I mean. Are you seriously telling me I’m wrong and continue forcing this weird book upon me? Like yeah, my personal life experience as well as millions others make no sense, there’s a non forced upon me by some presumably not biased westplainer.

I'm telling you that you overgeneralize what you say was your experience. And please tell how the USSR forced you to "forget your own languages and culture"?

  Half of Ukraine — the one closer to Russia — does not speak Ukrainian, mostly Russian. All of Belarus knows only Russian, mostly not knowing Belarusian. Latvia and Estonia have huge parts of their population who don’t speak local national languages, but speak only Russian. I’m telling you to back off, I don’t like you and your attempts to diminish me and westplain me something you don’t know personally, basically spreading Russian propaganda how wonderful it was under Russian occupation during the Holodomor timeline. I wish you to get blocked on here sooner than later.

    >Half of Ukraine — the one closer to Russia — does not speak Ukrainian, mostly Russian This half? "The name Novorossiya, which means "New Russia", entered official usage in 1764, after the Russian Empire conquered the Crimean Khanate, and annexed its territories, when Novorossiya Governorate (or Province) was founded. Official usage of the name ceased after 1917, when the entire area (minus Crimea) was annexed by the Ukrainian People's Republic, precursor of the Ukrainian SSR." [0] Maybe because it used to be a part of Russia and was gifted to the Ukraine by Lenin, the evil bolshevik? Hmm... >Latvia and Estonia have huge parts of their population who don’t speak local national languages, but speak only Russian. Because they are children and grandchildren of Russians who migrated there after the WW2 and now are subjected to discrimination by local nationalistic government.

        >Russians refusing to move back to Russia Back? Those Russians were born in that country and you suggest they must move to Russia because they are ethnic Russians? It's called ethnic cleansing. >refusing to learn the local, official language Do you realize that you are writing this in the thread where another commenter condemns the USSR for forcing everybody to learn Russian language? >still wanting to have the citizenship of the country they are living in That's how it works in the civilized countries - citizenship is gained by the birth right, not by the ethnicity of their parents.
