Well I said this article was weird cause of several reasons. The main one being if you read the article there is a specific way they talk of ukraine. Apart from suggesting liberalization made the victims of holocaust heard, they also suggest its cause of Ukraine's 2014 "Revolution of Dignity". But it also mentions prior that the OUN or other ulranationationists pushing how they want a OUN are victims narrative. It just flips between the genocide isn't acknowledged cause just like the OUN or other nationalists the communists also just want to valorize the red army and not really acknowledge genocide. Only liberalization did the right thing.

Which is very bizarre, since like 90s or even post 2014 if anything there has been more concerted effort to destroy monuments. Whether its victims of holocaust in ukraine or soviet war heroes. And subsequent push for victims of holodomor or even efforts to push banderites as victims through lobbies in canada or USA.

The video itself if you observed also makes the point in the end about war in ukraine and how the stalinist repression/policy led to it.

Yeah I agree it is farcical. Even beyond some liberals that champion EU or whatever. There's self proclaimed history learned "leftists" who keep saying how the whole unity in peoples is a stalinist ploy to cover their crimes and downplay nazi crimes. Its just very disorienting.
