This is common and racist sentiment held by ruling white minority of Russia.
Does he imagine that Dagestan decided to be Russian by choice? What happen when #Chechnya tried to leave Russia? Genocide. In fact, ethnic people are majority, not minority, of Russia.
They are not “going to war,” they are being sent to war. If they resist, they are imprisoned or executed. This is why Putin did not mobilize White Russians fully. When he tried, nearly million fled because they had money to leave.
Russia has mobilized #Ukrainians in Donbas and #Crimea to fight against their own people by holding their families hostage. Russia has let convicts out to fight. Russia is willing to throw anyone into meat grinder but “real Russians” because they see real Russians as white.
Meanwhile White Russians blame these minorities for war they did not choose, have no power to stop and also don’t want to fight in. This is how they view Ukraine too. We are in their minds Russians as property, as war chattel, as workers. Or what we call as slave state.
Russia as I told you is two city states holding hostage 11 time zones full of nations they destroy and enslave who live in poverty and are seen as subhuman. They see us in same way. But they will kill us for not wanting to be part of Russia.
What holds these nations together as empire? Lies. Now those lies are gone, ethnic Russians are war hardened and armed. Russian military is gone. Now they can rise up. Now Russia collapses.

In 1932 Russia committed genocide of #Ukraine called #Holodomor. It’s man made starvation. Голод = hunger. They killed 7 million people in one year.
Here is what they did
1. They first confiscated all farms as part of state property. They forced farmers to work in exchange for not being jailed or executed. They set unreasonable quotas that could not be met, resulting in confiscation of grain.
2. Russia passed law that made it illegal to have or own grain. Any grain, even morsel taken, was theft from state punishable by gulag or execution.
Why #Russians call us Xoxoli? For style of hair #Zaporizhzhia Cossack wear. There is no Russian Cossack. It’s stolen from our culture. Same culture they insult with slur. Then they pretend that Zaporizhzhia referendum vote to join Russia by 95%. It’s not Putin, it’s Russia.
1. What is collective guilt? It’s guilt that is shared by group of people for crimes so depraved that not stopping them is itself crime. Every generation in my family has person who contains memories of past because such crimes have happen to us for over 100 years.
2. I am this person now for this generation. I remember for them. I know every crime, when it happen, where, how. All of it. Germany had barbarism and savagery for how long? And did they ever after WWII? No. Why? Collective guilt.
3. Russia’s role in WWII, #Holocaust is entirely erased from history. They did get lands they wanted but not guilt. History begins in 1942, Russia is hero. That’s not fact. Not for anything my family suffer.
In 1903 Russia wrote this masterpiece of evil that they use to commit
Gather together because I have strange story to tell you. A very well dressed foreign man with residency here tried to bribe border guards to allow entry of 4 #Indian nationals into #Odesa from #Moldova.
I know what you will say. Odesa is famous destination. Of course 4 foreign nationals want to be here. Four Indian men needed to enter Odesa during war, bombings, no power and heat during winter for holiday?🙄 They had to enter so urgently, they needed to bribe their way here?
Or you might think human traffickers are moving Indian workers into area so on alert that every elder now has smart phone and hunt for spies just to bring 4 South Asian men here they cannot move through Turkey because of war🤦🏼♀️. There is one more piece of data.
I will migrate old lessons and add new ones to this eventually. It will be running thread. This is written for West to understand what has happen to us, who we are and who they are.
Part 1 - What is Ethnic Russian in any of former and current slave states? How does Russia colonize? Genocide. It's sensitive topic for us and also complicated one. This thread is very simple explanation of what such question mean outside of Russia.
1. When Russia occupy country, they not only occupy it physically, they occupy it socially and even mind occupation. I use #America as example of what this look like. Imagine Russia invade America. They raze everything and first priority murder anyone who can resist.
We have crazy rain storm, no power in #Odesa and I have Covid infection again. This Gogol novel is becoming Kafkaesque. Covid 1, I spent in shed in occupied #Kharkiv. Covid 2, I spent under bombs in basement in #Odesa. Now Covid 3 in tent, in flat with no heat in winter.💪🏻
After this war I will be able to win Alive, Survivor and new show called Reality TV genocide. Let’s not even include my fracture knee and jaw. Russia make me into super human. What can I tell you about this infection? Still more mild than Covid 1 last May. Milder than Covid 2
Last July. I had febrile hallucinations with that one as only symptom. Remember bartenders it’s when Russia bomb Odesa day after grain deal. I thought little Russian uniformed mice came with cheese to kill me. This infection is more like very bad cold.
