History of Ukraine

WWII “victory” was Soviet occupation of western Ukraine and half of Europe

If, for Western Europe, the end of the war meant the victory of democracy, for Ukraine, it meant the enforcement of Stalinism. In the words of Ukrainian historian Yaroslav Hrytsak, Ukraine was “in the heart of darkness” during the Second World War, with Ukrainians mostly fighting for the interests of other states and, along with Poland, suffering the heaviest human losses of the war. Unpunished communist crimes grow, making it appropriate for Russia to start new war in 2014.
