in memes showing an angry conservative character saying that progressives couldn't simply reduce a complex political issue to a meme with a left wing character responding with the phrase.

- Jester frog
- A cartoon frog wearing a jester hat is used as a symbol of theistic absurdity and rejection of the conservative mindset.
