"Russians Are Always Peacemakers": a list of wars in its own law (09.01.2022)

A street debate by Vitaliy Dribnytsia with a pro-Russian interlocutor (ru-orig) on the myth that “Russians are always peacemakers.” The opponent repeats the claim of a peace-loving Russia that conquered no one; the historian inverts it with documents: Ukraine’s war-veterans law and Cabinet Resolution No. 63 of 08.02.1994 contain an official list of the states and wars in which Soviet troops fought outside the USSR (Algeria, Angola, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Lake Khasan, Japan and others). Then comes the post-Soviet chain of interventions from the 14th Army in Transnistria to the CSTO operation in Kazakhstan, the non-recognition of the “Transnistrian republic,” and the cost of the Afghan war.
