Ukrainians were the Soviets. It's like Scotland complaining about British colonial policy.
- graemep 3mo agoThat is not a good analogy. Scotland voluntarily formed a union with the rest of the UK and played a disproportionate role in colonialism. Ireland would be a better one. The weakness in the GP's argument is that Russia is not the Soviet Union, nor is it communist.

So, yes, Ukrainian communists were with those soviets, who murdered other Ukrainians (and other enslaved nations), and then their siblings have nostalgia about «good times».
