the holodomor, a famine in the southern soviet union happened but the holodomor, a deliberate genocide of ukrainians through famine did not.


it's basically foundational to modern ukrainian nationalism.

the famine heavily affected eastern ukraine with a heavy russian population while most nationalists lived in west ukraine

its all garbage and ukrainian nationalists are scum of the earth

I like how this article makes zero effort to explain what exactly the controversy is, and almost all of the primary sources are in Russian, so you really have to dig in to figure out why exactly people would be mad about a movie that's a romance between a ballerina and the last czar.


Apparently hardcore Russian Orthodox people literally believe that Nicholas II is a saint and that the movie is blasphemy. Yeah, I can see why the article didn't want to spell that out explicitly.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I speak russian. the director hired a pr firm who told him that all publicity is good publicity and hired the orthochurch to protest and increase advertising

basically followed the Dogma strategy

specifically, it resulted from private landowners choosing to burn their holdings rather than lose them to state farms

said landowners knew that such an act could lead to mass starvation, but petty spite was more important

Sounds like some amazing collective consciousness and unified action on a scale never before seen in human civilization. Impressive. Maybe one day we could use that for non-spite goals.

Seconded. Was it just too serious for C-Spam? It seems kind of unlikely that Stalin's master plan was to genocide the Ukrainians when the memo is obviously intended to appeal to his better nature.

Fun fact: there are reparations. If you go to any Rothschild bank and ask for a withdrawal from account #420691488, you can get your share.
