Nikolai Bulganin was a genetic Russian, Nikita Khrushchev's connections to Ukraine were the purges there, Blevonid Brezhnev was a genetic Russian, as were Yuri Andropov and Mikhail Gorbachev. ==
Genetic russian? Who Nikita? Glob you dispise soviet propaganda in your words but beleive it wholeheartly when it suites you:)).
Mihael Gorbachev the FIRST russian in charge of Soviet Union ever. He ended this state.
Before him it was 30 years of ukranian rule of USSR. That is why Russia lots Crimea and Novorossia.
P.S. But if you "hohol" yourself then I'm not surprised at all. Nation of liers and gas thieves.
Encyclopaedia Britannica is for you a soviet propaganda? Strange, to say the least. The Ukrainians in the USSR were a distinct national minority, less disadvantaged than, for example, "churki" from Central Asia, the Balts or the Jews, but - precisely because of the past nationalistic movements in Ukraine - kept on a pretty short leash. Yes, the Ukrainians were allowed into nomenklatura [had to be, given their numbers] - but never in the top job, nor to the top of the crucial KGB or ideology departments. And if they were "ruling for 30 years" without interruption - why would they be hiding their Ukrainity in their own "anketas"? Why would Chernenko, as a ruler, have it written that he was born in a genetically Russian peasant family [nobody would believe anyway, whatever it was he was writing] - so what was the point of writing a lie?
Sorry, wrong again. Gorbachev did everything he could to save socialism in Russia. Yeltsin destroyed your precious USSR in a coup and you hate him for it.
