Chrystia Freeland has a bachelor’s degree in Russian history, a Master’s in Slavonic studies, and is unrepentant about her Nazi collaborator grandfather. There’s no WAY she doesn’t know what it means for someone to have “fought against the Russians in WW2”.

Grandchild. I'd say she's more ideologically Banderite than Nazi if that has any meaningful difference

Fun fact about her parents though! Her mother was for some reason the one that drafted the post-soviet Ukrainian constitution

Second fun fact! Deputy Freeland, a fluent Ukranian speaker, went to Ukraine to study the Ukranian language in college. While there, she had unrestricted access to the Canadian diplomatic pouch, as well as being closely linked to the Canadian diplomatic corps there, all while being just an average student and anti-Soviet activist without governmental ties. And during the 1980s, to boot. Neat! Love to see a girlboss.
