This is literally just mixed race children getting confused when people try to teach them to be racist. If they were being taught to have a national identity rather than an ethnic one, then they wouldn't have any problems.

It's worth noting that World War II in real life ironically helped the cause of Ukrainian nationalism by demographically devastating the most nationalist parts of Ukraine the least of all:
Off-topic, but I wonder if Crimea would have still been given from Russia to Ukraine had Stalin lived for at least an extra year. The decision to transfer Crimea was done in the Khrushchev era in real life, after all.
Physically, he doesn't look half bad for his age. Such a tragedy when the body outlasts the mind like that.

No, it's not at all clear to me. It's an expensive and risky investment, but a long-term one. After a failed 20C, Russia is seizing it's last good chance to become a fully sovereign, self-contained modern technological civilization, i.e. not an appendage of an appendage (the EU).
lol at Anatoly Karlin for thinking that a 5-10% population difference makes all of the difference in the world in regards to this. Even in the very best case scenario, Russia's Ukraine invasion won't boost its population by more than 10% since Ukrainians now hate Russia's guts and thus most of them would very likely move to either what remains of Free Ukraine or to the West rather than to live under Russian rule. Russia would get 15 million Ukrainians at the very most (excluding the Donbass, which Russia could have annexed without war), and possibly even considerably less than that. 15 million Ukrainians is 10% of Russia's total population.
With or without a depopulated Ukraine, Russia simply doesn't have the demographic base necessary to be a peer competitor to either the EU, the Anglosphere, or China. So, it's either Russia becoming a European/Western appendage or Russia becoming a Chinese appendage. Choose one.
And being a self-sustained technological civilization is overrated anyway when you don't produce very much elite science. Germany, Italy, and Japan all previously tried to become self-sustained technological civilizations, or at least their unique own civilizational spaces, in World War II and failed, and yet they are all relatively happy right now. Both Italy and Japan have even managed to remain pretty Based, and Germany, Italy, and Japan all each produce much more elite science than Russia does in spite of each of them having less (sometimes much less) people than Russia has.
And Russia's miserable 20th century was in part self-inflicted since no one forced Russia to fight for Serbia back in 1914.
That was with Tito at the helm. If someone like say, Peko Dapcevic or Aleksandar Rankovic was in power, they'd be extremely brutal as their Soviet counterparts. Rankovic though, would have simply continued to expel the Albanians from Kosovo and had opposed giving autonomy to Kosovo and probably Vojvodina.
Wouldn't there also be some form of self-loathing on the part of the mixed race children as well? One of the infamous incel shooters who went on a rampage was mixed though.

Only if induced by a culture that puts value on race. Children don't understand race until it is taught to them, before that someone's skin being a different color is just a curiosity. The idea of race supplanted a much more narrow ethnic identity only 3-400 years ago, and before those ethnic identities developed it was a matter of "everyone not from my village" sort of thing- literal tribalism. Nationalism was on its way to supplanting race as a more inclusive identity, which was also more utilitarian because people can change national identity, but this got reversed during the last few decades.
