I love when "not all russians, it's putin's war" westerners face the reality
This is your friendly reminder to spread awareness and celebrate Ukrainian culture, art, and artists.
Russia has damaged and destroyed 432 cultural sites, and has a very long history of stealing and destroying original Ukrainian works of art. Not to mention their desire to destroy everything Ukrainian. Even supporting Ukraine is enough to be jailed or straight up murdered.
This did not start in 2022. Russia is a terrorist state, has always been a terrorist state, and they have always hated anyone who doesn’t worship them.
And a side note: When a population is enduring a genocide, celebrating the culture and heritage of the people committing the genocide is an interesting choice. You don’t get to tell Ukrainians “not all Russians, not all Russian civilians” when the majority of the population supports the war. Ukrainians are allowed to be upset with the people supporting the country that’s killing them. Don’t tell us how we should feel about our history (and present) being erased.

The quotes featured in these slides represent some of the last words spoken by Ukrainian defenders.

Nationalism and nazism are different things. Ukrainian people are nationalists because our language was banned 136 times, we were almost destroyed by russians so many times, I can’t even count. We love our nation and we respect our culture. We try to survive under oppression and genocide. Our Ukrainian names were banned, our ancestors used to hide their children not to be killed. They went through hunger because soviet russians wanted to destroy us. My great grandfather saw his father died of hunger and rats ate his face. Yes, we love our country, our nation and our culture.
Nazism is destroying every other nation and seeing their nation as the best one and others are just under them. Sounds like russia, huh?
Ukrainian POV: you wake up from sounds of explosions, ring through all of your friends and relatives to make sure they are still alive, read comments from russians who celebrate deaths of innocent ukrainian civillians, read comments from americans with palestine flags in their bio about how you have it easy (they know better) and how dare you not talk about Palestine instead of another war crime you just barely survived, read a NYT article about russian "microprotests" with instagram posts of toys, then drink your coffee and are somehow expected to operate normally as if nothing happened.
Eternal gratitude to the ukrainian army for my privilege of being able to survive and sit here complaining, instead of dying under rubble from crush syndrome as yes-all-russians intended me to.
The compulsion to do whatever people are expecting of you so you wouldn’t have to deal with them being disappointed and upset and angry at you vs the raw need to scream at everyone having expectations of you to leave you the hell alone because you have your own damn life you want to live and you’re not a support character for theirs
SPEND THIS YEAR DOING MORE OF THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOUR HEART SOAR !!
