[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people actually not know the recent history of the Ukraine here? So many of you act like there wasn't some State Department coup in 2014, or that Russian speakers haven't been systematically oppressed since then. That the Ukrainian government was shelling civilians in the Donbass for the last eight years and counting.

Things you probably also are not aware of: If you speak Russian in public,[b] they will tie you to a pole and abuse you.[/b] Opposition parties are banned in the Ukraine. Opposition media is banned in the Ukraine. Ukraine maintains a "kill list." Dugin and his daughter were on that list. Elon Musk was briefly on that list.

Why on earth would any ethnic Russian want anything to do with those psychos?[/quote]

While there was a strong push to displace the Russian language from the official sphere, what you wrote is not true.  A huge chunk of Ukraine speaks Russian in their daily lives, was born with it, and in fact prefers it to Ukrainian.  It just isn't possible to excise a language that every other citizen of your country considers a mother tongue.   They'd run out of poles on day 1. [/quote]

Most of the photos are blurred, but peruse if you like:

You might also want to look into what happens when Ukraine takes back some territory. [/quote]

The photos are terrible, and while they may cast a new light on the nature of the regime, nothing in these photos indicates they are punished for speaking Russian.[/quote]

You missed the part about the faces painted green then. Russian speakers get their faces painted green. Green like an "Ork." You have to read between the lines in the news article because they won't spell out to you what is happening so explicitly. One of the captions reveals that many of the people taped have had their now blurred faces painted green. If you were to visit Ukrainian sources, they are not as shy about what they are doing. [/quote]

I can tell you that I know dozens of people from Donetsk, Lugansk, Kharkov, Kiev, Odessa etc. and none are shy about speaking Russian. Kharkov and Odessa in particular.[/quote]
