President Volodymyr Zelensky said that during the final week of winter, Russia launched over 1,720 attack drones, nearly 1,300 guided aerial bombs, and more than 100 missiles of various types against Ukraine.
Spring is coming and Ukraine is going to fuck russia up bad if russia does not agree to stop fighting…
For so many years, russians have been portrayed as tough in Hollywood films and video games, but it should have been Ukrainians all along. In the USSR, all but the people at the top were oppressed or restricted in some way, but at least russians were not viewed as second-class (unless they were Jewish, among other things). Meanwhile the people of Ukraine (and those of other Soviet republics) had to deal not only with the Nazis but also with the Soviets, both of whom viewed them as inherently inferior.
From what I have understood, Russia has generally stolen a lot of Ukraine’s history and culture and passed it off as theirs. The word Rus refers to the vikings who actually founded Kyiv and whom many Ukrainians descend from. Even their names are Slavic versions of Norse names, which I didn’t know until relatively recently.
It is absolutely crazy what goes on over there. I am not an expert on the subject, but have seen, heard and read enough to understand how absolutely unhinged that country is right now. Most reasonable Russians who could afford it have left a long time ago and those who are still there have to witness their children’s education being turned into a brainwashing camp that will turn their kids into canon fodder the moment they come of age. It is so fucked, man.
Soviets did make a habit of crediting any achievements of any people within the USSR to the generalized “soviet” people, which, by default, meant russians. Not that there weren’t smart scientists and resilient warriors that were actually russian (gotta acknowledge the truth), but a lot of positive things people usually associate with Soviets were achieved by what was ethnic minorities at the time.
what a bullshit lie, everyone had equal rights under USSR, we even got ukrainian as leader of USSR, ukrainians played major role in innovation and arts. This bullshit should stop, USSR was dissolved due to russian nationalism not formed
No my point is the entire point of existence of USSR was anti nationalism and the moment nationalist sentiment got up it collapsed.
I stand with ukraine against russia and all but pretending that ukrainians werent integral part of USSR and were somehow occupied by russians is farce.

While true, we don’t need to be reminded that THAT Italian Job movie exists.

Yeah, even recently, Russia has removed or minimized references to Kyivan Rus in school books.

Your argument is like saying that if Candace Owens has power, there’s no systemic anti-Black racism in the US.
