I was born in the USSR and this is what saddens me the most.
We lived in full propaganda for years.
Just stop and remember...
When the USSR collapsed, I was only 16 years old.
But I understand that Soviet Union put the propaganda in the head of full generation: "poverty, shortage of goods, the slave system, russia is an older brother, and the Soviet Union is the best place in the world to live..." Now we are fighting for the Independence of Ukraine.
So let's be independent of the stereotypes imposed by the Soviet past and today's russia.
Happy Independence Day of Ukraine!
