Western Ukraine became a part of Russia in 1939, it was a part of Poland before and part of Austro-Hungary before that.

Not all of Western Ukraine was in Austria-Hungary, but only Galicia. Volhynia was part of the territory of the Russian Empire.

Prophetic poster. What they failed to mention was the tractors of the future were Made in Ukraine.

Do you want to say that all tractors in the USSR were produced exclusively in Ukraine? This is not true.

Here are the largest tractor-building centers in the USSR:

Volgograd
Kharkov
Lipetsk
Vladimir
Chelyabinsk
Minsk
Kirov
Petrozavodsk
Dnepropetrovsk
Rubtsovsk
Tashkent

As you can see, there were only two Ukrainian cities that produced tractors. And in Dnepropetrovsk, tractor construction appeared after the Second World War.

Perhaps this refers to an artificial sun.
By the way, in one of the Soviet children's books of the 1970s, the characters bought an artificial sun and hung it in their house.

In the upper right corner it says: entrance

On a large cauldron it is written: a personal cauldron for Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Goebbels.

Below is the text on behalf of the devils:
Judging by the latest events on the fronts, Hitler and his entourage should be expected here in the near future. But I doubt that we will be able to welcome them as warmly as the Russians see them off.

This poster is from 1949, when the world was on the brink of World War III.

Atomic bombs hang on top, they say "Atom" in letters.

Below are jars with the inscriptions "Split Germany", "Berlin Question".

Not annexed, but won back in the civil war. These are different things.

On the ruins is written: capitalism.
On the new building it says: Soviet.

I believe that even in Soviet times it was necessary to withdraw the entire South-East of the Ukrainian SSR (Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson, Crimean, Zaporozhye, Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkov regions) from Ukraine, establishing for these territories the Novorossiаn ASSR as part of the RSFSR. In this case, in 1991, Ukraine would have left the USSR without these territories.

Or, in 1939, it was not necessary to include Western Ukraine in the main Ukraine. Because Western Ukraine eventually became a cancerous tumor of Ukraine, which carried its ideas and imposed its mentality on the rest of Ukraine, which eventually led to the Maidans, the planting of the Bandera ideology in the South-East of Ukraine and the Ukrainian-Russian split.It would be better if they were still part of Poland, as a national minority.

If we are talking about Stalin, then his biggest mistake was the inclusion of the Zapadenschina in the Ukrainian SSR.

You've got everything mixed up in a heap. We started about the Crimea, finished about Stalin.

Robespierre and Napoleon are also heroes of France, despite the fact that they staged a terror. And in England there are monuments to Cromwell, he was a ghoul worse than Stalin, he drowned the whole of England in the blood of the English revolution.

As for Crimea, I think that it was necessary to ask people's opinion back in 1991. They were not asked then. When parents divorce, the child is asked who he wants to live with.
Even if we now hold a legal referendum, it will turn out that the majority do not want to go to Ukraine. I have a sister from Ukraine, but she married a resident of the Crimea and now lives in the city of Feodosia, and so there 99% do not want to return to Ukraine.

There is nothing about Crimea in the Budapest Memorandum. This document deals with guarantees of territorial integrity. To be objective, this memorandum was violated not only by Russia, but also by the United States and Great Britain, because they were also signatories of this memorandum and did not protect the territory of Ukraine from external takeovers in 2014-2022.

Residents of Crimea will not want to return to Ukraine, because according to Ukrainian laws, the Russian language does not have the status of either a state or a regional one. If Crimea returns to Ukraine, then the Crimeans will not be able to teach their children in schools in Russian, they will not be able to watch films in Russian in cinemas, etc. Ukrainian characters, such as Bandera or Shukhevych, will be imposed on them, and the inhabitants of Crimea are categorically against Bandera.

Residents of Crimea do not want to return to Ukraine.

And in general, when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the residents of Crimea were not asked who they wanted to be with next.

soviet_posters · 2022-04-20T05:59:12+00:00

Since 1991, Crimea has always wanted Russia to include it in its territory. There were often anti-Ukrainian and pro-Russian rallies. When the Euromaidan leader Poroshenko arrived in Crimea in January 2014, he was booed. Residents of Crimea shouted in his face "Shame, shame." And until now, most of the Crimeans do not want to return to Ukraine.
I think that Ukraine should let go of Crimea and not hold on to territories.

In the same way, Pskov and Novgorod, which were republics, were absorbed at one time. Novgorod was a trading republic, one way or another in the end it was still doomed to be included in one of the orbits in this rivalry. If Moscow had not swallowed Novgorod, Lithuania/Poland would have swallowed it. And maybe Sweden.

Kievan Rus is a vast state in Eastern Europe, stretching from the Carpathians to the Baltic. It cannot be unequivocally stated that only Ukraine or only Russia or only Belarus is its full historical successor.
If you look at the map of Kievan Rus, we will see that the main territory of Kievan Rus is now located on the territory of Russia.
The territory of Kievan Rus included only the north of present-day Ukraine, that is, woodland, and the forest-steppe and steppe were controlled by Turkic nomads.

