An diesem Tag im Jahr 1838 wurde Kastus Kalinouski geboren. Sein Widerstand gegen die russische Kaiserherrschaft im Aufstand von 1863–1864 wurde zu einem Eckpfeiler des belarussischen Nationalbewusstseins. Dieses Erbe lebt heute im Kalinouski-Regiment weiter, das für die Ukraine und damit für die Freiheit beider Völker kämpft.

I’ll gladly take thausant downwotes for my words

Don’t y’all think it is very ironic how legacy of someone who fought for someone’s else freedom is carried by the people who fight for someone’s else freedom as well? Yet, you praise him for fighting for *your* freedom. Uprisings leaders weren’t giving two fcks about *people of Belarus* and that logical, that’s logical to overthrow the rule you hate to establish rule you want yourself.

The Kalinowski regiment are no doubt considered heroes of Ukraine, for, well, fighting for Ukraine. That’s great to fight for your beliefs. How exactly did they helped people of Belarus? I am not downplaying their efforts in fighting for Ukrainian freedom but still. „Oh but they are killing da orks n shit, ruzzia would collapse at any moment thanks to that“ great, now what? Does that mean Georgians, Russians, Americans, Brits etc fight for freedom of Belarus as well? Btw, you are underestimating an amount of people and money Russia is able to throw into the meat grinder without much consciences.

Ukraine must no doubt greatly reward them for their efforts and spilled blood. But Belarus? They haven’t done a thing for you.

How interesting, a literal nobody!
