Russians in Minnesota find the Ukraine war both simple and complex

Many are horrified by "Putin's war," but they realize those back home may not see it the same way

Maria Zavialova arrived in Minnesota 21 years ago from Russia with two small children, a box of books and $120.

Now curator and head of exhibitions and collections at the Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis, Zavialova said she's brimming with "pain, indignation and rage at what's happening to Ukraine and Russia."

"All my thoughts are about stopping the war and dismantling the government that's doing this," she said.

Minnesota has a large Ukrainian population. It would be nice to get their viewpoint on this war as well. While I understand that this is not a war on Ukraine from the Russian people, but from the Russian government, the Russian government also has a long history of persecuting Ukraine. This goes back generations. Holodomor anyone? It would be nice to see a story that truly researches what has happened to the people of the Ukraine at the hands of the Russian government.
