That’s how occupation works, erase everything that even resembles the people that lived there.
In Cyprus even the Turkish names of the cities/villages were changed because they sounded too Greek and they were replaced with names directly from Turkey (e.g Morphou is Omorfo in Turkish (omorfo means beautiful in Greek) and it was turned to Guzelyurt=which means sth like beautiful in turkish but in most cases it was just a random name)
It’ll be interesting to see if the graffiti returns……
25k dead to change i to и
humans are really cool sometimes
I hope karma does its job with these fuckers.
Sadly, Cultural Destruction, as stated by the Article 1 of the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide does not count as an attack.
Poor Ukraine. Same cultural erasure happened with the Armenian city of Shushi, azeris changed the name to Shusha. The funniest part is that shusha has its origins in the armenian langugae.
Five days later some random Bulgarian passing by making the blue to green and a huge sign “kur” under it.