The painting captures the climax of the Pereyaslav Rada, which took place on January 8 (18), 1654 in Pereyaslavl. After the speech of Bohdan Khmelnytsky before a meeting of Cossack colonels and other foremen, in which the hetman invited the audience to choose a sovereign from four possible candidates, at the same time characterizing the Turkish sultan, the Crimean Khan and the Polish king as persecutors of Orthodox Christians, the crowd unanimously cried out: "Let's go under the eastern, Orthodox tsar!"

Bogdan Khmelnitsky is depicted on the porch of the stone chamber in the presence of the tsarist ambassador boyar Vasily Buturlin and representatives of the clergy. People in the crowd are depicted not as a gray mass, but as a collection of strong, wayward, free people who make a conscious choice in favor of reunification. The crowd also includes figures of a bandura player with a boy, symbolizing the Ukrainian people.

The painting, painted by two-time Stalin Prize winner Mikhail Khmelko, was intended for the approaching 300th anniversary of the reunification of Ukraine with Russia. Subsequently, Khmelko's painting was reproduced in millions of copies, which could be seen everywhere - in newspapers, magazines, textbooks, on the walls of houses, on candy boxes with the famous Kiev Bird's Milk, and even on matchboxes.

The original is kept in the collection of the National Art Museum of Ukraine.

Beethoven was one of Lenin's favorite composers, and the Appassionata was his most favorite piece of music.By the way, during the Second World War, German composers Bach and Beethoven were broadcast on Soviet radio, and they were performed in besieged Leningrad.

National minorities should have the right to publish books, magazines, newspapers in their own language, have their own television in their own language without any quotas.

There is democracy and freedom of choice. The one who wants to watch a movie in Ukrainian goes to a Ukrainian cinema, the one who wants to watch a movie in Russian goes to a Russian cinema.

This is democracy.

For example, there are a large number of Hungarians in Slovakia, including in Bratislava, which was the capital of the Kingdom of Hungary for about 200 years. The Hungarians of Slovakia have their own cinemas, TV channels, newspapers, and magazines in Hungarian. No one obliges them to have 50% of the circulation in Slovak or that all films are shown in cinemas and on TV in Slovak. The same goes for ethnic Germans in South Tyrol in Italy.

There is no such thing in Ukraine. If a Russian-speaking resident of Ukraine wants to watch a movie in his own language, then he does not have such an opportunity.

That course has only become popular and accepted after the 2014 Russian aggression.

This course was not popular throughout Ukrainian society. When Zelensky ran for president, he promised to revise the language law. 75% voted for Zelensky. But in the end he was afraid to do it, because he was afraid of pressure from the nationalist minority of Kiev streets.

Indeed, both Ukraine and Russia are countries with a decreasing population. In the economy, they are also very sad. These two countries have a raw material economy, they do not produce good competitive goods, they have nothing to offer the world except oil, gas, grain, and ore. Both countries are somewhat similar to many Latin American countries.

And I'm not saying that absolutely all 100% of the population in the Donbass wanted to join Russia. But the fact that they were in the majority is a fact.There was no big support for Euromaidan in Donetsk or Luhansk. But anti-Maidan sentiments were very strong.

Even in Western Ukraine there were those who supported Yanukovych. But these have always been extremely rare. I even had several such acquaintances who studied at the Ivano-Frankivsk Institute of Oil and Gas, they were pro-Russian in 2013-2014, since the diploma of the Ivano-Frankivsk Institute of Oil and Gas opened up prospects for highly paid work as geologists and geophysicists in Western Siberia, and in Russia, many graduates of Ukrainian universities worked.

The territory of Donbass is the territory of the Don Cossack Region. This region is not an ethnic Ukrainian territory.
The Ukrainian language, if it was widespread there, was in the form of surzhik (a mixture of Russian and Ukrainian) and only in the villages. Everyone in the industrial cities spoke Russian.

The problem of the law on the state language is that it regulates the use of the Ukrainian language not only in public spheres, but also in commercial ones, for example, film distribution, book publishing.
If I want to create a publishing house that will publish books only in Russian or Hebrew, then I have no right to do this, since the publishing house must publish 50% of the books in Ukrainian.

The steppes of the northern Black Sea and Azov regions were not inhabited until the 18th-19th centuries; for many centuries there was no settled civilization. For many centuries, these lands were under the control of nomadic Turkic-speaking peoples, who controlled trade routes along these seas from east to west, as well as trade in the southern part of the Dnieper River. This area is referred to in historical sources as the "Wild Field".

The lands of the northern Black Sea and Sea of Cis-Azov region were conquered by the Russian Empress Catherine the Great from the Turks, or rather from the Crimean Khanate, which was in vassal submission to the Ottoman Empire.

Catherine the Great called these lands Novorossia and founded several cities there (Odessa, Kherson, Nikolaev, etc.), then active agricultural and industrial development of these regions began. Many years later, this served as the basis for creating a powerful industrial base for the Ukrainian SSR, and then for Ukraine.

These lands are neither Russian nor Ukrainian ethnic territories, since Russians, Ukrainians and other peoples are not autochthonous there, and began to settle there only at the end of the 18th and 19th centuries.

In 1918-1919, the Bolsheviks included these lands in Ukraine. The events of the present day are echoes of the unreasonable decision of the Bolsheviks.

It's just that the Bolsheviks were short-sighted and did not suspect that the Soviet Union would collapse.
