Ukraine has had a long and involved history, the important bits of which, for the purposes of this comic, are the incorporation of the territory into the USSR in 1922 under the rule of Stalin, and the subsequent purges in the 1930s in which around a million Soviet citizens died at Stalin's orders. Many of those who suffered this fate were Ukrainians.
Stalin pretty much did purge the entire country.
It is my general philosophy that humour can help ease despair and loss. That's why I can make jokes based on some of the most terrible events in human history. I've done it before, and I'll do it again. But never feel that I am insensitive to the real world suffering and loss experienced during these dreadful episodes.
