Ukraine and Russia have shared history for a long time. History of terror, oppression and genocide of the Ukrainian nation. In my video series, I am attempting to explain with vivid examples why Ukrainians and Russians are not brotherly nations. Knowing the history and background of the two countries will make it easier to understand the Russian invasion of Ukraine and why Ukrainians are fighting so bravely to avoid the occupation at any cost.
In the previous video, I covered the period from 800 until early 1900. Today we will talk about the history of Russia and Ukraine during the Soviet Union times and see if this period improved the relationship between the two nations.
An important disclaimer: this article (and all others that I have written) represent solely my opinion, which does not equal the university’s opinion. These articles aim to spread awareness about the war in Ukraine, provide useful resources for donations and highlight my own opinion from the standpoint of a person whose family is in danger in Ukraine. Please do consider this. I do not encourage the spread of hate or bullying; there is already enough pain that people have to go through.
