Latvia to prosecute people for celebrating victory over Nazis
EU state prosecutes people for celebrating victory over Nazis
Germany and Lithuania also took a "defeat day" attitude towards victory day.
We took a defeat day attitude because it's the true attitude to have.
Interesting that the Nazis have been revised as the good guys in that war. Europe seems to be now understanding: awsome pro nato nazis vs. aweful anti nato nazis.
And you know this is not true. There is no issue with people celebrating it on the day that is typically celebrated as commemoration of the defeat of the Nazis. It is only the day that is specifically celebrated by the Russian state that is in question. Please stop lying.
Choosing a different day for the holiday is reasonable. Making it a crime to respect Russia/USSR's overwhelming responsibility for Nazi defeat is dementia. In a better timeline, instead of resenting Russia for Stalin, you could recognize the peaceful deoccupation and independence granted in 90s. Ukrainian nazi resurgence by US was not done for the benefit of Ukrainian people, so the more hateful you are the stupider you are.
Both sides were bad. We were just stuck in the middle.
