why its territory was constantly growing with new lands, ukraine named after vladimir ilyich lenin is the most accurate. e. determining at whose expense this happened yeltsin, as it were, well, to put it mildly, it doesn’t matter, well, he takes away, and also what is indigenization? it was n't even companionship. it was the most brutal repressive policy. and who became its victim the local population, but perceived itself as part of the large russian world, new facts and sensational evidence that overturn the usual ideas about history. odessa is the pearl of the black sea region, it was founded in the 18th century by decree of catherine ii, at the same time, the sea gates of the country, dnepr, former ekaterinoslav, donetsk, former yuzovka, were laid down by the fortress and the city of nikolaev. once glorious cities of the russian empire , cities that were built by russian industrialists were mastered by the russian nobility and then later by russian merchants, who created industrial enterprises there were engaged in trade; the most modern enterprises built under the king were built

each classroom contains its own lenin corner a small area set up to deify the exploits of lenin as the great leader of the first socialist revolution in the world. in music class for example children learn to express their love for lenin through hymns that are sung on holidays. soviet elementary education is characterized by a suffocating paternalism and assurance of personal security is offered by the state in return for strict conformity and the suppression of individual expression. in art classes, for example all children are required to draw the same object in exactly the same way and using the same colors. also, there is no ambiguity for soviet school children. there are only right and wrong answers and repetition of the so-called right answer is the basis of soviet learning. in this manner the natural spontaneity of soviet children is sternly but gently controlled by the teacher and thereby guided along the path of socialist behavior considered proper by the state. individuality has always been discouraged in russia the head or patriarch of the family set the rules of behavior. a

finland's special status applies well to lenin, even well. why because he gave complete independence to finland in 2004. there was a coup in ukraine, what will the orange revolution later be called? in 2014, another maidan exploded; the nationalists overthrew the legitimate government, and then unleashed a civil war. for 8 years they systematically destroyed people who did not accept their ideology. all this, as well as the history of the geography of ukraine, allows us to draw specific conclusions. ukraine as a state never existed this country within its modern borders is the result of the historical efforts of the russian empire and mainly the soviet union it was actually created by lenin and stalin an attempt to keep a multinational country within the nationalist idea is certainly doomed, because in ukraine there was no single nation and there is no ukraine within its borders after the collapse the soviet union is an artificially created association of different peoples with different cultures, religions and languages, and to subordinate t

ublyumkin's lenin was always opened on the same page. in 1929, after a secret meeting with trotsky in istanbul , blumkin was shot by his colleagues for repeated betrayal of the cause of the proletarian revolution, before his death he sang international songs from each other. what kind of game are these players? the taman empire collapsed under the pretext of protecting persia from the bolshevik turmoil in december 17, the british sent troops to southern iran in the eighteenth year, all control in the cities was completely transferred to the british military governor. when it was believed that the withdrawal of our troops would be followed by the invasion of the bolsheviks and the assertion of the soviets, which could give them freedom of action in the south, the prediction turned out to be wrong . from the southern federation john british agent in iran 1919? since 1920, soviet russia, having survived the civil war, begins to pursue a more active policy in persia in may , a revolutionary republic is created in gillian in august 1921 revol

david remnick, author of six book, including "the indispensable lenin's tomb."ance talking about the meeting between the ukrainian foreign minister and russia. we've seen some evidence of corridors that have been open. we've seen other violations of that, both sides blaming each other for that. is there any evidence that you see that vladimir putin wants an end to this war at this point? >> not yet. i mean, let's stipulate that this is an invasion of a sovereign country for no reason at all, and it's been merciless and disgusting and brutal. so, that's -- that's the thing that's most obvious. and -- and yet we're in a situation where we don't want it to escalate to the point where ukraine is decimated and just endless casualties and refugee crisis that destabilizes europe for the rest of our lives. we don't want to see that. and the ancient philosopher once said that you need to build a golden bridge, a golden bridge, for your opponent, for your enemy, so that he can walk across and retreat. and somehow, some way, ukraine is going to have to devise -- and above

