The battle took place in Nikolajewka, a village which is now in Ukraine. This decision is confusing for a couple of reasons, and yet there has not been much of a public debate or opposition. A possible explanation is that this statute is part of the process of building up a ‘shared memory’ among political parties to legitimize the current political system.
