Yesterday, I posted a tweet about my great-grandfather, who was deported to Siberia & died there in his 40s.
I would like to show you one of the many MONSTROUS responses I received. Unsurprisingly- from a tankie.
This is what Ukrainians experience on a daily basis.
How the hell are these views and comments okay? Mind you, this is not just one individual. MOST with a hammer and sickle in their bio hold these EXACT same opinions. This is absolutely despicable and cannot continue to take place in 2023.

The uneducated and ignorant folks with a hammer and a sickle in their bio are some of the most vicious, entitled, privileged individuals.
They will threaten you if you say anything against their delusional beliefs. Gaslight your/your family’s history. They will bully you.
You tell them about the sufferings you or your family has endured during communism and they will tell you “well, they were just not good people”.
They will LITERALLY justify your family being sent to the gulags simply for upholding Ukrainian traditions.

As a Ukrainian, I genuinely want to thank all non-Ukrainians who continue supporting and showing solidarity to my country despite the rampant russian propaganda.
Your support means the world.
You are on the right side of history.

That doesn’t mean you cannot question things. You are welcome to have a conversation with a Ukrainian person about anything you may have doubts on. Ukraine isn’t a perfect country (but again, no country is perfect).
