[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Russians love to self-embellish Soviet rule of the ethnic minorities, but it's all a facade.

My guess is the Tartars (second most populous ethnic group inside Russia, and over twice the size of Ukrainians), will be next to test the waters.  This article explains the issue fairly well.  https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/05/ukraine-war-crimean-tatars-stalin-soviet-union/629824/

Remember that just as the Ukrainians have a historical grudge against Red Russians (think Stalin and Catherine the Great, Dr Zhivago gulags, etc), so do other ethnic groups.  This is how Red Russia maintained power over ethnic groups around WWI - by whittling them down.

In the case of Ukrainians, by about 3.5 to 5 million https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor.  Ironically, this Russian "reduction" of ethnic Ukrainians by Stalin is the main reason why Russia can even attempt to claim the Crimea in the first place.  Had they not shipped off the ethnic populations, the overall ethnic landscape would be much different in modern-day Russia.[/quote]

Nevermind the Holomodor. [/quote]
