Russia has wiped out the historic Swedish village in Ukraine
For more than three centuries, a small Swedish community survived in Ukraine. Now it is on the verge of disappearing entirely.
The village of Gammalsvenskby has been flattened, and only two people remain after an elderly woman recently passed away.
The village, located along the Dnipro River in Kherson, is home to descendants of Swedes who were forcibly relocated there in the 18th century after Russia conquered Estonia.
Now the centuries old community may be nearing its end.
The village has been hit brutally hard. According to those who have managed to flee, the Russian army fires at anything that moves.
When Russia launched its full scale invasion in February 2022, they occupied the village, only to be driven out in November that same year. Before withdrawing, they tore down every power pole, mined the entire area, and blew up the main road, “Kungsvägen,” which had been built for a royal visit in 2008.
The remaining villagers still speak a form of 18th century Swedish.
Today, Russian forces sit just across the Dnipro and bombard the area daily.
The terror bombing continues, and every road is mined.

De gustibus non est disputandum. The implication is that everyone's personal preferences are merely subjective opinions that cannot be right or wrong, so they should never be argued about as if they were. So...Играть это как дышать. Нам не надо напоминать об этом.

Today, on the day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,
I want to remember Oleksandr Matsievsky, whom the Russian bastards killed after the words
"Glory to Ukraine!
He was killed in captivity, which is a war crime in itself.
Hero of Ukraine (2023, posthumously),
soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Glory to Ukraine
Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

1. Театр взорвали Азовцы изнутри.
2. Не погиб ни один ребёнок.
3. Случайно упала бомба, что, теперь не праздновать? итп...
Не забываем про свою руссофобию, она всё ещё недостаточна.
