I am heart broken reading your article about Ukraine. That silly English aristocrat is ignorant in Russian history and doesn't understand that Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin, instead of giving Russians freedom, opened Gulag in 1918 and enslaved Russians until now that is why they go with KGB's Putin against their own brothers and sisters- Ukrainian people. And who are not slaves, they suffer in the prisons, as you write in your article or left Russia.
Andre, I am so glad that I found the adherents in you and others about Ukraine and Russia. Russian behavior is definitely a Wrong Country, as I title my memoir. It was a wrong country and continues to be a wrong country.
English aristocrat, just ignorant and stupid in his “superiority.”
Thankyou Felicity...a sad read befitting the realities of life in a wartorn homeland..your pic from Kherson:- Lenin presiding over rubble, dust and ashes! I find it and indeed the "myths about the Soviet Union" both fitting depictions of what the 'Russkiy Mir' represents.
As for the Aristocrat...money, privilege, power...and a sheltered existence?....An English OligOrch??

Thank you, Felicity.
Thank you for reading it!
Thank you very much for noticing my comment to F. Spector. As a Russian, I am ashamed by my native country.

Thank you, folk are entitled to hold their own views of course, but I felt so strongly that idolising Lenin is neither clever nor cool!
Great read and only one comment. Dnipro is the modern name of the city, Dnipropetrovsk is a Soviet one
Ah I was referring to the region, that is what the statement from Ukrzaliznytsia said, I will make that clear, thanking you!
