In the western regions of Ukraine 9 May declared a day of mourning

380


Western regions of Ukraine seriously intend to declare the day of 9 in May as a day of mourning. Moreover, the relevant bills have already been adopted by Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk city councils. According to these documents, on Victory Day festive processions are prohibited, as well as the use of symbols of Soviet times, including the red flag and veterans' military orders. Such a decision of local authorities (which, by the way, are mostly represented by “Svoboda”), causes confusion and bewilderment, because, according to Ukrainian legislation, the holiday 9 is recognized as an official public holiday in May. Obviously, Ukrainian laws mean nothing to neo-fascists.

In accordance with the words of one of the initiators of the decision, the city council deputy from the Freedom party, Lyubomir Melnychuk, all the statements of the Ukrainian government about the celebration of 9 on May and the use of one of the main symbols of communist terror - the red flag - is another provocation, which In some cases, it should not be allowed in Lviv. Also, the same deputy called on Ukrainians to spend the day in prayer for those who died in the war.

At the same time, the logic of decisions made by regional authorities is rather difficult to understand. Indeed, according to the same Melnichuk, Lviv, as a European city, must adhere to the European practice of honoring those who died in World War II. But at the same time, it is he who proposes to declare not only 9, but also 8 on May, that is, the day when all of Europe celebrates victory over Nazi Germany ...

In fact, to understand the true reason for the decisions made is very simple: Ukrainian neo-fascists by any means necessary to replace the bright holiday of Victory with its full opposite - the day of sorrow. Thus, according to the "independent", they will be able to erase from the memory of the people historical the truth, which was common to Ukraine and Russia, replacing it with its version. At the same time, the main blow is aimed not only at the common Soviet past, but also at its carriers - veterans who still remained in the western regions. It turns out that all the most valuable and important that has been preserved since Soviet times, with the abolition of Victory Day, is subject to destruction and eradication. And the veterans, thanks to whom this victory was won, and which are becoming less and less every year, no longer have the right to come together to remember past times and celebrate a bright holiday ...

But that's not all. The decision to eradicate the Soviet legacy of "Svobodovtsy" not limited. In addition to the decision to recognize 8-9 in May as days of mourning, the bill of the Lviv City Council also says that these days are recognized as days of grief for the victims of all totalitarian regimes, including Hitler’s. It turns out that the representatives of the Svoboda party, who currently occupy leadership positions, are inherently anti-fascists, and Shukhevych together with Bandera are not really Hitler's henchmen, but the real heroes of Ukraine. So it turns out that the decision taken by the Lvov and Ivano-Frankivsk authorities is not only to erase the entire Soviet legacy from people's memory, but also to cleanse their heroes from the Nazi mud.

It is clear that such illegal decisions could not go unnoticed by the government. So, in particular, Prime Minister N. Azarov during a briefing held on April 30, stated that the decision taken in the western regions is illegal, because it contradicts the Basic Law of the country. The Prime Minister stated that the decision was beyond the competence of local authorities, and there was no point in talking about any European integration, since the local authorities themselves violated the Constitution. According to Azarov, the recognition of the 9 of May as a day of mourning is immoral, but for sorrow there is another day - this is the 22 of June, the day the war started. At the end of his speech, the Prime Minister said that everyone who is trying to change history should remember what happened in this case (referring to Nazism), and also assured that the government will do everything possible so that neo-Nazism in Ukraine has no chance to development.

Representatives of the Party of Regions and the Communist Party did not stand aside either. Regionals are confident that the decision taken in Galicia is primarily a betrayal of their own people, because 9 of May was always considered a Victory Day and to prohibit it is to betray the memory of their ancestors, who at the cost of their own lives defended the future generations . At the same time, the regionals are confident that the scandalous solution is a rough provocation, which aims at destabilizing the situation in society and provoking the popular opposition. A vivid proof of this is the statement of the Lviv communists about their intention to celebrate the Victory Day with flags and processions. Thus, it is quite possible that the history of a year ago can be repeated, when in Lviv the neo-fascists actually persecuted the veterans ...

