Does this include extermination of the sixtiers? Do they admit to #Holodomor? Do they condone #Gorbachev’s repression of republics’ protests in the 80s? #Chernobyl victims? If not, it’s another #Russian farce.
I’m so tired of people trying to portray Russians as being these lovely people with a grain of compassion. I can guarantee you these victims only include Russians.
What about deportations and extermination of #crimean tatars?

Oh, this is “woke” ignorant Americans talking about white assimilated Americans. It’s very often followed by “White people have no culture”, again completely disregarding the fact that the world doesn’t end at white assimilated Americans.
Americans live to see the world through the prism of the US.
So when this is being said it normally refers to what we would typically call a “Becky”, usually represented as wearing uggs, leggings, and a hoodie while holding a pumpkin spice latte. But the catch here is … that statement is as ignorant as Becky, who has never left the US.

You know what Russification is? It’s when a 10 year old child in Lviv, who speaks Russian fluently, feels superior to their Ukrainian-Speaking classmates, who don’t. Did their parents ingrain that in them? No. The media did. Russian shows did. Russian movies did. Literature did.
Please tell me how I, a Ukrainian child, in a majority Ukrainian speaking city, who went to a Ukrainian school and lived with an incredibly patriotic dad, at the age of 10 thought that my fluency in Russian gives me a leg up over my friends? Russification.
I remember watching shows that all glorified the “mighty” Russian culture. That put Russians on the pedestal of the Slavic world. See, it so happened that I’m good at languages, and that I speak the kind of “proper” literary Russian, with no “Ukrainian accent”.

To all the “it’s @ZelenskyyUa fault” people: with or without Zelenskyy (preferably with) — we will fight. If we have a leader that wants to make concessions, we will fight against that leader. Because that person doesn’t represent us. What do you still not understand?
You call it “the Kyiv Regime”, as in a dictatorship. Zelensky didn’t force us to fight, he chose to fight with us, to our great surprise. WE ARE THE PEOPLE, of Ukrainian democracy and he speaks to our historical stance of combatting THE RUZZIAN GENOCIDAL REGIME. Not vice-versa
My mother and grandparents are Russian speakers. Are they any more Russian than my uber western Ukrainian dad? No. Do they think they are Russian? No, they rejoiced when a DNA test showed no trace of Russia.

An #NYC moment, a 🧵:

1:30am I’m walking my dog and staring at my phone, reading some war updates. I feel my dog pull (note: it’s a Frenchie, so I fully expect her to be trying to eat a piece of pizza of the ground) and continue walking. She won’t move. So I turn around …
And see this picture: middle of the sidewalk. The street light shines straight onto where all of this is happening. There is a rat. With a slit throat. trying to make noise. Trying to crawl. Both to no avail. Blood everywhere…
And that’s when my dumbass dog tilts her head and paws the rat 🐀 with this sorta “you ok there, buddy?” attitude. I scream in panic grab my dog, call my mother for advice (like the good Ukrainian kid I am) and run home to sanitize my dog…

“Ah what a morning celebration” Image

A Russian “pro Ukrainian liberal” accused us of protesting in 2014 for personal reasons. In response to a Ukrainian creator saying Russians don’t protest again the war but against mobilization. Fact. Let’s dissect: 1/?
1) we were protesting against RUSSIAN proxy government that wanted us to become a Russian submissive country;
2) we did not invade Georgia in 2008, so it’s not like we invaded and we didn’t do anything about it;
3) Viktor Yushchenko was 1 of 5 leaders to go to Georgia 2/?
4) whether we protested or not … WHY DIDN’T YOU? You are the invading party not us… what kind of an argument is that?
5) same with Chechnya.
6) all of these events and all of this protesting comes down to one common denominator: RUSSIAN INVASION.
