Stalinist Russia deliberately starved and murdered the Ukrainian populace in the 1930s in an effort to end the Ukrainian culture. There is almost no dispute of the occurrence. It is really hard to blame the Ukrainian people for siding with anyone who fought against those who were trying to exterminate them.
Research the holodomor, a dark era of Soviet history... even by Soviet standards, that they can't really deny.
Gotta remember, Soviet Russia began in 1918, it was not a reaction to Nazi Germany.
Those hard feelings have carried on for decades and when Putin openly expresses that the policy of Russia is that Ukrainian identity doesn't exist he is galvanizing tens of millions who have a deep distrust of Russia.
