when foreigners casually drop ‘bombing of kyiv’ these pics always come to mind. this is what #RussianColonialism did to chechnya and grozny when they tried to leave the empire in 2000. a war crime of horrific scale, but the rest of the world was like ‘meh’, so moscow continued

Asharshylyk, Holodomor in Kazakhstan
The dates of the manmade famine in Kazakhstan perpetrated by Moscow depend on the source. Some say 1931-1933, aligning with the Holodomor in Ukraine. However, most Kazakh sources suggest 1928-1934. Let me be clear: it was a genocide. 1/
navalny is a "liberal opposition" figure only by russian standards at best. chubais and kiriyenko, some of the men responsible for putin's rise, were too once considered progressive liberals.
In 2015 navalny opposed western supplies of weapons to Ukraine.

Звільнений після російської окупації Ізюм — приклад жахів війни: розбиті будинки, школи, церкви та лікарні — скрізь сліди вибухів та розбиті шибки
Those are photos from russian invasions in Chechnya (1994), Sakartvelo (2008), Syria (2015) and Ukraine (2022).

7 facts why Gorbachev was never EVER a democratic leader. THREAD
🚩In 1986 he kept silent about the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster, which led to the irradiation of people at the International Workers' Day parade that was not canceled;
Very appropriate to remember the legacy of Dzhokhar Dudayev. He was the Chechen commander of Soviet troops in Estonia during late 80s. He refused to attack civilians, despite orders from Moscow and Gorbachev. Later, he was President of Chechnya until russia assassinated him.
On May 1, 1986, 5 days after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, #Gorbachev forced Ukrainians and their children to march the highly irradiated streets of Kyiv.
"Try not to have the parade - I will have you rot."
