hahaha, thank you for your kind words! (: well, youtube gods are not kind but comments like yours help a lot! ;)

hey, I live in Poland now if that helps hahaha

yeah, I think art is wonderful in the way that you take from it what you need. I had read books throughout my life that just spoke to my soul in the ways that just stay with me still but I am not sure the author ever really intended for it to be seen that way, you know what I mean? ;)

@@kater-nka To me that's exactly what art's supposed to do; "Okay, this is what it is, but what is it to ME?" (prioritizing subjectivity) I have this theory that art and science are basically two extremes on a spectrum.

@@Nemesis_69-i9l oooooh, nice, putting science on the other end of the spectrum is exactly perfect, I like it!

absolutely, I've been having the most interesting conversations with friends about this topic. how we all want to strive for perfect but perfect oftentimes will mean 'boring' and no one truly wants boring hehe

yeah, I think the internet makes it very easy to forget that we all are just interacting with people but I also often see those who appreciate that fact and really try to connect :) oh, listen, my stomach still does a little flip every time I get a rejection letter, negative feedback, or a comment that is not the kindest, sooo... Hahaha I think it's a forever type of process but it does make it easier to just let yourself live ;) you'll get there

USSR was run by bolsheviks aka jews

People all over the USSR died in that famine. What happened in Ukraine wasn't much different from what happened everywhere else. There was a shortage of food for three primary reasons. 1) Failure of collectivization, this is the fault that Stalin bears. 2) Drought. Weather didn't cooperate and crops failed. 3) Ukrainians destroyed food rather than hand it over to the state. So we have a situation where, a bad situation, a drought was made worse by failed agricultural reforms, and people in the most productive region of the country, destroyed food rather than cooperate with state authorities. This is often framed as a "deliberate" targeting of Ukraine because food was largely taken out of Ukraine. The problem with this is, Ukraine was the bread basket of the USSR. Food has always been taken out of Ukraine to feed the entire state. Food produced in Ukraine was divided up to be distributed to Oblasts and SSRs all over the USSR. This would be like blaming the federal government of the USA for people starving to death in the midwest, because food was taken out of the midwest to feed people in Arizona and Nevada and New Mexico etc. The midwest might feel aggrieved because they grow the food, and had they had the choice to horde all of the food, maybe they would have made it through unscathed, but then they'd have been condemning the rest of the country to starvation on an even larger scale. The entire USSR was hit by famine and people starved to death all over the country, you rightly point out that it is used for nationalistic purposes. The problem with the narrative of the "Holodomor" is that it ignores this fact. That the famine was across the entire country. Ukraine wasn't singled out in any special way. People died in Belarus just like they died in Ukraine, just like they died in Dagestan, and Georgia etc. I suppose the issue is, while the state delivered food to these other regions, mostly from Ukraine. Ukraine was a net exporter of food to the rest of the USSR, while most of the rest of the USSR was a net importer. Unfortunately, that's sort of how things work in a large nation. Some regions grow food. Some regions produce goods. Ukraine was happy to benefit from the labor of the Russian urals exporting them steel and heavy machinery etc. I think what doesn't get mentioned enough, is the fact Kulaks burned their crops rather than allow the state to requisition them for distribution in the rest of the USSR. People are starving to death, and rather then let the food you've grown be taken to prevent other people starve, you'd rather burn it. That's self inflicted, and, it's hard to feel sympathy for that sort of behavior.

thanks a lot for listening! yeah, I think the dead are the most patient audience in a sense ;)

hey, I am very sorry too!

It can definitely feel like it (: thanks for listening!

thank you for your kind words (:

There is a reason why almost everyone who shares border with russia is wary of russia. It's political and social culture as well as imperial stance toward everyone else hasn'T changed since mongol times-

@@Turtle1631991 The Mongols raided the north of the principality, but never lived there. They lived in Galicia, Kiev region, Chernigov region, Poltava region...and yes, before writing about imperialism, study the history of Western Europe and come up with an idea about the Hunnic influence on Western expansionism.

​@@Turtle1631991 Except, this is objectively false. Russia has good relations with the majority of countries on its border. The ones it has a problem with, are the same countries that largely invaded them in two world wars, or gleefully tried to ally with the Nazis in WW2. You'd be shocked to find out that Ukraine celebrates a Nazi collaborator and war criminal named Stepan Banderas as a national hero. The man was responsible for mass murder of Jews, Poles, and other ethnic groups the Ukrainian OUN and UPA (far right nazi like groups) didn't think were ethnically pure Ukrainians. Russia has its own problem with Neo-Nazis, however, the Russian state doesn't celebrate Nazis, Neo-Nazis, or Nazi collaborates. The Ukrainian state does. It's the only country in the world that does. Streets named after him. People march in the streets singing to him. The state fully signs off on this and supports it. That should be throwing serious warning signs. Now, while I agree that this war is a travesty and Russia shouldn't have invaded. I also think that Ukraine has some SERIOUS problems with their own history that they need to sort out. Case in point, the Holodomor. You probably read that it was this deliberate targeted action at Ukraine to ethnically cleanse Ukraine. Except, the Holodomor is just the name Ukrainian nationalists give to a Famine that hit the ENTIRE USSR. People starved to death ALL OVER the USSR. It might also shock you to learn that, Ukrainian Kulaks burned their crops rather than allow them to be requisitioned to alleviate starvation in other parts of the USSR. Which backfired, because the USSR said "Oh, you destroyed food? We don't care, we're still taking the same % to feed the rest of the country, it just means less food for everyone and you will have less left for yourselves as well". It is true that food was taken out of Ukraine, but that's because Ukraine was a major part of the Soviet bread basket. Ukraine supplied food for the ENTIRE USSR. It might seem unjust that food was taken out of Ukraine during a famine, but who else was going to feed the rest of the USSR? Ukraine sits pretty, with tractors and machines supplied by other parts of the USSR, while other parts of the USSR suffer even more? As to the famine itself. There were three primary causes of it. First, the failure of collectivization. Stalins agricultural reforms failed. Second, drought. The weather was the primary cause. If you care to read up on it, weather caused famine in the USSR->Russian Empire was common. It happened ALL THE TIME. Third, Ukrainian farmers, specifically Kulaks, destroyed their crops rather than allow them to be requisitioned by the state. So, we have a famine brought on by a drought, that is compounded by the failure of Stalin's agricultural reforms, and then the food shorted is made worse because Ukrainian farmers decided to destroy food rather than share it.

It was a famine that touched many ussr republics including Russia SSR you mor0n!! At the same time there were other famines in Europe!! You’re sucking hard propaganda here .. holodomor is a word created for propaganda purpose against Russia … mor0n

Ukrainian folk fantasy is a very fascinating thing, but the facts are much more interesting. The first fact. There was a famine throughout USSR. The second fact. Stalin is the father of Ukrainian nation.

@ another fact is that there were other famines in Europe I think during that period but oh this USSR famine is genocide …… 🤦‍♂️
