A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.
Slava Ukraini!

This is a deep dive from the Russian point of view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70RmF0rPj9o
None you were probably taught this history.
My understanding is that the Ukrainians were never considered to be Russians by the Russians themselves. They were the “Khokholy”, which roughly translates to “tufties”, something like a cowlick. A corollary would be Manhattenites regarding Kentuckians as hillbillies. During times when the Russians controlled Ukraine, the Ukrainians were discriminated against and millions of them were starved to death by the Soviet Russians in the 1930s.
ReplyDeleteIf Ukrainians ever felt affinity towards the Russians, that ended this year, forever.
