Man with 12 million followers airs genocidal speech of Russian dictator invading Ukraine

Imagine the British Prime Minister saying today that the US is an artificial state because its war for independence was arranged and sponsored by France and that, in reality, the US was always part of the UK and should remain so. And all who disagree are Nazis and should be “denazified.”
This is precisely the logic Putin uses regarding the history of Ukraine to justify his current war to eradicate Ukraine’s independence and everything Ukrainian. Only the role of France in his propagandist narrative is assumed by Poland. At the same time, Ukraine is constantly described as “part of Russia,” subversively used as a weapon against the “Motherland” by Poles, later by Austria, and now by the USA.
For contemporary Europeans and Americans, such reasoning could seem funny or insane. For Ukrainians, it is, too, but its rhetorical implications are grave.
Russia has already committed a genocide of Ukrainians in the 20th century, killing thousands of intellectuals in the repressions of the 1930s and conducting the Holodomor famine in 1932-1933, which took the lives of at least 3.9 million Ukrainians.
