Today is the annual day of remembrance for the Holodomor, the Ukrainian famine. 90 years ago Stalin sent activists to confiscate food from Ukrainian peasants. Millions died.
To mark this day, Putin sent dozens of drones to attack Kyiv.
Like Stalin, Putin wants to erase Ukraine.

@anneapplebaum read this right after the full scale invasion last year. Excellent book, it helps put into context why the Ukrainian’s are so determined to fight for their freedom - they know what the alternative is…