According to representatives of the ruling party, all attempts by neo-Nazis to defile the memory of the people's feat or the Victory symbols will be harshly suppressed and suppressed. But if you think well, behind these words is not quite what I would like. So, Lviv police received an order to protect military monuments in the region from vandals from 7 on May, but at the same time there is no mention of the need to ensure protection to veterans during demonstrations. Moreover, around 150 law enforcement officers are allocated to everything, and this is to the thousands of neo-Nazis who live and are active in Lviv ...

If you go a little further, it becomes quite obvious that such a decisive “anti-Freedom” position of the regionals is not really so anti-fascist. More recently, one event occurred which is proof of this: the Poles accused the Ukrainian Freedom Party of neo-Nazism, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is under the control of the government and, accordingly, of the Party of Regions, came to their defense. Recall that in early April, the Polish government adopted a resolution recognizing the OUN-UPA, SS “Galichina”, as well as the Ukrainian police, which served the fascists as criminal organizations that committed genocide against the Poles in 1939-1947. In response, the Ukrainian government perceived such a decision as an unfriendly gesture towards Ukraine, as interference in its internal affairs, and moreover, it perceived this project as an attempt to complicity with Russia ...

In addition to the authorities, some political scientists also expressed their attitude to the decision taken in the West of Ukraine. Thus, according to G. Trofimchuk, the first vice-president of the Center for Modeling Strategic Development, such a decision is quite normal and natural, because it happened to almost everyone who had escaped from the so-called Soviet occupation zone. In the end, all this euphoria faded away, because there is no way to go back to the past. Therefore, do not interfere with Lviv "enthusiasts": if they are sure that the holidays need to be renamed or even establish a new holiday - let them do, it will be more interesting to watch them from the side.

Political analyst D.Orlov, who is the general director of the analytical center “Strategy East-West”, says that in the light of the current situation, the Ukrainian head of state is quite unfairly called a dictator. After all, dictators in the event of even the slightest focus of separatism and disobedience immediately surround him and pacify him with weapons. And Yanukovych is still a Democrat, what kind of search is necessary. According to Orlov, Victory Day is a holiday fixed at the state level, and if the head of state ordered to celebrate it, then the task of the local authorities is to execute this order in full, and not make any incomprehensible decisions.

Political analyst L.Savin, the editor-in-chief of Geopolitics, is convinced that the decision of the Lviv authorities is a consequence of the coming to power of ultra-right neo-Nazis, who were supported by the finances of the same Yanukovych. Therefore, such decisions may appear in other areas of the western region, especially in those of them where there is a fairly large percentage of active Bandera nationalists. As a result, a further split of Ukrainian society and new conflicts may occur. Therefore, all free thinking of local authorities must be stopped.

Anyway, the decision has already been made, and one can only hope for the sanity of the government, which will take more stringent measures against the regional authorities. However, there is still a small chance that the Ukrainian neo-Nazis still have at least a little philanthropy and respect for their ancestors, and the decision will not have any serious consequences, although it is unlikely ...

    Personally, I believe that if there were no lands included in Ukraine under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Treaty, there would be no talk of any secession from the USSR (1991).

    Why? Ukraine laid claim to Western Ukraine, Siverschyna, and the small territory of Levobirezhia, where the Sich once was. Because these are the historical lands of Ukraine. And Russia gave us the rest as a dowry, although in my opinion it’s somehow not to its taste those times.

      Do you find it difficult to express your “brilliant” thoughts coherently?
      Would you be so kind as to answer a number of questions:
      1) When was the term “Ukraine” first mentioned and by whom? In what contest was this used?
      2) Please be more detailed about the “historical lands”, I’m very interested in historical anecdotes.
      3)"...Russia didn't give it as a dowry..." US??? For whom is this?!!!! Considering that the nationality “Ukrainian” itself was actually implemented during the 1926 census, until now no one had ever heard of such a people.

      A big gift, that’s the point, Ukrainians as a nation were formed recently, and have always considered you one of their own. Are you talking about dowry? Where's the groom? Half of the territories of Ukraine are originally Russian territories, and they were given not as a dowry, but as their own. And you are still looking for a catch.

