Dropping from 50 million prior to the dissolution of the USSR.

This means over 30 years, it was not 10 million Ukrainians that left the country – it was 20 million.

Absolutely mind-boggling.

    Watch this get blamed on either “communism” or “Russian genocide”

      They are already counting some people running from the maidan shock therapy as victims of Russia. This war will leave Ukraine in such a mess between emmigration and separatism that they will never count how many exactly people they have and they will count all the difference as “victims of genocide” by Russia.

      Btw. This is the very same method anticommunists already successfully use against China, there was 30 million not existing people counted in one botched estimate in 50’s, which was corrected later, but those people are counted as victims of the last famine, and it’s chief reason why the number range is so wildly wide (they also probably counted their neverborn).
