I bought a russian advent calendar. Every time you open a window an oligarch falls out.
Is there a version with Bill Gates, George Soros, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Warren Buffett, Bernard Arnault, Michael Bloomberg, Carlos Slim Helu, Amancio Ortega, Larry Ellison and so on?
Bonus if there is also the former president of Ukraine Petro "Chocolate King" Poroshenko.
I'm making fun of people who calls Russian millionaires "oligarchs" and Western billionaires "philanthropists".
And Petro Porošenko, the former president of Ukraine (2014-2019) is a billionaire because of Roshen, his giant company in the field of sweets. And he is the Neo-Nazi who persecuted Russian-speaking people in East Ukraine bombing the Donbass, leaving the Crimea without water and other atrocities.
Envy? People like him, Gates and Soros are criminals.
You're using a private definition of "Nazism" here, incompatible with what everyone in political science is using. What Poroshenko was doing after 2014 was defending his country from Russian invasion that started from illegal, armes annexation of Crimea, where Ukrainian army actually surrendered to avoid bloodbath, but then Russia went further and invaded Ukrainian Donbas. Calling one's defending from an armed invasion "atrocities" is twisting the responsibility for the war by 180° and victim blaming.

No, this is Western propaganda, there are videos of Poroshenko from 2014 saying at a rally that Russian-speaking people will "live in cellars, their children won't go to school" and so on.
There is also a video of Zelensky when he was a comedian in 2015 making fun of people from Crimea not having water.
You were tragically lied to by Russian propaganda.
I was in Ukraine dozens of times before and after 2014. I was speaking Russian all the time.
And I was in Russia, last time this January.
And while since 2014 there's certainly sentiment against Putin in Ukraine (he invaded and took part of their country, guess why!), it's clearly directed at Putin's vision of imperial Russia, not at anyone speaking Russian, and the fact that I'm well and alive is the best evidence for that.
In Russia however, there's an overwhelming and aggressive sentiment against all Ukrainians, the very idea of Ukraine as an independent country, and people are on emotional level obsessed with its destruction.
@shaman @Mordko
It's you who was fooled by Western propaganda, the videos of Poroshenko and Zelensky are there.
The ~14 000 dead in Donbass since 2014 are recognized by UN.
In 2010 Yushchenko appointed the Nazi Stepan Bandera as hero of Ukraine.
It's official dude, it's just that Western mainstream media won't tell you and make people live in a bubble.
@post @shaman psssht, if they're western they're *Visionaries*, not oligarchs! /S
