Petlura, the Ukainian who fought Russia a century ago...

Symon Vasylyovych Petliura was a Ukrainian politician and journalist. He became the Supreme Commander of the Ukrainian Army and the President of the Ukrainian People's Republic during Ukraine's short-lived sovereignty in 1918–1921, leading Ukraine's struggle for independence following the fall of the Russian Empire in 1917.

Була така спрва) Дуже приємно що наші друзі та сусіди ще пам'ятють про ті події.
Хотів би подякувати знімальній групі за зроблену працю, а також народам Угорщини, Польщі, Чехії та Словаччини. Величезне вам дякую за все що ви робите!

Petliura was Zelensky of that time and we all know how he and such Ukraine ended...and as Mark Twain once said. History maybe not repeat itself but rhymes...

Imagine how much better place to live Earth would be, If we wipe out, that shame, called rusia. The age of prosperity and peace for humanity.

Thanks for this short video on history! It deserves more views. As back then, we Polish naturally stand with Ukrainians 🇺🇦🇵🇱 today aswell, regardless of political affiliation, christian or non-religious, gender identity and other internal differences in modern Poland. We both have a common goal... and that is to stop soviet Russian imperialism and to make sure that Europe remains democratic.

Let us not forget that Petliura was the supreme commander of the UNA when the latter exterminated tens of thousands of innocent Jewish civilians. And he was not assassinated by an NKVD operative; he was assassinated by a Jewish poet named Shalom Shwarzbard, who was an anarchist, not a bolshevik, and who acted out of a desire to punish the man responsible for the pogroms in which his family was killed. We should stand with Ukraine now against Russian imperialism, but that does not mean Ukrainians get to heroize a mass murderer like Petliura.
