The image shows the national composition of the Rostov region, where the Soviet Muscovites included Ukrainian lands. More than a million Ukrainians have disappeared in 10 years. The same thing has happened in occupied Crimea and in Donetsk and Luhansk today. For some reason, this is hardly talked about in the West, and even in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian language is banned in the occupied territories, history is banned. They change the ethnic composition of the population. This is done according to Stalin's methods. Initially, the most active Ukrainians are publicly executed. They kidnap, torture, rip open their bellies, and make it widely known. They did the same in Prussia - publicly, without hiding, tortured, killed, raped. This encourages people to flee, and this is the purpose of demonstrative executions. They then forbid the recognition of Ukrainian identity through repression. They repress education and information space. Finally, hundreds of thousands of colonists are imported from Muscovy. Previously, mass deportations were also used.

Unfortunately, this tactic works. Over the past three hundred years, Muscovites have seized many Ukrainian lands and killed millions of Ukrainians. Putin does not tire of repeating hundreds of times that Ukraine has taken away Muscovite lands, but in reality, the opposite is true. Putin's lies are so delusional that the Ukrainian authorities are ignoring them, hoping that they are obvious lies. And this is a mistake. With thousands of repetitions, Putin is imprinting these lies in the minds of people in the West. Putin is not afraid of NATO because it does not threaten him. Putin is not afraid of Ukraine's democratic example, because there are other examples, and he controls the entire info space. Putin is not afraid of losing power, Muscovites are accustomed to obeying.

The genocide of Ukrainians, the erasure of any mention of Ukrainians - that's his goal! When you understand this, you will understand all his actions.
