"I thought the Russians were oppressing them and discriminating against anything or anyone Ukrainian? Hmmm"
Yes Romanov, the Russians killed 10 million ukrainians in the 30's and replaced them with Russians.
No that'd be Ukranians killing Ukranians because they wanted to enforce collectivization you racist twit.
"Yes Romanov, the Russians killed 10 million ukrainians in the 30's and replaced them with Russians."
How charming - you never can get those totals right. But let's provide you with some historical accuracy:
1.) The SOVIETS, to include Belarusians, Ukrainians, Russians, Mengrelians, Georgians, well you get the point - Killed millions of Kazakhs, Southern Russians, Cossacks, Ukrainians, etc., in the man-made famine (demicide).
2.) Kaganovich - look him up. Ukrainian Jew who was the architect for these crimes.
3.) Ukrainian complicity in the demicide: The NKVD could not have been able to enforce the Politburo crimes without the participation of Ukrainian communist party members - if you think they could then you would also have to believe that the Ukrainians were a.) helplessly incapable of fighting for their own lives, and b.) "invaded" by a foreign entity they didn't even try to repeal.
4.) Rewriting History to suit your nationalist goals is chauvanistic, attracts attention away from the victims, shows disrespect to the non-Ukrainian victims, and gives Ukrainian communists a "pass" on their own criminal behavior.
