Funny, people elsewhere love them -- precisely because they allow far better public services.

And corrupt bureraucrats hate them because they dramatically reduce corruption.

They did this throughout the USSR, everywhere, where the population wasn't Russian.

It wasn't communism. Oddly, Sov "internationalism" slightly attenuated Russification efforts.

In Ukraine they went as Russia for full-bore assimilationist colonialism.

Important thread from Gen. Mick Ryan, @WarintheFuture
RT @WarintheFuture: The reality here is that the West is saying that they don’t wish to step up military production to any great extent because of the cost. Meanwhile, the Russians are beginning to mobilise their industry. 1/9 🧵 (Thanks @shashj for raising this issue).

I had to deal with this jerk, who dismissed human rights concerns about Russia while banging on about the Baltic States when no serious organizations could find a thing.

🎯from Mike @McFaul
RT @McFaul: Many predicted that the Russians would take Kyiv in 2 weeks. Many were shocked by the speed and success of the Kharkiv counteroffensive. Just days ago, many warned that the battle for Kherson could stretch indecisively for months as Russians were dug in there. 1/ THREAD

Good analytic thread by one of the more astute observers of Russia, @MuKappa
