Russia and Ukraine

[Thumpalumpacus]

Let me see if I have this straight.  You think that a country that has been invaded by another country should keep the invading country's monuments?  As what?  A reminder of the loss and destruction being caused?

That’s a country that doesn’t exist anymore. And Ukraine was a part of that country that no longer exists. So to me it’s like a Russian Cathedral built in Imperial times. A cultural heritage.

You don't seem to understand that there was -- and is -- a serious racist component to Russia's oppression that doesn't allow forgetfulness. Icons of the oppressor aren't needed. Ten million deaths made the oppression unforgettable.

Just so we're clear what we're talking about, here's some pictures. These are quite disturbing, so those readers at work may wish to leave them spoilered until a better time.

So I think it's pretty facile of you to criticize them for this removal of a Soviet symbol. Maybe the Armenians should still honor the Turks?
