There have been at least 6 posts of the same content over the last week under different user names. A bit counterproductive at this point. The sheer number of posts goes beyond attempting to inform and lands squarely into propagandizing.
Several more recent posts fall under the theme of “the West made us/them do X”. Conflating the words “Slavs” with “slaves” (though both words share a common etymology). The regular usage of the term “the West”, which is unknown to most post-Cold-War modern Americans, suggests a Mitteleuropa or East Slav source for the content.
If people are as uninformed as we are about this latest edition of Slavs Behaving Badly, they may want to visit the Freedom House website discussing the current internal politics of the two countries (comprising less than 2% or the world’s population):

Freedom House is a Washington DC-based non-profit, so probably with a US bias, but they are fairly transparent with the justification for their various ratings.
