Uhh....Odessa was founded by Catherine the Great in 1794 after the Russians kicked the Ottoman Turks out. Looks like the Ukrainians are just as ignorant as us Americans. Those Ukrainians sure have adopted the latest and greatest trends from the West.

No its just you that is ignorant. Catherine turned her attention to organizing and strengthening a system that she herself had condemned as inhuman. She imposed serfdom on the Ukrainians who had until then been free.

Maybe part of the Great Reset is the destruction of culture and history.

Remember those Bible clingers?…
Confederate soldiers?
Spanish explorers?

This is not an easy call. We have seen attempts to erase history in our own country. It’s a very disturbing trend.

On the other hand, Catherine was a Russian monarch. And Ukraine is no longer part of Russia. In a way, it would be like Virginia taking down an old statue of Queen Anne during the War of 1812.

Quite understandable.

The Ukrainians and Americans don’t know and don’t care. If we had any historical perspective at all, we would never have had anything to do with this conflict.

But then, it was never about the “conflict,” real or imagined, but about protecting the interests of the Biden crime family and the leftist EU through strategic media use of their corrupt, idiot-puppet Zelensky. Backed up with billions of our money and the clearly disposable lives of thousands of Ukrainians.

I see that Blackrock is already working on a multi-billion dollar deal for “rebuilding” the Ukraine once they feel they’ve gotten all the mileage they can out of this “conflict.” It’s going to be a cash cow for the Dems, our corporate left and probably the Biden family in particular for years into the future.

I saw an old video years ago. She was amazing.

Told ya...Zelensky wants to cleanse Ukraine of everything Russian..despite the fact that most Ukrainians are of Russian Heritage.

They are undergoing a cultural revolution now, not unlike China under Mao, Pol Pot or Ayatollah Khomenei

It shouldn’t be a surprise. They are under great stress of war, have one-party rule by Azov radicals, are being fed and supported by outside money, weapons and a foreign-imposed ideology.

Probably won’t be long at all before Russia puts an even bigger one of Katerina in its’ place.

More Uke idiocracy. Just part of their ethnic cleansing… one of the main reasons for the war.

This is equivalent of dismantling statues of George Washington in this country.
