i think many still don’t get it: no Ukrainian or any other indigenous survivor of russian colonialism gives any shit about navalny per se (nor the majority of russians do tbh). your uncritical support for imperialist and racist russian opposition is what is triggering

the serial pattern of foreign attitude always allowing russian imperial elites to swap regime names without ever critically examining the cultural, historical and societal roots of russian colonialism is what helped them to keep millions of us colonized and enslaved for centuries

the world betrayed us in paris 1918 when dozens of nations begged you to help them to liberate themselves from #RussianColonialism and you brush us off and saying “but it is a new better russia, just try it”

the world betrayed us in 1939 when russians and germans made a slaughter fest out of our region but you looked away pretending that eastern european lives is a fair price to pay for not “provoking” red and brown fascists

you left us enslaved after yalta 1945 as a “gift” to #RussianColonialism even though russians didn’t pay the highest price for Europe free of nazism - Ukrainians, Belarusians and other indigenous nations did while russians hid behind the backs of our grandparents

and if after hearing Ukrainians and other folks suffering from russian colonialism for years explaining you all of this and you still be like “i am not convinced” or “show me the facts” then maybe stop pretending you are not a fan of imperialism, colonialism and fascism

partitioned, disarmed and decolonized russia is the only peace plan that will work.
