Not a generalization. I've spent considerable time working there. There is daily evidence of such behavior. Heck, they even named a street in honor of a Chechen terrorist - why, you might ask? Because he killed Russians. Jewish cemetaries vandalized. People with dark complexion stabbed. Ethnic Russian children beaten in school. All happened in just one week last October in Lvov.
"Not a generalization. I've spent considerable time working there."
Youre a busy guy - retiring from the AirForce or Army in March - why did they send youto Ukraine - to interview Russian Viet Nam vets?
Your story keeps changing - and funny how Russophile are called out, they start calling everyone Antisemetic and Nazis - that worked in 1945 but it doesn't cut it anymore.
Unfortunate events that happen on occasion, a rarity. Believe it or not, a democratic haven like Russia also has them. Actually it's hard to find a country where this stuff doesn't happen.

We have the same stories of Russians treating Ukrainians the same way, so shove it.
