Short, sweet and spot on. No other country has expanded in 20th century like Ukraine - from non-existence to 2nd largest in Europe, and most of that due to various Soviet leaders (a hard historic reality, but mentioning this is anathema to current Kiev regime). But just as 2014 was undoing Khrushchev's generosity of 1954, looks like 2022 will undo Lenin's from 1922. Remains to be seen if 2025 will see Stalin's generous land grant go back to its previous owners (in some way Poland already has their paws ready for it).
