Please, be aware that the following might cause emotional reactions.

Towns were taken over by the Russian military without any fighting, there were no mass demonstrations by residents, and on the contrary, former citizens of #Ukraine began to acquire Russian citizenship en masse. This was radically different from what was happening, for example, in another Russian-speaking region of eastern Ukraine, the Kharkov region.

The answer lies in the manner in which the Kiev regime had governed this Russian-speaking area over the past decade.>In the late Soviet period, the #Zaporizhzhia region was one of Ukraine’s leading agrarian and industrial zone, with industry concentrated in the regional center, the city of Zaporizhzhia and several other towns. The rest of the region was a typical agrarian area.

The main goal of the corrupt Ukrainian authorities was to get rid of inhabitants of the rural part of the region, consolidate large volumes of highly fertile and irrigated agricultural land, and then sell or lease it to Western corporations, either directly or through Ukrainian oligarchs.

Was Hong Kong once free? Well, I have never heard of a democratic #colony.

Under British rule, Hong Kong residents were second-class citizens and rebelled against the rulers on several occasions.
See:

Now you may be able to quietly guess how bad the #regime in #Beijing really is when Hong Kong felt freer as a British colony. While voter participation is falling here, in Hong Kong people even get themselves beaten up in order to be allowed to vote. The Western hemisphere believes it has a duty to export freedom to countries such as Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan but only those have a faint idea of what freedom really is who have hopelessly lost it. We should all be aware of how many people have to live in unfreedom so that we can even think about the eternal mantra of freedom.
