In Nikolaev even Admiralty was in old good days. It is a city of Russian glory, the city of Russian shipbuilders.
After the Revolution and Civil War warships are not built from 1917 to 1929. But the Independence of Ukraine caused more damage, warships are not built from 1991 to 2015. 24 years Nikolaev - is not true Nikolaev it is a pathetic shadow of himself.
However, the locals (I also consider myself Nikolaev sitizen, I lived and worked there) we believe that the return to Russia will return the city past glory, descent life and the main thing - hope.
There is no more Ukraine. It was first burned on the Maidan, and then in Odessa 2nd May 2014. It burned to the ground. For millions of people Ukraine simply ceased to exist.
But why do not you think that most of the inhabitants of New Russia does not want to have anything to do with Nazi Ukraine? That we want to be reunited with our great and mighty Motherland - Russia?
Cant you talk from 1991 and 2014/2015 ?
