It was the Sochi Olympics and Russian culture that inspired me to join the forum, not the politics, and I am not here for a popularity contest - I already won one in my own country.
But what happened after Sochi inspired me to learn more.
So you believe that people learn more if they wear a muzzle. Not me. I learn more by judging reactions to things I say or post. And how many other countries have you visited and know everything about?
Stephan Andriyovych Bandera was a Ukrainian politician, a Nazi-collaborator, and a terrorist. He believed that the Nazis could help him create a sovereign nation in the Ukraine.

In truth, the Nazis were using him. You are not the epic authority on "crap". Nobody is. And I may move to Russia, live there another 8 years, and still not know very much about Russia. I have lived in the USA longer and I still do not know very much about it.
But what I do know is that, in those 8 years, the Donbass has been shelled, Bandera were doing the shelling (even the Ukrainian president said that), and more than 13,000 people died. Explain that. Also please explain why those people, in the Odessa Union building, were burned alive.
