Reminds me of the story of the Alexander Matrosov memorial. A Ukrainian Soviet soldier who blocked the opening of a Nazi machine gun nest by shoving his body into it, absorbing gunfire and shielding his comrades, enabling them to advance on the position. The fascist government of Ukraine dismantled the memorial in his hometown of Dnipro, and is attempting to rewrite history but claiming he had never been to Ukraine and was a Turkic Bashkir using a false name.
Ukraine had also destroyed the memorial of Ivan Kozhedub - Soviet Ukrainian airman who had the highest score out of all Allied aces.
And at least two monuments of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, Soviet partisan girl hanged by Germans - one of those was destroyed in mocking way by coiling the rope noose around the figure neck and pulling the monument to the ground.
Show
Nazis, just fucking nazis
Ice cold take: Ukraine establishing that Kiev should be called "Kyiv" in all languages is as much of a cringy move as when Turkey did the same with "Turkiye" years later.
Tfw no Nicaragua street, Korea street, Vietnam street, Grenada street, Panama street, Iraq street, Afghanistan street, Libya street, etc.
I wonder how many of these renamed streets are going to be named after "national heroes" who fought against the evil soviets?
