#Russia’s theft is never limited to land or resources — it extends to identity itself. For decades, #Moscow has erased Ukrainians from history, claiming their geniuses as “Russian.”
Ihor Sikorsky is one of the clearest examples. Born in #Kyiv in 1889, he built his first aircraft here before emigrating to the U.S., where he created the world’s first practical helicopter and transformed aviation. His name stands beside the Wright brothers — yet Russia still calls him a “Russian aircraft designer”

This pattern repeats endlessly: Nobel Prize–winning biologist Illya Mechnikov, world-renowned artists, writers, and inventors—all relabeled as Russian to feed an empire’s myth. It is cultural theft as deliberate as the looting of museums in occupied Ukrainian cities.
Sikorsky was Ukrainian, and his legacy belongs to #Ukraine.The world must see this for what it is: the same imperial mindset that drives Russia’s war—an attempt to erase Ukraine’s existence and replace it with its own false story.
