VELYKA DANYLIVKA, Ukraine—In the ruins of Mariupol, on a central square that
Russian occupation authorities have renamed after Lenin’s Young Communist
League, a senior Kremlin official earlier this month unveiled the statue of an
old woman waving a red Soviet flag.

The image, replicated in similar statues, frescoes and billboards across Russia
and occupied Ukraine, celebrates Anna Ivanova, the resident of this village on
the outskirts of Kharkiv, as the symbol of Russia’s just cause in the war.
