I know very well the Volyn massacres, but 70 years passed. Lets not judge an all people for what some of their parents did.
You have to forget about political correctness, it's the only way to save your life from remake of the Volyn massacre. We have to judge them for this. It doesn't matter how many thousands of years passed, because they're promoting these monsters as their
heroes, they're doing it
right now.
Didn't the russians kill millions of their own citizens during the stalinism, like more or less all our peoples did also in the past?
Firstly, the most of the government positions were obtained by ukrainians, jews, georgians and others. Russians was a minority in Stalin government., the most of the government positions were handled by ukrainians, jews, georgians and others. Russians was a minority in Stalin government.
And actually it's a complicated question. Unlike what the most of western history textbooks say, Stalin wasn't a counterpart of Hitler or Shukhveych. Of course, he acted tough and committed crimes. But as opposed to burning Jews and Volyn massacre, he had a serious reasons to do that.
The main reasons:
- He had to prevent another coup d'état. Despite the Lenin's death, ideas of permanent world revolution by Trotsky and Bukharin still had a great support in the party. Stalin had to to something with it, because these members of party lived for the sake of the revolution and were ready to do everything for the the revolution. Country wouldn't survive after another revolution, so these cleanings were necessary.
- I don't think that Hitler's goals in the east were a secret. Stalin certainly had the opportunity to read Mein Kampf, so it was very clear that war was inevitable. At that time the country had an agrarian economy, which was more than 50 years behind in the development. While Germany, UK and US have completed the industrialization a long time ago. It was urgently required to catch up on this gap, otherwise there was a risk to lose the war and then live under occupation.
Unfortunately, in such circumstances, there was a great opportunity to realize the personal ambitions and vendettas, what some of the leaders, including Stalin himself, have done. And as the result, Stalin was the perfect scapegoat for Khrushchev, Yezhov, Beria and other members of the government. In fact a crimes, which Khrushchev has committed, was one of the reasons for the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine. It was a some kind of bribe to get forgiveness for what he had done.
And clearly the ukranian government isn't dominated by fascists. One of the small parties seems to be right wing, but the extremists of the right sector are not represented in the government. If you want to make the case for a fascist ukranian government, show evidence.
There is no difference between Right Sector and Svoboda party, these parties have identical structure, ideology and set of "heroes". The Svoboda party isn't simply another right-wing party, they're open fascists and it's a fact. This could be proven by quting their rhetoric or EU parliamentary resolution 2012/2889.
The European Parliament <...> 8. Is concerned about the rising nationalistic sentiment in Ukraine, expressed in support for the Svoboda Party, which, as a result, is one of the two new parties to enter the Verkhovna Rada; recalls that racist, anti-Semitic and xenophobic views go against the EU's fundamental values and principles and therefore appeals to pro-democratic parties in the Verkhovna Rada not to associate with, endorse or form coalitions with this party;
A key members of the new "government" are members of Svoboda party. Do you really need any other evidence? Lol, then you have to wake up.
