🧵FELLAS! STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN! Ukraine has long been a diverse land of many peoples and cultures. Today, we delve into a lesser-known chapter of Ukrainian history. Rus is often credited as the earliest Norse-Ukrainian link, today we focus on ancient on Gothic Ukraine! 1/17 Image From the early 1st century AD, Ukraine was inhabited by various peoples including the Scythians (I will write about in a later thread), the Sarmatians and even the Celts. By the 3rd century AD, a new Germanic people, known as the Goths came to dominate the Ukrainian Steppe. 2/17Image

🧵FELLAS! STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN! An often repeated russian lie is "Ukraine didn't exist before 1991". Ukraine's state has roots going back to the early Kingdom of Rus in 1253. Today we will discuss the creation of the first modern Ukrainian state(s) in the 20th century! 1/19 Image The foundations of the Ukrainian state were established by the Hromada, formed in Ukraine shortly after the Crimean War. In Hapsburg ruled Ukraine, in 1848 during the Spring of Nations, Ukrainians formed the Supreme Ruthenian Council whose goal was autonomy for Ukraine. 2/19

🧵FELLAS! STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN! A key component of russian propaganda and slander is that Ukraine is not a real state. Despite being demonstrably false, this lie is used as a means to cover up russia's own stolen history - which is today's topic, Russia's stolen history. 1/16 Image Modern russia is a kleptocracy, not only economically and politically. Every aspect of its history has been stolen, covered up or misappropriated. Even the name "russia" is a 16th century heist of "Rus" which Ukraine is the rightful inheritor 2/16:

🧵FELLAS! STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN! Today let's talk about the single most misappropriated and manipulated aspect of Ukrainian history by the muscovites. One of the most powerful state in Europe in the 11th century and the predecessor state to Ukraine - KYIVAN RUS! 1/22 Image Not only has russia misappropriated the historic and cultural legacy of Rus, it has stolen the name Rus itself in an attempt to justify its imperial ambitions in Ukraine. Navigating through this stolen history will reveals why muscovy has sought to destroy Ukraine. 2/22 Image

🧵FELLAS! STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN! For much of its history following the fall of Rus, Ukraine was occupied by foreign powers. As a result, Ukrainians became masters at underground resistance and partisan warfare. Which is today's topic - the Ukrainian underground resistance! 1/21 Image For centuries the Ukrainian identity, language and culture was suppressed and illegal. The Ukrainian national movement was conducted through secret societies such as Orthodox Bratsvo, Hromada and even Freemasons like "Palitsynska Akademia" whose goal was a free Ukraine. 2/21 Image

🧵FELLAS! STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN! Many of you know my passion for history. But I am a lawyer by profession. Today, I want to change it up and discuss the clearest case of genocide since the Holocaust and Rwanda - the current russian genocide in Ukraine. 1/25 Image I dedicate this post to every Ukrainian who has suffered in this war. I promise you, we will have our justice. We will never forgive. We will never forget. We will never stop until those who have committed these crimes will be held accountable. 2/25 Image

🧵FELLAS! STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN! I have the day off and instead of resting I did this thread. I want to discuss the importance of understanding history from multiple view points. The origin of a source sometimes is more telling than the content of the source itself. 1/13 The next couple weeks I will be discussing Bandera, UPA and other controversial topics. The goal is not necessarily to convince you they were heroes or villains, but to give you a more complete view which features the largely ignored Ukrainian perspective. 2/13

🧵FELLAS! STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN! Today I wanted to dedicate some time debunking russia's most prevalent myth, the "Ukrainian nazi" myth. Without a doubt this is the most widespread, destructive, misleading and hypocritical lie spread by russia. 1/25 Image As stated by Vaad, a Jewish Ukrainian, to the Jerusalem Post in 2016, "It must be clearly understood; there is no kind of 'neo-Nazi Ukrainian militia' now. Azov is a regular military unit". 20/25

🧵FELLAS! STAY AWHILE AND LISTEN! Today, lets talk about a topic that the russians absolutely love - nazi collaborators in World War II. Specifically lets talk about one of the most enthusiastic collaborators, the russians. Their modern flag is quite literally a nazi flag. 1/11

Thousands of Hilfswilliger ("those willing") joined the ranks of the nazis. Unlike other units, russian nazis served directly under German commanders. These russian soldiers were predominantly made up of surrendered or deserting troops of the red army. 2/11