    I read all the nonsense that representatives of the Russian Federation write.
    I was simply blown away by their arguments about the division of Ukraine.
    I would like to remind YOU that since 91 there has not been a single military conflict in Ukraine (unlike your country), well, if you don’t defend conflicts in the Rada.
    Your federation will fall apart faster, although even now you have regions in which there is openly a separatist government that does not care about anything and everything.
    And in Moscow, districts will be created from the nationalities of the Caucasus, something like what is shown in the film "District 13"
    How Ukraine will fall apart.
    Everything that is shown on TV and written on the Internet is not true. And all this fuss was created for the sole purpose of snatching something somewhere, redistributing it, sleeping....it.

            Starting a conversation about the Russian (Russian) language, it should first be remembered that Russia is a non-Slavic country. Only Smolensk, Kursk, Bryansk - the territories of the ancient Krivichy (the Slavs of the Baltic Slavs westernized) can be attributed to the territories inhabited by ancient near-Slavic peoples. The rest of the land is Finnish, where no Slavs have ever lived: Chud, Murom, Mordvinians, Perm, Vyatichi and others. The main toponyms of historical Muscovy are all Finnish: Moscow, Murom, Ryazan (Erzya), Vologda, Kostroma, Suzdal, Tula, etc. Over the centuries, these territories have been conquered by the Rurik colonists encouraged by sailing from Laba (Elba), however, the number of colonists (who built Novgorod near Ladoga - as a continuation of the then Polaba Old Town - now Oldenburg) was extremely small in these parts. In the rare fortified towns founded by the Rusyns and Normans encouraged (Danes and Swedes), there lived a handful of colonial rulers with a squad - the network of these fortified colonies was called Rus. And 90-95% of the population of the region were non-Slavic natives, subordinate to these more civilized invaders.

              Dear RU_PATRIOT, are you suggesting that we study our own history using State Department propaganda? Everything you wrote is complete crap! There are no traces of all these non-Slavic peoples in the ancient sites, only Slavs - Indo-Europeans. Moreover, in those days when Neanderthals still lived in Europe.
              I wrote to you about Perm above, I will say this, the “non-Slavic” peoples you mentioned received (for the most part) their names under the Romanovs, when they rewrote history.

    By order of the Tsar, the descendants of the “Moksels” who became Slavs have been bearing the name that unites them all for three centuries. Not a noun (who?), but an adjective. Whose are you? – Russians. What are you like? – Russians. Because for three centuries they belonged to Kievan Rus.

    No offense will be said, why then are you, Galicians, not called Rus, since you are from Kievan Rus? And why did you sell our Orthodox faith, into which your and our prince Vladimir baptized your ancestors? Yes, we are Russians! We are different, and Vyatichi and Krivichi, and Merya, and white-eyed Chud - we are all Russian! But unlike them, you didn’t go to your beloved Catholic-Protestant West with a war every hundred years, but only when you, the adversaries, had to be escorted back with a special escort.

      In Muscovy itself, the terms “Russia” and “Russia” began to be used to designate the country for the first time and in a very limited way only in the XNUMXth century, since the idea of ​​the “Third Rome” appeared in Moscow, and the Muscovite kings began to lay claim to the lands of Ukraine.
      Muscovy was renamed according to the royal command of 1713 and 1721. The ethnonym “Russian” was fixed even later - only at the end of the XNUMXth century, when Tsarina Catherine II, by “highest command,” finally ordered the Moscow people to be called “Russians” and forbade them to use the name “Muscovites.”
      It is interesting that the Muscovite region took the Greek transcription of the word “Rus” for its new name, although there are hardly any other people who would take the name of their country from a foreign language.
      By the way, Ukraine, like Muscovy, also changed its name, but only once, and took this name from its own language.

