We have all heard about the territorial disputes between Ukraine and Russia, as well as its western neighbors. However, there are also claims from nationalists against the Belarusians. One might wonder, “What could they possibly take from them?” It turns out there is indeed something at stake. The discussion will […]
Russian nationalism of the ROA is nothing more than propaganda, inflated by Soviet sympathizers with anti-Russian tendencies.