over the side, saying lenin gave away ukraine and sort of making himself into a peter the great figureshing the russian empire, we should be very clear-eyed about what is possible here. so i think we need to stand up the way we are, we need to lead the rest of the world, we need to be pleased that germany and switzerland and others have come in, in ways that i think a lot of people didn't expect. and we're going to have to do what is necessary. and, again, this is a battle, the president is right about this, we are living in an era, speaking of 1939, when what's on offer here is totalitarianism, versus democracy. and whether you think about what putin is doing, in russia today, or what china is doing with their state-sponsored capitalism, they believe democracy is -- when they look at january 6th, what they said is america can't lead, democracy is ruined, and what we have to do in this moment is show them that we're here to fight for the people of ukraine, and the right of human beings to determine their future. >> senator bennett, until a week ago, a former american president, a forme

and i already think so, i should probably leave, and i saw an artist, lenin, not a leader.nly, you know, i mustered up the courage. i went up to him and forgot what his name was even, but as soon as the film came, the boy himself, which means that he will play health there and such a film. i came up and said, forgive me. i so want to see this performance, apparently i had such an expression on my face that he says, so on the run he says, you are alone, i speak alone and he doesn’t give an invitation like that, and i consider the forced one and when i raised my eyes, he was no longer there, having become an artist of the leningrad youth theater on the fontanka, nina usatago did not miss a single premiere at the bolshoi drama theater, which those same burghers became her main dream. she wanted to work with georgy tovstonogov. she knew that bdt star factory. more precisely, haute couture atelier, guardian popova capillaan, daronina, luz pikaev makarova lebedev yursky tinkova trofimov kovel dimed, sharkova vyselashvili and at least another two dozen outstanding artists, but all

and there is only one question vladimir ilyich lenin solved the problem of central and western ukrainens of russian proletariat there. what i'm talking about exactly technically decided. and then, when vladimir ilyich died, after that other party leaders carried out such a takeover of these territories for ukraine, which the nazis did not dream of in the nineties, because the ukrainization of those regions and provinces that i listed was carried out by the bolsheviks. this is an unprecedented perfect phenomenon. this also needs to be understood, i just don’t object to you karengorych now. and i like it, like the montists taught, look like a mardist man. yes, everything needs to be looked at dialectically dialectical here it is too there is, and i prefer to distinguish between the little russian people, the indigenous people of the russian empire and the political svidomo ukrainians, which degenerated fascism, nazism and undisguised racism, which nothing else has brought to our earth. besides this, the latter has not brought and will not bring, but it is very important what keeps them.

well, i used to think they had a point, actually, after 1991, when marxism—leninism collapsed in russia days there was quite a lot of triumphalism on the western side, generally, but particularly on the american side, that clinton and other people seemed to want to show, to demonstrate to everybody that russia had been defeated, notjust simply had changed its ways. but now, listening to, looking at the kind of things that are being said in moscow, i'm not sure quite whether, really, the west's part in all this is terribly important. i think he has just got it into his head that nato is an aggressive state, an aggressive group, that america wants to break up russia. no evidence for any of this. but that is what he seems to think. and basically he has this deep, deep resentment against ukraine for having once been part of the russian family, as it were, and now deciding to turn its back on russia and move away. and i think we are really seeing that, the punishment for that decision. putin has had weeks, months of isolation for covid. i think he has just been working away on all this, and

he says that had not lenin given ukraine too much of a sense of identity within the ussr, there woulde. and i just wonder whether you feel there are any people inside the nation—state of ukraine today, that is ethnic russian people, who would identify with putin's version of history. i think you can find these people. i mean, i am one of probably 7—8 million of ethnic russians, and, i mean, most of the ethnic russians are not interested in politics, but they love it in ukraine and they consider themselves ukrainian citizens. but there are between 10—15% of russian speakers who always vote for the pro—russian political parties, and they are always organised and we understand who finances them. but so, i mean, there is 10—15% of population which is either nostalgic about soviet youth or soviet times orjust considers their origin, russian origin, is enough reason to love putin and to be loyal to russia secretly or openly. well, what are your feelings, mr kurkov, when you see putin on your tv screen saying that he is determined to save russians inside ukraine from — and i'm using his word
