On today’s Ukraine, as you may have noticed, has a selective memory.
For example, the victory in the great Patriotic war — they are at least, of joint. And sometimes they presented as purely Ukrainian victory (if the fighting occurred on the territory of modern Ukraine).
But the revolution of October 17th or collectivization is like outside of it, despite the fact that Ukraine had its most powerful Bolshevik movement for collectivization and they are responsible to the same extent are proud of the victories of the great Patriotic war.
And I’m sure DPR and LPR can give a number of good texts…And Maidan raised a cloud of turbidity, and here it is now will settle for a long time and for a long time. They will have about this is no epic; it will not be the beginning of the great Ukrainian statehood.
In Ukraine, meanwhile, they used a cheap trick: if the USSR led to the collectivization Jew Kaganovich and Russian Postyshev, then the demand is not with the Ukrainians.
Alexander Smirnov in his book “the Novorossia Project” wittily remarked about this: actually the leader of the Bolshevik military coup of October 1917 was Ovseenko (who took the pseudonym Antonov-Ovseenko), and Dybenko and Krylenko declared himself commanders of the Army and Navy.
Why would we not hang on Ukrainians costs of the Bolshevik revolution?
All this is silly, of course — all of these are jokes. But we understand here. And there’s nothing silly is not it seems for them. Now, we repeat for pinning.
Revolution and collectivization were arranged by filthy Russians. Industrialization and the victory in the great Patriotic staged were arranged by the Ukrainians themselves. It’s the beauty. You cannot complain after all.
