For the #Ukraine episode I needed a address this topic, but I soon found out there was no possible way I could fit even a fraction of the complicated topic in the episode without taking a super long time. Therefore I had to make this separate video as a reference guide that will be referred to in the episode. Thanks to the subscribers that helped me with information. Of course not everything ws mentioned so if you'd like to add anything feel free to put it in the comments.

My heart goes out to the Tartars, the Soviet oppression and deportation is often an overlooked part of history. To me Crimea deserves to not be under any foreign rule, though obviously independence means a lot of responsibility so perhaps the next best option is not being under the successor regime to the one who stole your country.

@@Mr0Anonymous0 Euromaidan is one example. The Democratically elected President was overthrown even though most Ukrainians didn’t support the Maidan Revolution. Most of the violence came from Ukrainian nationalists like Svoboda and Right Sector. Ethnic Russians were persecuted and Crimeans did vote to join Russia. This has been confirmed by third parties like Pew Research Center. Because of this the Ukrainians cut off the water supply to Crimeans, even though they claim that Crimeans are their own people. The Wests views on national integrity for Ukraine have completed changed from their prior position on Kosovo, for example. The current invasion against Ukraine, is just an attempt at territorial expansion. Though partially it was also to return Crimea’s water supply. With Ukraine as their territory, Russia would hold the majority of Europe’s grain supply which they could use as a bargaining chip. At the same time, the West has also been highly provocative and they aren’t paranoid to think that Western interference in Ukraine is an attempt to destroy Russia.

Note that the Constitution of the Soviet Union expressly stated that any of the republics, of which there were 15 by the end of the union, had the right to leave the Soviet Union. People normally forgot about that rule, given, you know, the Soviet Union, but once relative free speech and democracy became a thing in the late 1980s, people looked at that rule again. It was not just Ukraine but also Russia for the record actually cited that clause to leave (which eventually made Kazakhstan the last of the Soviet Republics) as well as all the other republics, except basically for the three Baltic republics which said they were never legally part of the Soviet Union in the first place.

@@janisber111 I don't really think that is an especially interesting point given that the Russian empire existed in 1917 and the Russian Republic existed until 1918, and it would have a lot of traits aligned with a civil war and I guess you could argue that whoever was going to form the government in the capital would be claiming to reimpose the lawful authority that existed prior to the First World War. The main norm against invasions and ethnic autonomy would really be with the League of Nations getting going, and bolstered by the Second World War and the United Nations. I chose to cite the Soviet Constitution as a document expressly stating what even was the standard for the Soviet Union to abide by (also that the Soviet Union signed the UN Charter too). It is most straightforward to discuss the morality of a conflict after that point given that we can easily establish some ground rules binding even on political leaders.

For Finland, it took alot of decades to heal after the Winter war. Say 50 years, for when most had who remembered it had retired or died. However, that happened 1) after finlandization in the entire winter war and economic benefits from cooperating with the soviets, 2) The winter war happened in a time with alot of wars, and the continuation war and colaboration with Hitler was condemned especially by the left after the war, and the winter war is ultimately connected with the continuation war. Although Finland was the one being attacked first in both wars. So anyways, I feel like it would alot more time than 50 years for Ukraine to heal, even adding things like mass media, targeting cicilians on purpose after the world had agreed not to do that, borth rates being lower etc. I am 22 years now and I'm sure the relationship will improve some time after the war, especially if Ukraine wins, but I don't see the two countries ever becoming brotherly nations again in my lifetime.
