Yesterday was the 51st anniversary since The Betrayal of Cossacks
and the subsequent Operation Keelhaul.
As we see from the examples of history,
1) history is written by the winners; all the other nuances are usually drowned into oblivion; and
2) nothing is so simple as to call it just black or white, good or bad - one's happiness is someone else's tragedy.

What happened there was one of the ugliest acts in history, and sadly too few people acknowledge this nowadays.
