That is not an easy task. To call Russia a colonial empire is to challenge decades of scholarship that has shied away from viewing Russia’s history through a colonial prism. Russia’s shared history with Ukraine is complex and less marked by relations of racial hierarchy and economic subjugation typical of colonialism, many scholars have argued.
But Ms. Naiem and others say Russia’s centuries-long efforts to impose its language on Ukraine, occupy its territory with settlers and rewrite its history from Moscow’s perspective are all hallmarks of colonialism.

hutzpah. I remember arriving in Kharkov in 1985 and being amazed that all cultural life was in Ukrainian! Store signs, newspapers, magazines, books, television, everything was in Ukrainian, and this Ukrainian prostitute has the nerve to lie like that.
She does not know (does not want to know) that all plants, factories, power plants, nuclear power plants, entire industries, hospitals, schools, vocational schools, institutes, universities, the entire infrastructure was built by the Communist Union.
During the “independent” Ukraine nothing has been built! They only know how to destroy and plunder.
Since the tsarist times Little Russia (in the 20th century it became “Ukraine”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Russia ) was loved, nurtured and cherished, in the Soviet Union it was the same, they taught, built, entertained, gave everything.
As a result, the back stabbing was received from the Ukrainians.
