Seven million of its citizens fought in the Red Army and in partisan detachments to restore independence and glory to their Ukraine. More than two thousand people became Heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes twice and thrice. And their names still bear the streets and squares of Ukrainian cities and villages. And then these and other heroes recreated Ukraine from the ashes of the war. And it became, both in area, in industrial and scientific potentials, in terms of the level of education of the population, somewhere on a par, and somewhere it surpassed the first capitalist countries of Europe. And not every country in the world has an aviation and rocket and space industry! And Ukraine had. But it was then the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist (Ukrainian SSR) within the Soviet Union. Should this HISTORY be destroyed in order to become “part of Europe”?
