"are we here today because there wasn't a Nuremburg trial for the Soviets?", asks @antelava w reference to comment by Giga Bokeria that there hasn't been enough of a reckoning with the crimes of communism. @TbilisiZeg
maybe not so much Nuremburg, but "West" could & should have paid much more attention to what happened earlier in Chechnya, etc., so some hope that this focuses minds on such crimes in the future, says @AnnaNeistat
"to choose to be Ukrainian means that you think the Soviet Union is a bad thing", says @yarotrof. In Yugoslavia, you could not choose to be Serb or Croat, in UKR, you could decide -- as Zelensky, from Russian speaking family, chose Ukrainian.
END -- @antelava asks organizers & volunteers on stage, for a round of applause.
