>>16622927The genocide was happening in Ukraine since 2015. Ban on language, ban on cultural ties etc etc is in fact an act of genocide
If kids are forced to pick up an alien(Kiev was a Russian speaking city whole its hisotry, and all Ukrainian-Russian great minds, like Gogol or Verrnadsky, were Russian speaking, btw Vernadsky - a prominent Kiev professor back then - was butthurt about commies pushing ukrainization in 1930s) lagnuage, if its eradicated from schools and media, that means you basically will have no work, no career if speak "wrong" languge - that's it.
And the fact is that nationalistic Ukraine push their western narrative onto whole country, incl russian speaking east, north and south.
reality is: the "Ukraine" is an artificial country created by commies in 1917-1991
They even pray differently in east and west of "Ukraine", they have different WW2 heroes, they are very very un-unitary and in later years(even before 2014) they started to base their idenity on agressive ukraine nationalism which itself have its core in supressing russians/russian speakers. Some would say whole ukrainian nationalism is not even existing without Russia, because its main idea is just an antogonism to Russia, without having any sole independent basis.
