Sometimes I think back to the genesis of the Ukrainian state i | Russians With Attitude

Sometimes I think back to the genesis of the Ukrainian state in its current, post-Maidan form. How the Armenian-Ukrainian gangster Avakov, after becoming Minister of the Interior, created a bunch of Dirlewangeresque "Volunteer Battalions", invited their commanders to Kiev & then graciously allowed them to stand in line to devour the leftovers from a Joe Biden visit (VP back then). There are episodes in every revolutionary state's early history people simply block out, images so grotesque they leave no stain in public memory. Like the Bolshevik sailors who'd get high on "Baltic tea" (vodka + cocaine), put on a ton of makeup they stole from prostitutes & party through the streets of Petrograd in 1917.
