1/ Dec 12, 1890: Andriy Melnyk was born in Volia Yakubova, Lviv region. Officer of the Ukrainian Sich Riflemen, commander in WWI, Chief of Staff of the UPR Army (1919). After defeat, he refused to surrender, choosing an underground struggle for Ukrainian statehood.

The Ukrainian magazine "Vsesmikh" in Canada warned about Muscovy's intention to occupy Crimea as early as 1994. The SBU quickly suppressed the uprising at that time.

Corruption steals a nation’s future. On Anti-Corruption Day we remind: Ukraine pays a high price for freedom to let anyone trade its interests. Every exposure, every reform is a strike against the rot Moscow wants. Power must serve the people.

1/ Dec 1, 1991: Ukraine held a nationwide referendum. The question was simple: Do you support the Act of Declaration of Independence of Ukraine? The answer: 90.32% YES. Every region, every oblast, including Crimea and Donbas, said Ukraine is sovereign.

1/ Nov 5, 1968. Kyiv. Political prisoner Vasyl Makukh sets himself on fire on Khreshchatyk. “Down with the colonizers! Long live a free Ukraine!” he cries as flames consume him. A lone act of defiance against Russification and Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.

More huge donations to Come Back Alive?! Each one of them is upwards of $90m USD. I'm thrilled! CBA is trusted by the famously skeptical Ukrainian public. Smears on them in western circles have burnt down with a muscovyish-smell. Clearly, people who mean business see CBA's worth.

Soviet cinema was a tool of Russian colonialism. Under the guise of entertainment, films promoted Moscow and imposed Russian culture while marginalizing others. Our analysis reveals how this cultural imperialism worked. #colonialism #Russia #UkrainianView texty.org.ua/articles/116...

History teaches us one thing: Ukraine survives because people choose to act, not stay silent. Our defenders need electronic warfare equipment to stop russian FPV drones. Let’s be part of this history. 💵 paypal.com/pool/9i44fMS...

1/ On September 8, 1514, near Orsha, the combined Polish-Lithuanian-Ruthenian army under Kniaz Kostiantyn Ostrozky dealt a crushing defeat to Muscovy’s forces. Ostrozky used brilliant tactics: crossing the Dnipro overnight, feigned retreat, and devastating artillery fire that broke Muscovy’s lines.

1/ August 5, 1937 is the day the Great Terror began. Order No. 00447 of the NKVD launched the bloodiest campaign of political repression in the USSR. Millions were targeted as “anti-Soviet elements,” and extrajudicial killings began on a mass scale.