      Ukrainians have never acknowledged the theft of the name "Rus". Already in the middle of the 18th century, the “History of the Rus” appeared in Ukraine, which affirmed the unambiguously Ukrainian character of Rus'.
      Taras Shevchenko never uses the word “Rus” or even “Russia” in his works and always writes about “Moscow region”.
      In the modern Ukrainian literary language, the ethnonym “Russians” has been established, while the adjective “Russian” is reserved for everything ancient Ukrainian.
      Finally, it should be said that in Rus' the name of the people was the ethnonyms “Rusin” (in the famous “Russian Truth”, princely charters, chronicles) and, occasionally, “Rus”. In the chronicles, a Rus or Rusin is always a resident of the Kiev region.
      The ethnonym "Rusichi" is found only in "The Tale of Igor's Campaign", and, according to modern historians, it was not used in everyday life, but was a sign of a high linguistic style.
      It was this ethnonym “Rusyn” that was preserved in large numbers in Western Ukraine until the twentieth century, and in some places in Transcarpathia - even to this day.
      Based on all of the above, the history of Russia has the same relation to the history of Rus' as, for example, the history of Angola and Mozambique to the history of Portugal.
      Or the history of India - to the history of Great Britain. If, for example, today Russia wanted to rename itself to China, this would not at all mean that, together with such simple manipulation, it would inherit several thousand years of Chinese history and culture.
      Today there is reason to expect that soon, if Ukraine is successful, the ideological dispute over the historical legacy of Kievan Rus, which was waged by Kyiv and Moscow over the last half of the millennium, will end with the victory of Ukraine.
      The reason for this is the obviousness of the arguments about Ukraine's inheritance from Rus'. These arguments in our information age can neither be destroyed nor hidden.

          We don't need your capital, live on your own, and let us live on our own. And there is no need for all sorts of fairy tales about brotherhood, etc. because this has never happened. I wish the Russians to build their own national state where the Russians will feel good and comfortable and there has never been a trace of such facts that are happening in Moscow with the Caucasian lawlessness, the slaughter of sheep and thousands of Muslim prayers. But without Ukraine, Ukrainians are not Russians who suddenly decided to be called differently, they are another people who have their own state and are building it. I wish Russians to have their own national state and respect their neighbors, in return they will receive the same respect.

      In medieval documents of Kievan Rus, the ethnonym “Rus” was used as an ethnonym for the Eastern Slavs - the ancestors of Ukrainians and Belarusians, which, in turn, has, according to one hypothesis, Varangian origin; for a single representative of an ethnic group - “Rusyn”.
      The ethnonym "Rusyns" is found later, in the XIII — XVIII centuries. [51] in Lithuanian and Polish documents naming residents of Old Russian principalities. Also, the ethnonym Rusyns was present in ancient Russian documents. The earliest example of the use of the ethnonym in the plural was noted in 1501 in the charter of the Belz Voivodeship (Volyn) [52]. The frequently encountered name of the inhabitants of Russia, which had signs of an ethnonym, in its medieval sources is “Russian people”, “Russian people”. In the Middle Ages, especially actively in the XNUMXth – XNUMXth centuries, on the territory of the Zaporizhzhya Sich and the Zaporizhzhya Army, the ethnonym “Ruski” was applied to the language, religion, and nationality of people living in these territories.
      The most recent use of the ethnonym “Rusyns” in the sources of the Hetmanate is found in 1728 in the drama “Grace of God”, staged in Kiev on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Khmelnytsky region and in honor of Danil the Apostle's assumption of hetman. Back in the 50s of the XIX century, the ethnonym "Rusyns" was used here by the Kobzars. The thought written down from the kobzar Andrei Shut from the Chernihiv region says: “Well then, there’s a hetman Khmelnitsky, a Rusyn in us.” Thus, the ethnonym "Rusyns" was used in eastern Ukraine among commoners, where book and official innovations were not immediately accepted, much longer than mentioned (1728).
      On the lands of Right Bank Ukraine annexed to the Russian Empire, the ethnonym “Rusyns” gradually disappeared. Thus, back in the 60s of the 1897th century, it was widely used in Podolia, annexed to Russia at the end of the XNUMXth century. In particular, in Vinnytsia, it is recorded in the collection of proverbs by Matvey Nomis and in folk tales collected there. Podolian Stepan Rudansky also uses it. Recorded in the Little Russian provinces and the Kingdom of Poland of the Russian Empire during the first All-Russian census in XNUMX.


