The myth of the "Russian Donbass"

The Russian way of state system has always provided for active colonization and the creation of propaganda clichés. The most successful of them managed to sideline history and replace it with pro-government narratives. /1 Image
The results of such historical fiction are now being used by the Russian authoritarian regime to justify its military aggression and zombification of its citizens, playing both on Soviet nostalgia and created by means of imperial, Soviet and Russian propaganda. /2
Among these myths, the myth of the “originally Russian Donbass” is one of the most successful, and therefore one of the most harmful. In fact, it was a complex construction, including historical, economic and social elements. [Res Publica]

Uppdateringen 31.01.2023, i dag behandlar vi speciellt Bakhmut och Kreminna området. På bada frontavsnitten har o.r.c.e.r.n.a. förstärkt med flera divisioner.
/1 Image
Jag vågar påstå att de har påbörjat sin offensiv som strävar till att ha tagit hela Luhansk och Donbas före 24.02.2023, dvs en årsdagspresent till m.ä.s.t.a.r. o.r.c.e.n. himself. Nu kommer detta inte att lyckas men låt oss ta det steg för steg.

Bakhmut kommer nog tyvärr att överges inom 2 veckor. Jag har idag besökt området, talat med folk från den internationella legionen, med folk från hjälporganisationerna samt de fakta om evakuering av Chasiv Yar och truppförflyttningarna talar för detta.
