80% of Ukrainians fought in the Red Army, so did my great grandfather. If it wasn’t for Molotov-Ribbentrop, Western Ukraine would still be part of Poland and would undergo polonization. Despite Stalin’s repressive apparatus and famines, the man has achieved something no other government of Ukraine did, unite the East and West. Also, 1956 and 1968 was motivated by Hungarian and Czechoslovak communists begging with the Soviet government to save them. And many Ukrainians took part in suppression of the Prague Spring, like Klitschko the elder. Ukraine was just as commie or even more than Russia, and Ukrainians did a lot to prop up that system. They did nothing to atone for this, they just said Russia is guilty of everything.
Also, I don’t think the Russians need to do shit, they don’t owe anyone anything…
