This
person has said so eloquently what Ukrainians have been trying to get
the world to understand. Although I would not call it an "outburst."

An emotional but sincere outburst of pro-Ukrainian fervor by Kora Smirnova:
“I’m a Smirnov and I never forget that my grandfather and his family came to Ukraine from Russia after the war partitioned the land. I'm grateful that Ukraine accepted us foreigners, gave us a home, work, security—and never offended us. No one in my entire life has ever complained that I spoke my native language and that I sing my country’s folk songs. No one has ever called me a ‘moskal'ka.’
“I was born in Poltava. Ukraine fed me and raised me as one of her own. When I moved to Kyiv, I never once heard the word ‘limit.’ I’m 100% Ukrainian, although I have not one drop of Ukrainian blood! Why is it that I never think of shouting, ‘I’m Russian. There are lots of us Russians here, so this land belongs to Russia!’?
“The rest of the Russians in Ukraine, what? Has your memory entirely failed you? What do you mean ‘this is our land’? Thankless wretches! You are all guests here, whom the country has given you shelter and received you like its own. What kind of bastard do you have to be to now chase out and kill the owners, screaming that this is ‘our home’?! ‘Crimea is Russian’? Bastards with short memories! Have you forgotten what your forefathers did with the Tatars? Have you forgotten how much blood of Tatar men was shed and how many tears and grief we brought to the original population there? How entire Tatar families were packed and moved to Siberia?
“Yes, you all will have to spend another millennium on your knees now, begging for their forgiveness! I’m a Russian Ukrainian! And I’m prepared to chase out Moskali from my dear Ukraine with a sword to their necks, together with my dear Ukrainians!
“PS: Stepan Bandera was a hero of Ukraine who spent all his life fighting, with everything that he had, for Ukraine’s freedom! So, yep, I’m a ‘banderivka’!”
