I hate how Ukrainian nationalists claim that communism was forced on them by the Russians, even though Ukrainians were just as much part of the Soviet Union as the Russians. Ukrainians built up the Soviet Union as well, but to them it's all Russian imperialism. Seems very insulting to their own countrymen to be honest. Do they forget Brezhnev was from Ukraine?
The ukranian nationalists were the reactionary forces of the region, you can bet they have their origins on aristocracy and the early bourgeoisie, so of course they claim they got wronged.
Khrushchev and Chernenko too. And depending on how you see it, Trotsky too.
