so, Ukrainian terrorists. hijacking a Russian plane. as a Ukrainian tired of Ukrainians being presented as terrorists, gangsters, and whores, I send a ray of hatred and prolonged diarrhea to the writers of this episode. yeah, and drowsiness, so that they fall asleep in their shit.

yep, that was the one I have a wish for :)

well, for its time and budget, the TV series was kinda ok — watched it in Ukrainian translation. I just wish they adapt it now for TV with a budget befitting its scope.

for me, it’s weird how the first guy remembers reading that issue of Fantastyka under candlelight. I read the Ukrainian translation of that story maybe a year or two later in the Vsesvit magazine, a highbrow literary thick magazine specializing on translated texts from all over the world, at my grandparents’ apartment…

Ukrainians have been dealing with them — both flesh-and-blood and A.I. — ones ever since our previous revolution in 2004.

with all the US’ history of covertly supporting local marginal groups to oppose the government, it has nothing on Russia in this part of the world. Ukrainian ultra-right even exist mostly because they were trained in Russia and are funded by it.

and Russian culture in general is rather racist — including against Ukrainians and Belarussians.

have you heard about collaboration? like, ever?

wow. just wow. if there are Ukrainians fighting against Kyiv, it just makes it all a civil war, right? (and obviously you either don’t know history or don’t know what a civil war is)

finally, someone said it.

race has nothing to do with it. she had priors. and she was only asked not to leave Kyiv for the time being.

check the definition of a dictatorship.

and you come from what shining heights?

come again?

so now countries are corrupt? and what is your country that you throw slurs like this over half a continent?

from Russia? most definitely. all international ratings seem to think otherwise.

and how would you know about that level?

it is not civil war. it is just another war Russia is waging against Ukraine.

that entire article is a pile of third-grade BS. I would not refer to it if i were you.

nope. we had the Budapest Memorandum. with the US and the UK — who guaranteed our territorial integrity if we give up our nuclear arsenal — third largest in the world at the time. just look at all the good it did us.
