We’re starting off with a very short one for the first week. This text was published in 1915, two years before the October revolution, and is sadly still highly relevant in the imperial core.

This reading group is meant to educate, and people from any instances federated with Lemmygrad are welcome. Any comments not engaging in good faith will be removed (don’t respond to hostile comments, just report them).

You can post questions or share your thoughts at any time. We’ll be moving on to a new text next week, but this thread won’t be locked.

You can read the text here.

    The Donbass is a territory unique from others in the region.

    Doesn’t make it a nation.

    I also believe that when two cultures come together, Russian and Ukrainian for example, that this creates a unique culture where traditions from both become mixed together.

    Sure, this is basically what Cossacks were, with some influence from nations of Caucasus; there were even some calls for independence.

    However this is not what happened in Donbass, ask anyone in Donbass what is their nationality and they will either say Russian or Ukrainian.
