Is that an anti-Ukrainian propaganda piece in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

The original text of this piece has been removed. I am not usually in the habit of sweeping my screw-ups under the carpet, but I didn’t want it to generate Google hits that would, once again, paint Ukraine as a country of evil barbarians.
