2/25 Sotsialnyi Rukh / Let us recollect that, more than a century ago, Lenin recognized Ukrainian sovereignty precisely because of the dangers of the “Great-Russian chauvinism.” No wonder this irritates Vladimir Putin so much.
“I was brought up in a steel plant township (Bhilai) that was set up with Soviet collaboration. My father had been sent among a lot of engineers to Kyiv for training. 〜 we would talk about the Soviet Union as Soviet Russia (सोवियत रूस). These were the same words in Hindi.
one of my co-editors had said that Kavita had taken a position antithetical to the party's position by referring to Stalin as genocidal vis-à-vis Holodomor.／Now I realize that the criticism of Stalin is allowed only up till the point that Mao criticized Stalin.”
