Yet another example why western style “democracy” is actually just fascism with extra steps.

From having up to 25% of the vote in some oblasts and 115.000 members to being banned, having their symbols forbidden and their leaders arrested, in the span of just 3 years. What happened to the KPU was a tragedy.

I am honestly surprised it took this long, I had just assumed he was already disappeared after they banned the communist party from existing.

and prevented any teaching about the positive aspects of Soviet history in schools.

Yet when I was a kid I was still being taught how positive slavery was in the US, and how people were actually better off as slaves than free. (That school thankfully is now a parking lot, which is all it deserves). Very happy to have left that country when I was young.

Watch every “free speech” advocate, online and offline both, be either completely mute on this, or wholeheartedly support it for a variety of bullshit reasons. I can already predict some: “He was a Russian asset”, “commies are ebil muh horodomoru”, “they are being invaded and need security”, “oh yeah well putin personally murders dissidents with a machine gun”.

Poor guy. He’s likely screwed

“Ukrainian democracy” for you folks

But we gotta support Ukraine because it is on the frontline of the fascist free world!1!1!1! /s

Didn’t the previous communist leader disappear too? I remember reading a few years ago that he was found missing. Probably dead.
