Ukrainian nationalists don’t just hate communism, they hate Russia too. That’s why they want to eradicate the language from their country.
I’ve seen them post memes about Ukrainian culture being more advanced than Russian culture in the 16th fucking century. I’ve seen football referees flag players for speaking Russian on the field. I’ve seen beachgoers beat people up for speaking Russian. I’ve seen grown men get livid at little girls for singing Russian pop songs.
Before he was elected president, Zelenskyy spoke primarily Russian with his friends and family. Now he pretends to use a translator when negotiating with his Russian counterparts.
Europeans love bragging about their advanced civilization for some reason, when China saw a dozen cultures with 100,000 man armies, gilded palaces, planned cities, advanced architecture, standardized money systems, and university systems - all rising, falling, being erased from history, and rising again - meanwhile continental Europeans were still trying to figure out how to eat with utensils in that same timespan
This is exactly why I don’t take libs seriously when they handwave with “Blame the govt. not the people” but then turn around and ok this type of shit.

Remember the “chicken Kyiv” BS?
