BADASS UKRAINIAN WOMEN:
In 1918, Fanny Kaplan of Odesa shot Vladimir Lenin three times for betraying the revolution. Doctors were unable to remove the bullets, which are believed to have caused the 1924 stroke that killed him. Photo taken before her execution by Cheka.
My uncle was shot in the face yesterday near Bakhmut. Medics & doctors were able to save him but he's still in critical condition. He might never be able to talk again.
Send the fkng Leopard 2s already. Send missiles, send Pumas, send F-16s, so we can end this.
Deepest gratitude to
@Bradwave
for forging this gorgeous Kamenyar Fella, inspired by Ivan Franko's revolutionary poem. It is truly a stunning work of art that I will cherish 🥰

1) You can't storm trenches either.
2) They'd get more capable fighters killed if they tried.
3) There are likely some troops on rotation there relaxing before going back to the front.
@GravitysRa1nbow
at worst troops will stand around for a weegk, get bored & go home without a shot fired (except some good ole boys shooting stop signs a mile away)
Gonzalo Lira ordered a Ukrainian mail order bride in 2012, but she found him repulsive & refused to sleep with him. Dating Coach couldn't get any after paying for it & marrying her. He was so offended he called Ukraina a nazi state bc woman had standards. Now he sleeps with POWs

Two destroyed in the last three days. On video.
+ one found in the woods after Kharkiv offensive.
Built to fire at rooftops from close range, after BMPs got wrecked by rooftop RPG-7s in Grozny.
The vast Ukrainian steppes will eat BMPTs like varenyky.

Or..."The 'reactionary nationalist organization' began when local dairy farmer's union repaired the town bridge, after Moscow denied funding for 8 years"
@aabrooks19
USSR passports listed ethnicity, but it was self-selected. Choosing any identity other than Russian meant limiting educational & employment opportunities for you and your family. How can this be anything other than Russian imperialism?
@azamatistan
Thanks
@salon
for including often ignored Central Asian perspectives on Russia. It's no coincidence that nearly identical sentiments on Russian colonialism are expressed from the Baltics to Mongolia, yet much of the Western Left ignores these voices, or worse.

1) Levis symbolized Westernization in post-Soviet states
2) The world's largest, most resource-rich nation, filled with cheap labor & textile mills, unable to make 19th century pants.
3) Scythians invented pants in modern-day Ukraine thousands of years ago.
4) 😭
@castletongreene
I remember her arguing with Russian reporters about Ukraine years ago. Plus their charity helps find human trafficking victims. Self-identifying as Ukrainian came relatively recently for many Jewish immigrants. It's not something to call out ppl on.

@andersostlund
Its the same for Ukrainians. Everytime I try to list all Russia's genocides within even the last 100 years, I always forget some "minor" genocides, with minor consisting of tens of thousands needlessly slaughtered. More than 100 years ago, it's just continuous slavery & genocide
@bloombeary
I was watching Hasan Piker stream 😒 watching a vid about Ukrainian soldiers. One callsign was Franko. "omg Franco, nazis 😂 " for 15 mins as I frantically typed in chat how it was reference to Poet Ivan Franko, an anti-authoritarian socialist. 🤦♂️
@JuliaDavisNews
Please investigate how Solovyev taught Economics at Univ of Alabama Fall Semester 1991. Fired by Dec, took a job as a janitor at the Univ. I love the idea of Solovyev (fat, mustached at the time) cleaning classrooms in 1991 Alabama like a Russian Goodwill Hunting.
