I don't think he suggested hating all the Russians.

But I agree that we shouldn't promote or glorify any aspect of the Russian culture, including the language, until they face the truth and start making amends for their history. Instead they are currently doubling down on the atrocities and russification.

So yes, this article is misplaced here.

Majority of Ukrainians want nothing to do with Russia, Russia culture, language etc. Given that a bulk of "shared culture" is Russian attempts to suppress anything Ukrainian over past few hundred years.

This is where interest of Ukrainians lay.

And I'll quote you a Russian journalist, that had to run away from Russia and later was assassinated by Russians in Ukraine. 10 years ago or so he wrote: west should dig a deep ditch around Russia and fill it with alligators.

There is also non-zero amount of actual russians that think that russian culture brings only misery and should be destroyed together with russia (state as we know it)

Just a reminder, a lot of people throughout the world would say the same about your country.

Also, the journalist you seem to have in mind, Arkady Babchenko, is weirdly alive for someone that's been killed.

my country also suppressing ukrainian culture for hundreds of years ? it's something new for me

did I say that he was killed ?

No, your country genociding Palestinians, with the cruelty that would make a zetnik horrified. Saying that it, in its current state, should be destroyed certainly isn't a fringe opinion these days.

well, we have difference of opinion about genociding. and you obviously not sufficiently exposed to russian opinions about ukrainians: to kill all adults and reeducate children to be good russian and use them to fight west, is not exactly fringe opinion.

but given that we were talking about cultural suppression, in my country, there is an state financed arabic school system where everything is taught in arabic, state sponsors muslim clerics/mosques and by law all signage and documents must have arabic.

ps. kinda ironic that you actually want to genocide entire country while complaining about "genocide"

Please spare this forum the "it's not a war crime if I was having fun" argument. However many Arabic schools you have, after all that's happened in Gaza, nobody needs a morality lesson from an Israeli.

i don't have habit of giving morality lessons to somebody. especially to somebody who willingly misrepresents what happens in israel, ukraine and russia
