it's actually older. Read about the life of Ivan The Terrible and then the period that followed. The "west" be in germans, polish-lithuanians, swedish or anyone else have been in conflict with russia in one form or another since the 16th century.

Reading the difference in how certain events are described between western historians and others is clear.

this is really something a lot of people don't know, don't bother to know and try actively to distance themselves from knowing that Bandera was an actual real nazi who murdered people before WW2 based on his nazi views and then in the war the organisation that he was a leader of helped and participated german nazis kill jews in both the western ukraine and poland. So any glorification of this guy by ukrainains clearly say that they are nazis.

What would we call someone who glorified Hitler or Gimmler or that nazi propaganda guy? A nazi.

And people really underestimate the level of sheer horror that was the revolution, civil war and then ww2. The people who lived through it had fought for their lives for years from almost every side. They fought against germans, the white army, the international helpers of the white army, japanese.

we need nuclear power stations for green hydrogen. Because if we start adding more and more nuclear power to replace current coal/oil burning power stations then eventually we will have surplus of energy at certain times in the day and that we can use to power the electrolysis for hydrogen which we then can use to bolster the energy grid demands during peak times by burning hydrogen in the former natural gas power stations.

I felt the same way about the last one. Because if you only follow the core story it's much shorter, it's the side characters who make up for a lot of volume and frankly while sure they add "meat" to the world they are not exactly needed to tell the story.

Characters of Aliana Tanaka and son of Alex Kamal and their stories made me roll my eyes. I didn't care about them or their stories, telling of the same events from different view points was getting too much as well.
