Ok I understand the throwaway as it as controversial point.
I have a couple of questions for someone not that familiar with Ukrainian history:
- Was the south ukrainian population relocated there as a soviet 'settlement' or were they always historically there?
- Is there any political acceptance among north ukrainians to cut their loses and lose territory in order to be able to join NATO/EU?
- twelve40 5y agoKharkov, Odessa, Nikolayev, Sumy, Kherson, Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Lugansk, Mariupol, Krivoi Rog, Elizavetgrad (aka "Kropivnitsky"), Aleksandrovskaya (aka "Zaporizhzhia") - most of the cities in the East and the South were founded by the Russians by direct order from the Tsars starting from 1600's. We can dig deeper and find out that in 1897, 78% of Kiev the capital's population was non-Ukrainian, so no, this is not some Soviet invention. If anything, Stalin and Kruschev gifted Lvov (1940), Ivano-Frankovsk (1940), the entire Crimea (1954), Uzhgorod (1945), etc etc to Ukraine, so some thanks to the Soviets should be in order.
