Remember that elderly women that offered seeds to russian soldiers “so that at least some sunflowers will grow where they are going to die”. I think that kind of counts as greeting with flowers?
Genocidal/Politicidal history doesn’t predict political opposition though (e.g. Kazakhstan being struck by starvation campaigns as well, but juggling neutrality now)
At times like this I like to look back and reflect on old vatnik cope and see just how far we’ve come.
Ah, this one really takes me back.
“People brought under the heel of russian empire and against whom Stalin committed genocide by starvation will surely greet us with flowers.”
