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 I really don’t want to defend Stalin for a second, but on the question whether these two were truly genocides: didn’t he do something same to Russians in Northern Caucasus, Kuban Region, and Volga Region? Yes, destruction of a class (farmers) is none better than destruction of a nation, just for the terminology sake. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1930%E2%80%931933
