Of course, Alexey, you wouldn't remember; you weren't even born yet, but 99.9% of the population voted for the communists in the USSR. They also voted for the bloodthirsty tyrant Stalin.

My grandmother (my mother's mother) cried when Stalin died. It was in 1953. Do you think that only Russians were crying? She was Ukrainian by nationality.

Briefly about Maidan. I watched opposition footage on YouTube. And I started watching television again when someone among my friends on the Odnoklassniki website clicked "like" on a video where a police officer was burning alive. Russian television shows how police officers are burning, but it doesn't show the police's response. Opposition media cut this out and show how Berkut then beats the protesters. Nevertheless, both sides show the opposition with European Union flags. Thanks to the fact that there are "heroes" in Ukraine, I talked to them. The general meaning: most of them (not all) say that the government and the police are criminal and need to be overthrown (no one answered who they should be replaced with). By the way, our media say that all the fascists are against Berkut at Maidan :). It's good that there is the internet now, and we can talk. And since Chemist, Javdet, and Captain (I judge by my communication with them), living in Ukraine, are closer to the government, it means that the Ukrainian government is not very bad.

P.S. Dark30, thank you for the clip "Let's say NO to war! NO WAR!". It's very touching!!! I also remember Vysotsky's song: "And before the war, this slope, a German guy took with him, he fell down, but was saved, and now, perhaps, he is preparing his machine gun for battle."

P.S.S. It's not nice to write in other languages on a Russian website (Heroesworld.ru), including in Ukrainian, although it is half understandable in Russian, and I really like listening to the Ukrainian band "Tyn' Sontsya".
