What time is it in Moscow, Tovarishch?
~Voice of America is pretty much banned in Russia and Eastern Ukraine by Putin while we keep letting him speak here through RT channel.~
I might be extremely lucky to be able to access VoA as we speak:) My ISP must be reported to commissar immeadeately!
~They’re leaving Ukraine because they’re Russians who were put there by the Soviet Union as a Soviet Fifth Column and they don’t belong in Ukraine in the first place.~
...And should have expected this thread is going to attract the whole specter of ‘experts’ in East European ethnography too:)
What time is it in Moscow, Tovarishch?
It is not ethnography, it is fact that Lenin and Stalin politically displaced Chechens after WWII, Germans of the Volga were transfered to Kazakstan with only one suitcase allowed, and Russians were moved to Ukraine too. This Putin Policy is just an extention of this, a leverage of this tool he inherited from the Soviets.
When people are being fired on...hungry and afraid...they will go to where the welcome is. Putin’s been sending in caravans of food and medical assist. for sometime now...where Kiev stopped assisting even with the little they sent...and that was for political posturing more than assistance.
No matter what news source you use it will be trampled on by those who only accept articles bashing Russia and or protecting Kiev......but Europe and Germany continue doing business with Putin, it’s just not public information as it certainly won’t be reported in our MSM.
