And the plans of the head of Israel revolved around a single event, and this event, unfortunately for the Maidan "elites", was not connected with the economy in any way. Rivlin arrived in Ukraine to participate in memorial events on the occasion of the 75 anniversary of one of the most terrible Nazi crimes of the Second World War - the tragedy of Babi Yar. Until now, historians cannot agree on the exact number of Jews, Gypsies, and Soviet prisoners of war killed by the Nazis in the Kiev suburb in 1941 in the year. According to the most modest estimates, Babi Yar became a huge grave for 120 thousands of people.
From the announcement of the German governor of Kiev from 29 September 1941 of the year (Russian version of the text is saved):
All Jews of the city of Kiev and its environs should appear on Monday 29 September 1941 of the year to 8 hours of the morning at the corner of Melnikova and Dokterivskaya streets (near the cemeteries).
Take documents, money and valuables with you, as well as warm clothes, underwear, etc.
Who among the Jews will not fulfill this order and will be found elsewhere will be shot.
Who among the citizens will get into the flats left by the Jews and arrogate to themselves things will be shot.
Take documents, money and valuables with you, as well as warm clothes, underwear, etc.
Who among the Jews will not fulfill this order and will be found elsewhere will be shot.
Who among the citizens will get into the flats left by the Jews and arrogate to themselves things will be shot.
When Poroshenko brought Rivlin to the Verkhovna Rada, as they say, nothing foretold. But as soon as Rivlin found himself at the oratorical platform and began his speech, the Ukrainian radicals fidgeted, feeling extremely uncomfortable, unlike the Israeli president, who was cutting the uterine truth in front of those who several weeks ago vigorously applauded the appearance of Bandera Avenue in Kiev.
About 5 with more than minutes, Rivlin told that his family, among many others, suffered at the hands of Nazi criminals during the Second World War, after which he turned to a statement of facts, from which, in present-day Ukraine, certain activists start to itch.
Reuven Rivlin during his speech in the Verkhovna Rada:
It was autumn. Yar was in green. The hand pulled the trigger over and over. More than 33 thousands of Jews were killed only in 2 of the day. They died a terrible, cruel death. Gentlemen, I am describing that terrible picture not to shock anyone. I say this because tens of thousands of people died at Babiy Yar at the hands of the Nazis: Jews, Gypsies, Ukrainians, representatives of other nations. They were killed by the Germans and their Ukrainian accomplices.
How "their Ukrainian accomplices"? - The question swept through the heads of the “winners” Maidan. What other Ukrainian accomplices of the Nazis can there be if the whole progressive world knows that the Ukrainians "fought solely for the independence of Ukraine, without swearing to anyone or anything." The official documents of the Bandera oath to Hitler - that is a vow of moskalsk propaHand ...
And Rivlin continued (translation 112 Ukraine):
About 1,5 million Jews were killed on the territory of modern Ukraine during the Second World War. Not only in Babi Yar, but also in many other places. They were shot in the woods, near the ravines and moats, pushed into mass graves. Many accomplices of crime were Ukrainians. And among them the OUN (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) fighters stood out, who mocked the Jews, killed them and in many cases betrayed them to the Germans.
The further words of the Israeli president did not perceive the radical parliamentarians as they imagined the picture of a “full-fledged Zionist conspiracy” - Poroshenko specifically led Rivlin to Rada to throw mud at the “holy image of the OUN-UPA” ...
I selected words to comment on the statement of the President of Israel, the head of the so-called Institute of National Remembrance of Ukraine, Vladimir Vyatrovich. Nothing else but accusations against Rivlin that he, he said, a victim of Soviet propaganda, could not invent:
It is a pity that the President of Israel, in his speech in the Ukrainian parliament, repeated the Soviet myth about the participation of the OUN in the Holocaust. Memories of the victims of Babi Yar would be more sincere without using myths from those who erased the memory of these victims.
Here Mr. Vyatrovsky deliberately decided to rig the facts. The fact is that war criminals of OUN and their descendants should thank Soviet historians for the fact that the “general line of the party” deliberately instructed them to bypass the far side of the topic of participation of Ukrainian radicals from the OUN in Nazi crimes. Therefore, if in the USSR even the memory of the tragedy of Babi Yar was “erased,” it was only in the sense that some people of the Ukrainian SSR who did not spare Jews, Russians, Poles, or others were directly involved in this tragedy (who swore allegiance to Nazi Germany). Ukrainians themselves.
The speech of Reuven Rivlin, who after the speech almost immediately (before the end of his visit to Kiev) departed for Israel on the occasion of the death of Shimon Peres, of course, draws attention to himself. But the reaction of the Rada attracts even more attention. This silent swallowing of what, in a different scenario (if someone from the compatriots maydanuty was on the podium), would have caused shouts, screams and a scuffle with a man-tossing person in the trash can. And here all the people's deputies resembled those anecdotal mice that injected, cried, but continued to eat the cactus. So these - experienced cognitive dissonance, sharp mental agony, quiet
In order to prove to the “electorate” that it was not all the same, they began to wave their fists after the plane of the Israeli president had broken off from the airport runway. The leader of the current OUNovtsev (the organization is banned in the Russian Federation by court decision) a person with a talking name Bogdan Chervak on Facebook broke out with a post:
What the President of the State of Israel did in the Ukrainian parliament can be interpreted unequivocally - a spit in the soul of the Ukrainians. The President of the State of Israel never saw the new Ukraine.
No, no, it was the “new” Ukraine that Rivlin saw, and with it all the “worms”. And Rivlin didn’t spit into the soul of Ukrainians, but of Banderovites, although what kind of soul? .. That soul has long been sold by them.
