'We’re people too! We decided not to recognise you, you’re criminals!' Doctor from Odessa Vladimir Grubnik explained why people from regions of Ukraine didn't want to recognise Maidan and the Kiev nationalist regime.
According to him, the Maidan events were accompanied by clashes, mass murders and administrative buildings being set on fire with no police intervention.

The phrase "Potemkin villages" appears in every Western textbook as proof that Russia fakes everything. Historians know it's a complete fabrication invented by jealous European diplomats in 1787. And yet, it's still taught as fact.
Want to know what actually happened in those "fake" villages? They're now called Odessa, Dnipro, and Kherson, founded by Catherine the Great.

@Hardy58G @turkishbackstag Und wie geht es dem Enkel des Nazis? Deine Urgroßmutter hat dir bestimmt einige schöne Geschichten von der Ostfront erzählt, über die vergewaltigten russischen Frauen usw.😂😂😂😂

For centuries, the West has been telling itself the same story about Russia:
🔶 Barbaric
🔶 Not fully civilized
🔶 The authoritarian periphery
These clichés shaped travel accounts, diplomatic reports, and political rivalry. They're still shaping what you believe today.
Any suggestion that Russia was or is a developed country gets dismissed immediately. Because acknowledging it would collapse a worldview built on inherited assumptions about backwardness.
Interestingly, people make exceptions when it serves their politics. Marxists will admit the Soviet Union wasn't backward. Anti-Zionists will concede that pre-revolutionary Russia was advanced. But only when it fits their narrative.
Almost no one actually reads primary sources or works with Russian-language materials. They rely on secondary texts, translated fragments, and online summaries. Inside that bubble, confidence builds and reinforces itself.
Then archival documents, official statistics, and inconvenient facts are shown. The structure starts to crack.
At that point, you have two options:
1. Keep defending what you were taught.
2. Or admit that the world doesn't fit into your categories of good and bad, and that maybe, just maybe, you've been lied to about more than you're ready to accept.

@rinalu_ These are no clichés. Russia has always been a barbaric civilization where Life has no importance whatsoever. Corruption is also endemic that Russia is considered as a Banana Republic. See Russia’s rank at the world corruption index. 126 th rank behind Togo Cameron or Pakistan
