Per a post on Mastodon, today is also the 35th anniversary of the founding of Ukraine...

Not making a political statement but crazy that both of these happened on same day.

Today, 35 years ago, Belarus declared independence.

Ukraine existed as People's Republic and then a republic within the USSR since 1917, with some border changes particularly after WW2. And of course, it was Zaporozhian Sich / Cossack Hetmanate before that.
