Will they ever stop westsplaining?

It’s a shame that western commentators continue to routinely describe countries that unwillingly spent a tiny fraction of their history as part of the Soviet Union, or the Soviet bloc, as “former Soviet” or “post-Soviet” states - even though the USSR has been dead as a dodo for decades.

Hopefully, these terms (and the stereotypes that go with them) will eventually disppear as these countries continue to develop and evolve, but I’m not holding my breath….

Congratulations to the documentary team — Mstyslav Chernov, Evgeniy Maloletka, Vasylisa Stepanenko, FRONTLINE PBS and Associated Press — on this well-deserved award!

“I wish I had never made this film,” Chernov said receiving an award. “I wish to be able to exchange this to Russia never attacking Ukraine, never occupying our cities. I wish to give all the recognition to Russia not killing tens of thousands of my fellow citizens.”

We thank the Academy for recognizing the war reporters’ work that helps spread the truth about Russia’s war crimes and the great tragedy of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol.

While receiving Ukraine’s first Oscar award for “20 Days in Mariupol”, the director Mstyslav Chernov sheds light on Russia’s atrocities against Ukrainians and calls to make sure that the history record is set straight and that the truth prevails.
