Russia and Ukraine

[Thumpalumpacus]

But you didn't answer my question. Do you think Armenians should be forced to honor the Turks who slaughtered them? Because that is exactly what you state the Ukrainians should be doing.


The Germans aren't practicing denialism, though. The German government freely acknowledges its Nazi past, indeed educates German students about the guilt Germany carries for the atrocities.


I believe there are much better ways of doing this than retaining statues glorifying the oppressors. You know,, things like class-rooms and museums, books and television programs, and so on.

1) No that’s not what I said. Do read my post on the USSR once again
2) Yes, That’s what I am saying
3) Whatever you say. That’s not what I meant. I said something different. Then I agreed with the fact that (not suffering the horrible situation in Ukraine right now, I wasn’t in a good place to criticize the Ukrainians for doing that). I agree that they are probably right in willing to remove a symbol of Russian oppression. I think they are right to see it that way. It’s the Russians (or more precisely Putin) who dishonored what I see as a common cultural heritage in the first place.
 

And you still haven't answered my question.
