Also why are there two republics and not one? And was/is there really genocide in Donbas? I know about the 2014 fascist led coup by NATO aligned neo nazis and all that, but I dont really understand about the situatoin in east Ukraine, except that they are mostly russian speaking and have pro russian sentiments (which the west ukrainians dont like).

Edit: Also what exactly is Minsk II, why do people say its dead and who broke it and why?

      Solshenitsyn ended up in a labor camp because he was a Russian fascist and believed that bolsheviks are all overt or covert Jews who want to destroy Russia. Of course he opposed policy which acknowledged multiethnic character of former Russian Empire. Cities of Donbas has been split evenly between Russian speaking Ukrainians and Russians and Ukrainian speakers dominated the countryside both in 1920s and now, as censuses show.

        Interesting, I’ve seen other references to Solzhenitsyn being a shithead but haven’t really looked into it more. Where can one find the source for that and/or read more?

          Read his own book, “Two Hundred Years Together”, it’s filled with antisemitic and reactionary garbage. You can find citations to multiple reviews on the book’s Wikipedia page. Same goes to Gulag Archipelago, it’s filled with far-right dogwhistles about commie Jews murdering good Russian patriots. Here you can read an article in a mainstream British newspaper discussing this, a proof that it’s not just communists trying to discredit him.
