1 | Ukraine: “Stalin” Tea Sparks Controversy | Okraina: Miteraka resabe ny dite “Stalin” |
2 | According to a recent poll [uk], up to 46 percent of Ukrainians feel nostalgic for the USSR, most of them being pensioners, as well as residents of Eastern and Southern regions of the country. | Araka ny fanadihadiana [uk] iray vao haingana, mihoatra ny 46 isan-jaton'ny Okrainiana no manembonembona ny URSS fahiny, be amin'izy ireny no ireo efa misotro ronono, na ny monina any amin'ny faritra Atsinanana izany na ny any Atsimon'ny firenena. |
3 | At the same time, only 18% of Western Ukrainians and 19 percent of young people share this sentiment. | Mandritra izany fotana izany ihany, 18% amin'ireo Okrainiana Tandrefana aryt 19 isan-jato amin'ireo tanora no manana toy izany fahatsapana izany koa. |
4 | Such blurred attitudes toward the recent communist past are being eagerly exploited by manufacturers, who have been using Soviet symbols to market their goods for years. | Fihetseham-po misavoritaka toy izany izay mitodika amin'ny rafitra kaominista fahiny no tsy ananan'ireo mpamokatra ny fitrandrahana azy, dia ireo izay nampiasa nandritra ny taona maro ny marika famantarana ny Sovieta mba handafosana ny entany. |
5 | Nevertheless, the recent promotion of a domestically-produced tea named after the notorious Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin has sparked a heated discussion among Ukrainian netizens, many of whom felt that this time marketers have overstepped the line. | Niteraka adihevitra mivaivay teo amin'ireo Okrainiana mpiondana aterineto ny dokambarotra tsy ela akory izay natao tamin'ny vokatra iray avy eo an-toerana nomena ny anaran'ilay Sovietika mpitondra jadona fanta-poko fanta-pirenena Joseph Stalin, maro tamin'izy ireny no nahatsapa fa nihoatra ny fefy ireo mpanao dokambarotra. |

37 | Although in 2007 the former Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko issued a decree banning all symbols and monuments to those responsible for the Holodomor (which would include Soviet leaders), it has hardly been carried through. | Na dia namoaka didy aza ny filoha Okrainiana teo aloha Victor Yushchenko tamin'ny 2007 nandràra ny marika rehetra sy sary mampahatsiahy ireo tompon'andraikitra tamin'ny Holodomor (tokony ho tafiditra anatin'izany ireo mpitondra Sovietika), tsy dia voahaja loatra izany. |
38 | The attitudes of the current authorities are made obvious by the fact that youth activists held guilty for destroying a monument to Stalin in Zaporizhzhya in 2010 have been prosecuted on charges of terrorism. | Mivandravandra izao ny fomba fihevitr'ireo mpitondra ankehitriny tamin'ny nanamelohana ilay tanora mafàna fo namotika sarivongana iray mampahatsiahy an'i Stalin tao Zaporizhzhya tamin'i 2010 ho nanao asa fampihorohoroana. |
