On May 8, 1945, Europe declared victory in WWII. But not all of the victorious armies brought freedom or liberation. On this Victory Day, we remember not only victory. We also remember those for whom the end of World War II meant life under a different totalitarian regime.

As if any of today's left thinkers approaches the intellectual caliber of Lenin, Trotsky, Luxemburg, Gramsci, Lukacs. The crises of revolutionary and counterrevolutionary ideas are interconnected and mutually amplifying.

The strategy of "bringing the war onto Russian territory" has clearly inflicted even greater suffering, particularly on ordinary Ukrainians. The humanitarian catastrophe, which primarily affects civilians, is being masked by polished propaganda. A singer who is a friend of the president even released a song claiming that even without electricity and heat, Ukrainians still have light and warmth in their souls. I've already come across several Reels on social media with negative reactions, where Ukrainians say that without meeting basic needs—when it's freezing cold, with no way to wash, cook, or stay warm—there will be no "warmth and light" inside anyone. Today, journalists from Hromadske visited an apartment in Kyiv where the indoor temperature was -5°C/23 ∘F. That's a temperature at which a person can fall asleep and never wake up. "Since last November, the building's electrical grid has been unable to cope—residents have had to literally ration electricity by the hour. And overnight into Friday, the building also suffered a fire. Now, living there has become simply impossible. Yet some people remain, with nowhere else to go. Among them is 56-year-old Valeriy Antonovych, who gets around in a wheelchair." — that's what the journalists reported about that building. There are reportedly hundreds of such high-rises these days in Kyiv. Stories are pouring in from all sides from acquaintances, relatives, and friends. Social media is exploding with accounts of life in subzero temperatures without electricity, sometimes without heat or water. Our leadership continues to blame Putin and the West—for not providing enough missiles—and keeps confirming new and further strikes deep inside Russia, which have nowhere near the same impact as those felt in Ukraine. Of course, Russia is the aggressor, and its shelling has long amounted to crimes against humanity. But many people are asking whether this strategy of transferring the war to Russia is worth the suffering endured by the Ukrainian nation. Will we ever learn the true numbers of those who die from the cold, or will they be covered up by yet another wonderful song about joy and inner light? How many people will leave the country again now, never to return? And will you condemn them for it?
