Only on Lenin's insistence, Stalin would have collectivized those """countries""" kulak-style.

So does this election actually mean anything? I read a few articles and it was a bunch of Ukranian Nationalists bitching about Putin and Zelenskiy not being authentically Ukranian enough.

Stalin was People's Commissar for Nationalities, he was the one who said Ukranians were a nation.

It definitely means a few things. Zelensky might be a bit of a walking meme (for those that don't know, he isn;t just a comedian but a political satirist who plays a teacher that gets elected president and basically tries to go around purging corruption but is an idiot and can't do intrigue at-all., and it goes batshit like Ukraine balkanises into like 13 states in series 3) but he is unique in a few ways. First he is a Russkije (which isn't a great term, but eh) or a Russo-Ukrainian, so he identifies nationally as a Ukrainian but speaks Russian as his first language (going as far to say that when he speaks Ukrainian he is translating in his head). So yeah for the fascists he is a russophile traitor. He's also a realist over Donbass & Crimea, he knows he can get Donbass back but that Crimea is a lost cause. While he certainly isn't pro-Putin, his origins from the Russkije community put him as a unique mover that could help forge a New Ukrainian national identity that doesn't go around praising fucking fascists (also Zelensky is of jewish heritage, which further pisses off Ukraine's fascists).
So what's in-store for Ukraine? Well a negotiated settlement in Donbass is likely, especially as Russia tires of having to basically pay for everyone's gibs there. Internally it's a different story. Atm Zelensky is backed by an oligarch (who is a jewish guy that funded the Azov Battalion, yeah…), but also Zelensky appears to have outgrown his puppeteer by a large margin purely out of public support. There is an interesting analysis piece I saw that says Zelensky will be a shit president, but because he will be a shit president that Ukraine will become a de facto Parliamentary Republic and that's a good thing. We will see, but Zelensky is better than anything else tbh: he has promised that Ukraine will not join NATO or the EU without referenda so that's nice.
