it's not colonial
- papito 4y agoNo? Who is doing the killing in Ukraine right now? A lot of them don't look Slav to me at all. Russia has built the definition of an imperial army. Once I see the moscovites dying in droves for more territory (9 time zones is never enough), we can talk more.
- throw-ru-938 4y agoThe non-Slavs in the army are more likely to be picked up by the media because of racist attitudes, both in Russia and, apparently, in Ukraine. There's even a common slur for them, "бойові буряти"/"боевые буряты", meaning "combat Buryats".
- pelasaco 4y agoexactly, Ukraine now, Ukraine back in the days, Chechnya, you name it.
- sushzbdbehsh 4y agototally sane reply
- pelasaco 4y ago> it's not colonial What a lazy answer! for sure, it is colonial. During the imperial time, during soviet time and now in the east of Ukraine. In all periods, Russia tried to destroy the local population/settlements and tried to build Cossak/Russian defense lines.
