The Ukrainian capital is marking the 65th anniversary of the Victory in WWII along with other former Soviet members of the anti-Hitler coalition.
This is pure soviet russian propaganda. World war 2 started when stalin's russian empire allied with Hitler in the Molotov Ribbentrop pact in 1939. Ukrainian people were destroyed first by Nazi Germany and then by Stalin's Red Army. Both of these fascist regimes were enemies of the ukrainian people who were slaughtered in the millions.
Thank you Russia for liberating the World from Nazism and Fascism. May all the of them who sacrificed their lives for liberty rest in eternal peace! And the most important of all we should never allow their sacrifices for our freedom to be forgotten!!
try imagining all that under Juščenko....
@Boby ... do i hear some western propaganda there ???
How many Ukrainians fought with the Germans against the Soviets in the Second World War and how many continued to fight against the Soviets after the war was over? I find it a liitle odd that no one ever talks about this, maybe it will take some time just like it took the Russians/Soviets a long time to admit what they did to the country of Poland in 1939.
Good to see that the new leadership in Ukraine seems to be adopting a more rational attitude vis-a-vis Russia, the country that helped Ukraine throw off the nazi yoke and defeat the most evil system the world has ever seen.

You are right, claymore, there were some Ukraininan turncoats who fought on the Nazi side against their own brothers for an evil, alien ideology. The mass murderer Demyanyuk, currently on trial for his crimes, is one of them. But all European countries involved in the war against Nazism had their share of traitors. To me, these people are scum and deserve nothing but contempt.

In your case, little knowledge is not so dangerous as it is embarassing. So why parade your ignorance of history to those of us who are a little better informed about it? Read up on the subject instead of parroting anti-Soviet propaganda, of which you seem to have taken a liberal dose.
The Russians should be proud of their victories over facism and communism.
