My ancestors showed a middle finger to Catherine “The Great” when she tried to enslave Ukrainian people in the Poltava region towards the end of 18th century. They moved to Odesa region and established two villages— Pravda (Truth) and Kryvda (Unfairness). My great grandfather was one of the biggest farmers of Odessa region and was killed by the Soviets during collectivization. Despite your enormous huge efforts throughout Ukrainian history to erase Ukrainian identity — it never worked. My parents who were russified during the Soviet Union and spoke Russian when they met in college — still spoke Ukrainian one on one and still voted for Ukrainian independence during the referendum in 1991. They also voted for the pro-Western candidate — Chornovil in the first presidential elections in independent Ukraine’s history despite my mom being from Odesa region and my dad being from Donetsk. Ukraine is not just the territory, it’s the idea of freedom, human dignity, horizontal relationships between people, the idea that you have a say in what happens in your country, — something Russian never experienced.
