Я згадала Лесю Українку і Кобилянську

Serhiy Korolyov was Ukrainian, born in Zhytomyr, who was tortured by NKVD before becoming famous. The first human returned back alive was sent to space not by russia, but, in fact, by Ukraine.

The official version of Korolyov's death is silent on certain details, which, in fact, became the causes of death. During one of the interrogations, an NKVD investigator hit Korolyov in the face with a decanter, which resulted in a massive jaw fracture. In the camp, the bones fused incorrectly, due to which Korolyov's jaws could no longer open fully. Because of this, during the operation, Korolyov could not be intubated in an emergency, i.e., inserting a tube into his trachea for artificial respiration and maintaining the level of oxygen in the blood. Most likely, this is what led to the development of heart failure and subsequent death.

pretty devastating news just came in that if you want to be finished with your art project you have to work on it fairly consistently.

Hi tumblr artists

Please report milanson

She is a russian who explicitly supports russian invasion of Ukraine, russian military, draws zwastika (z) in her works, draws humanizations of countries, and degrades Ukraine by doing so. Also spreads russian propaganda

She has the audacity to include Ukraine in her tags

Draws the conservative russian political party affiliated with Putin and Medvedev

We can create a space without russian supporters freely drawing russian propaganda by reporting it

Upd, last picture: she's also very obviously racist, but I don't want to scroll her telegram anymore. You can check it out yourself 💀

Life in Ukraine:

– Hearing the explosions while wife gives birth is the next level of fucked up

Morning in Ukraine

a new rareship dropped/j

i need a fic where they go to therapy together

now, numbers explained⬇️

! This is hugely simplified and by no means am I saying the situation was the same or anything; no it wasn‘t, but it‘s interesting to see the paralelles !

1 - referring to years of English/British rule over Ireland and Russian rule over Ukraine.

2 - in both cases native language/culture was heavily disadvantaged in favour of the coloniser’s language/culture. What a surprise.

3 - he’s talking about the Great Famine of 1845-51, exacerbated by Britain’s lack of reaction and continued exports of provision from Ireland. Popular attitude being that „God has sent famine to punish the Irish”.

4 - she’s talking about 1933 Holodomor famine, a man-made famine where the soviet version of the Russian empire deliberately took grain and other stuff from peasants forcibly as a part of „state grain requisition“ and also forbid emigration so peasants were trapped to starve. Duh.

5 - Irish rebellions against the British rule, notably in 1798, 1803, 1820s O’Connel movement, 1848, 1867 etccc

6 - Ukrainian rebellions under Russian rule, for example Mazepa in early 1700s, Koliivschyna 1768, Haydamaky early 1800s etc

7 - the first Universal of the Ukrainian Central Council in 1917 proclaimed autonomy, not a full separation from Russia.

8 - similarly, Ireland aimed to get home rule first, which also kinda means staying within the empire but having their own parliament. But the developments pushes both nations to a fight for independence eventually.

9 - Thus we get Irish war of independence 1919-21 and Ukrainian liberational struggle 1917-22.

10 - Ireland ended up in a civil war following the signing of the Anglo-Irish treaty in 1922-23; In Ukraine…ugh, it was a mess, but to cut the long story short, there was UPR in bitter rivalry with the Hetmanate, there were communists, anarchists, the Western Ukrainian People’s Republic with different struggles from the rest of the Ukrainian People’s republic, there were local leaders…yes. I mean. Mad shit.

11. Unlike Ukraine, that got de-facto occupied by USSR, Ireland, except for 6 counties, became almost independent following the 1920s struggles.

12. „Almost” because it emerged as a British dominion, a free state rather than the republic; all the way until 1949. And the tensions over those six counties imploded again in 1970s.

13. And Ukraine is still. Fighting for her life against Russia as I’m typing this. Friendly reminder.

I could go on for ages about this; the economic impact, the nature of independence movements – but I’ll spare you for now. Ukrainians, have a meme I made in 2023
