As a Belarusian, I wish we were anywhere near that level of based.
Donetsk and Lugansk also had a number of prominent pro-people/anti-oligarch leaders assassinated during the time the conflict there was entering the frozen status. And there’s also really a fishy story about how communist party of DPR was blocked from participating in elections to “people’s council”, and then the few members of communist party who joined the “Donetsk Republic” coalition to run for office as such got the boot for “loss of confidence” which amounted to them not always voting like the whole coalition. That’s of course is even without considering how “communist” they actually have been.
