Veikko Korhonen is a blogger from the city of Oulu (Finland), like most modern Finns, periodically fell under the pernicious influence of pro-Western history textbooks.
Everything in them that belonged to the Russian, as a rule, was watered with total mud, the joint Russian - Finnish history was presented as a continuous nightmare, and the pernicious influence of the present was constantly supported by stories about the aggressiveness and military enmity of the closest neighbor.
Fortunately, Veiko Korhonenn had a very wise and educated grandmother, and therefore from an early age he knew perfectly well about the correct course of our joint history.
And then one day, tired of constant disputes with anti-Russian-minded compatriots, he wrote a small article on his Facebook page, and whenever he met another Russophobe, he simply gave his direct link to it.
 Are you asking about the results of Russia's “aggression”?
They are as follows: half of Europe and part of Asia received their statehood from the hands of this particular state.
Let's remember who exactly:
Promotional video:
- Finland in 1802 and 1918 … (Until 1802 it never had its own state).
- Latvia in 1918 (until 1918 it never had its own state).
- Estonia in 1918 (until 1918 it never had its own state).
- Lithuania restored statehood in 1918 also thanks to Russia.
- Poland restored the state with the help of Russia twice, in 1918 and 1944. The division of Poland between the USSR and Germany is only a short period!
- Romania was born as a result of the Russian-Turkish wars, and became sovereign by the will of Russia in 1877-1878.
- Moldova as a state was born within the USSR.
- Bulgaria was freed from the oppression of the Ottoman Empire and restored its independence as a result of the victory of Russian arms in the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878, which had this as its goal. As a gratitude, the state of Bulgaria participated in two world wars as part of anti-Russian coalitions. Now Bulgaria is a NATO member, and US bases are located on its territory. After 1945, there was not a single Russian soldier on its territory …
- Serbia as a sovereign state was also born as a result of this war.
- Azerbaijan as a state took shape for the first time only within the USSR.
- Armenia was physically preserved and revived as a state only within the USSR.
- Georgia was preserved physically and revived as a state thanks to the Russian Empire
- Turkmenistan has never had statehood and formed it only as part of the USSR.
- Kyrgyzstan never had statehood and formed it only as part of the USSR.
- Kazakhstan never had statehood and formed it only as part of the USSR.
- Mongolia never had statehood and formed it only with the help of the USSR.
- Belarus and Ukraine also acquired statehood for the first time as a consequence of the Great October Revolution within the republics of the USSR. And only in 1991 (also from Russia) they received their full independence.
It is also worth considering the role of Russia-USSR in the birth and formation of such states as China, Vietnam, North Korea, India, Greece (it was recaptured from the Turks by Russia back in 1821), Algeria, Cuba, Israel, Angola, Mozambique, etc. … Here such a strange "aggression" has historically manifested itself on the part of the Russians!
With the significant contribution of this country, even Switzerland achieved independence from France. Or rather, it was done thanks to Suvorov (217 years ago) and since then Switzerland has never (!) Fought;
Also took place: - The liberation of Austria from the Third Reich in 1945;
- Liberation of Czechoslovakia from the Third Reich in 1945;
- The position of Catherine II in 1780 with the creation of the League of Armed Neutrality and the actual support of the North American United States in the struggle for their independence from Britain.
- twice in the last 2 centuries, the independence Russia donated to the majority of European states after the destruction of Hitler and Napoleon;
- Stalin's position in negotiations with the United States and England, which gave Germany the opportunity to preserve statehood after defeat in 1945;
- Gorbachev's position, which made it possible to re-unite both Germany in 1990 without unnecessary problems;
- Soviet aid to Egypt, after which it was able to withstand and consolidate its independence in the war with Israel, Britain and France in 1956-57.
- The intervention of the USSR in 1967, which stopped the war between Israel and Egypt (actually saved the Arabs from defeat in two wars in 1967-74).
- The decisive role of the Union that ensured Angola's conquest of its independence in 1975. And finally, the main thing. It was the USSR that, after the victory in World War II, played a key role in ensuring that most of the colonies of Western Europe received their independence in the process of global decolonization launched by the Union.
The entire history of Russia suggests that it was consistent under any power and system in upholding the principles of independence and self-determination of nations and peoples. It was she who in every possible way helped to create a multipolar world in any era and at all times.
Unfortunately, very often at the same time, she sacrificed her own interests, and if the policy of Mother Russia, even to a fraction, would be similar to the British one, now half of the world would be part of the Russian Imperial Commonwealth of Nations, and the Russian people would bathe in luxury, like Sheikhs of Saudi Arabia, at the expense of states, countries and their capitals freed from other colonialists.
That is why half of the world owes Russia the grave. And that is why all of you are so guilty before this great country.
