10 years ago russians tried to establish “Kharkiv people’s republic”
They started with seizing the administration building (now destroyed by russian missiles)
the organizers and main performers were citizens of russia, e.g., russian guy from Moscow who put ru flag on the roof 1/5
Kharkiv citizens actively participated in Maidan and pro-Ukrainian movements. When russians invaded the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, many people from Kharkiv went to defend the country.
In 2015 during the national unity rally there was a terror act. 3/5

russian disinfo networks in Europe
Investigation by @InformNapalm and @insightnewsme
russia conducts large-scale propaganda not only through its state media but also through “useful idiots,” who focus on demonizing the US, EU, and NATO and have right- or left-wing views. 1/7
New “multilingual international media” have emerged that write in a way that suits the kremlin and spread pro-russian narratives and disinformation, replacing russia today and sputnik, which have received a ban in Europe.
There is a whole network of pro-ru and anti-Western
2/7
media outlets in Europe that act as ru agents of influence and try to influence Europeans’ opinions. Such media often describe themselves as free and independent, and the information they provide is “alternative.” The most active in Germany and France.

The first victim was Reshat Ametov, a Crimean Tatar activist, who went on a peaceful pro-Ukrainian picket in front of the building of the Council of Ministers of Crimea in Simferopol on March 3rd. His body was found on March 15, 2014, he was tortured to death. 3/5
And no, Bandera wasn’t a nazi collaborator.
In the fog of war Bandera escaped a Polish prison and when nazis attacked USSR, OUN lead by Bandera proclaimed an independent Ukraine. Bandera was arrested, sent to a nazi camp. Nazis wanted Bandera to join Vlasov but he rejected(1945).
PS: He was in Polish prison because he was an ideologist of OUN and independent state of Ukraine while Poland was intensifying the “pacification” on Ukrainian territory. And Ukrainian nationalists including Bandera were fighting both soviet and Polish occupational authorities.
