      Yes. The guy was a government official from one of the separatist Donbas regions. He was disillusioned with how corrupt or inefficient the new government is and how they weren’t respecting people’s demands and think they all would’ve been shot by the kind Vladimir Illych. I believe the guy’s name or moniker is also Lenin lol

          Bloody kids fetishishing french bourgeois decadence and attacking good proletarian words

          “person’s name, especially a nickname or alias,” 1849, said to be originally a hobo term (but monekeer is attested in London underclass from 1851), of uncertain origin; perhaps from monk (monks and nuns take new names with their vows, and early 19c. British tramps referred to themselves as “in the monkery”).
