  13. Just testing to see if this comment gets removed. Tis either you tube algorithm, block downvoting by putin trolls or a combination of both. This just got removed a few minutes ago. "The only referendum that matters here is the ukraine independance referendum of 1991. 92% voting in favour of independance from a union with russia. All the oblasts and regions voting in favour including crimea and the donbas. Ukraine were then recognised worldwide including by russia as a sovereign independant state. So when putin cloned puppet yanukovych scrapped plans to join the european union for one with the very country they voted 92% to leave in 1991 then no wonder a euromaidan occured. There was also the corruption and ever authoritarian methods used by yanukovychs government which led to the demonstration. Including changing the constitution and jailing his main political opponent yulia tymoshenko. Authoritarian methods which eventually led him to ordering his special berkut police unit to open fire on unarmed demonstrators killing 120 and injuring thousands at maidan. There had already been a similar demonstration against yanukovych in 2004 when the orange revolution overturned a yanukovych election victory by corruption. Which was proven as his poisoned opponent yuschenko won the rerun comfortably. Evidence of electoral corruption was also found in his abandoned palace when he fled after maidan casting doubt on his 2010 electoral victory. The only history that matters is the current history. Which is showing that imperial extreme far right nationalism didnt die out with the second world war. Putin seemingly wanting to create this "greater russian world" empire. Similar to the soviet empire he was brought up and served under. First he tried politically with yanukovych and through his state funded propaganda that was being broadcast to the russian speaking border areas of ukraine ever since he came to power. No doubt causing the political and later ethnic division required. After that failed he turned to his military and his failed 3 day regime change in kiev. Which has now turned into, not only a complete disaster for him, but a tragedy for the many ukranians and his own that have lost their lives through his dictatorial imperialist ambitions". Whatever happened to.........free speech.
