Very good point. I edited my original comment to put scare quotes around "invaded"
It pisses me off to no end when, for example, westerners will refer to heros like Lyudmila Pavlichenko as "Russian" when like.. she was born and raised in fucking Kyiv. She was a Soviet Ukranian, and many of the Nazis she killed were also Ukranians.
