Ukrainians as a separate language group from Russians, hate the Russians because of the terrible and deadly Ukrainian famine created by Stalin as leader of the USSR during the 1930s. Stalin wasn't even Russian, he was Georgian and his policy of collectivization created the famine. He did not take into account, the horrible consequences of such a policy. Today's Russians are not Soviets, Putin is not Stalin, Russia is a capitalist nation, a nascent democray and Christian. The complete opposite of the USSR!

"The sun was broiling hot, red spots floated before his eyes, the air
was quivering on the floor of the quarry, and in the shimmer it seemed that
the ball was dancing in place like a buoy on the waves. He went past the
bucket, superstitiously picking up his feet higher and making sure not to
step on the splotches. And then, sinking into the rubble, he dragged himself
across the quarry to the dancing, winking ball. He was covered with sweat
and panting from the heat, and at the same time, a chill was running through
him, he was shuddering, as if he had a bad hangover, and the sweet chalk
dust gritted between his teeth. He had stopped trying to think. He just
repeated his litany over and over: "I am an animal, you see that. I don't
have the words, they didn't teach me the words. I don't know how to think,
the bastards didn't let me learn how to think. But if you really are ...
all-powerful ... all-knowing ... then you figure it out! Look into my heart.
I know that everything you need is in there. It has to be. I never sold my
soul to anyone! It's mine, it's human! You take from me what it is I want
... it just can't be that I would want something bad! Damn it all, I can't
think of anything, except those words of his ...'HAPPINESS FOR EVERYBODY,
FREE, AND NO ONE WILL GO AWAY UNSATISFIED!' ""
