Pozor Rossii

[Maria Dmytriyeva]

To Mr Valerii Shelenko: 

I really would not engage into this dick-waving contest whose government is more inadequate.
because -- at the end of the day -- I can always say that the government of my country never waged war against its own citizens, never envaded its neighbours'  territory, never blackmailed other governments and is no more killing journalists, opposition leaders and activists. 
I think for a post-Soviet country it is already a big achievement. don't you think? 

as to allies.
well, they did kill a lot of other's citizens. _after_ they were allies.
besides, the USSR was killing millions of its own citizens. I have much more problems with that. 

Ukrainians and Belorussians were people who inhabit the territories between Russia and Poland / Czech / Slovakia / Romania. 
Soviets was a political power. _armed_ political power. obviously some of its soldiers were Ukrainians and Belorussians. that's the problem with stateless nations -- whoever's got more guns can take over you and take away you grain, soil, wood, gas, girls to work in their factories and boys to fight in their armies. (and I didn't mention museums and archives. what is another painful issue)

so for Ukrainians in, say, Western Ukraine it was no great difference between Nazis and Soviets. both were worth. 
in Eastern Ukraine this was settled much earlier -- with the climax in the form of the Great Famine. when all attempts of resistance were heavily supressed. 

so I see your point. I just don't understand whom you intended to impress (let alone) convince with it. 

With best regards,
Maria
