You don’t know world history ?
Putin the former KGB head in the USSR.

Stalin intentionally starved to anywhere from 5,7 or 10 million Ukraines because they resisted Russian communist party .

After WW2, Stalin exterminated or deported estimated million Greeks,Turks, Germans Poles, etc... that lived in and around the Crimea and Black sea regions and shipped in Russians .
Just do a internet search on the topic.
Its a bloody history .

Putin finally resigned from the active state security services with the rank of lieutenant colonel on 20 August 1991 (with some attempts to resign made earlier),[31] on the second day of the KGB-supported abortive putsch against Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.[32] Putin later explained his decision: "As soon as the coup began, I immediately decided which side I was on", though he also noted that the choice was hard because he had spent the best part of his life with "the organs".[33]

Putin was not ever head of the KGB.

Absolutely right! We know many in Eastern European border nations whose parents or grandparents were shipped to Siberia (or killed) and whose homes were given to Russians who were shipped into the region.

Horrible, horrible government. Pure evil.

Ukraine needs to learn I guess. Never trust Russia and never trust a United States Democrat (that includes a GOP-e). They’re f’d. T ime to learn (over there) as we need to over here. democrats fuck everything up over and over and over and over and over and over (should I keep going?)
