Thank ...Hello Olya, I just saw this post you wrote. Thank you. <br />You are right, things are crazy right now in Ukraine and so many have no idea the intense history this great nation endured. Some of the horror stories of real people, atrocities of families starved to death, families who fled their homeland to stay alive - do they have a voice? Yes they do, and we all need to tell the stories - let people understand how horribly wrong Russian politics are, and how our country needs to stand by Ukraine without any faltering. Ukrainians love freedom. Thank you for sharing. Будьте здорові!

Any estimate (by hand-me-down, family oral history stories, say) of the number Stalin killed? Russia obviously wants the Crimea; has apparently taken it; and I don't see the U.S. jumping into military plan in the Ukraine to get it back. Throwing the old war crimes against humanity up, at least as a detraction, might build some time for political support to come together for such an operation. Just an idea. But something like that will need documentation of some sorts.Dan Bodinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663726088055350421noreply@blogger.com