      Contemporaries clearly distinguished between Muscovites and Rusyns. For example, after the battle of Orsha on September 8, 1514, in which Prince Konstantin Ostrozhsky, who commanded the troops of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, completely defeated Moscow army, received the nickname "Russian Scipio"

    Svidomo and Banderovtsev should certainly be given into anal slavery to the Poles. Ukrainian Natsiks use group pounding in the ass to raise the “fighting” spirit and unite the Svidomo-Bandera brotherhood. And how, after “raising” the darling, they move away a little, go to bully and do dirty tricks on Soviet veterans who are already 85-90 years old, since Svidomo-Bandera’s anal unity is not enough for anything else.

      The myth about the agricultural regions of Ukraine “eating up” the money earned in the industrial east has been debunked: more than 50% of government subsidies in 2011 went to the Donetsk and Lugansk regions, as well as the capital, Kyiv.

      http://www.domik.net/novosti/naibolee-dotacionnymi-regionami-ukrainy-priznany-ki
      ev-i-donbass-n161189.html


      As Korrespondent.biz emphasized in the organization, the share of the Donetsk region in Ukraine’s GDP in 2010 was 12%, and the total amount of subsidies, current and capital transfers received by this region was 2010% in 21, and 2011% of the national total in 27 amounts.

      The situation is similar in the Lugansk region - with a share of Ukraine’s GDP of 4%, expenditures in the region amounted to 8% (2010) and 11% (2011).

    It’s easy to distinguish, a normal, adequate resident of Ukraine, no matter what region or city, Kyiv, Chernigov, Donetsk, or even any western region, will neither say nor even think bad about his neighbor with whom there is a centuries-old history. A Banderaite, he will pour buckets of slop in your direction with or without, by the word “Banderaite” I don’t mean only residents of the western regions, I mean a person who fiercely hates Russia, and very often doesn’t even know why, and IT DOESN’T MATTER Where does he live.

    And regarding the residents of the western regions, I’ll tell you one very interesting fact, Yuri Shevchuk, whom I think everyone knows well, on his tour he once traveled all over Ukraine and visited all regions, including the West, at all his concerts slogans were never heard that something like “get Mos.al home” or something like that, all the concerts, all the songs went off with a bang, the same residents of the hated west of Ukraine sang RUSSIAN songs, and no one said anything bad towards Shevchuk.

      The Russian people do not wish harm to the brotherly people of Ukraine. Russians and Ukrainians, Tatars and Belarusians, Kazakhs and Jews and many other peoples of the Soviet Union gave 27 million lives in the Great Patriotic War. In a resolution dated November 22, 2004, the UN General Assembly proclaimed Days of Remembrance and Reconciliation (8-9 May), which are dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Second World War. If in the western regions of Ukraine May 9 is declared a day of mourning, but the victory is not celebrated, so much the worse for them, as they say, live like a freak. But you should not prohibit others from laying wreaths and other events, you do not have the right.

      the same residents of the hated west of Ukraine sang RUSSIAN songs, and no one said anything bad towards Shevchuk.
      There are other examples:
      “The famous performers Potap and Nastya Kamensky were pelted with eggs at a concert in Ternopil for performing songs in Russian. In this way, members of the regional organization VO “Trizub” expressed their protest against the “vulgar and anti-cultural songs” of these performers, said its chairman Vasily Labaichuk. According to him According to data, about 20 activists took part in the action.
      “We, Ukrainians, consider language to be a mechanism for transmitting national identity from generation to generation. We have never objected to the existence of Russian and other languages. That is why we do not oppose Russian performers who sing in their native language. However, we will always confront those who have forgotten whose parents they are children of, and because of their weakness, promote other people's values, belittling their own. In Ternopil, the rule still applies: “On the Ukrainian stage, Ukrainian artists sing in Ukrainian or don’t sing at all!” - no one has canceled it here,” Labaichuk said.
      And this, again, is not a denunciation of the country and the people, but an attempt to draw attention to these, as you say, “several hundred”, which have already grown to thousands, and if they are not stopped they will continue to spread. Does Ukraine need it?

    When starting a conversation about the Russian (Russian) language, we should first of all remember that Russia is a non-Slavic country. The territories inhabited by ancient near-Slavic peoples include only Smolensk,

    One might think, what a pure and immaculate nation these Ukrainians are! If you like to flaunt history so much, it wouldn’t be a sin to remember how many times through the territory of Ukraine, inhabited in your opinion only by your ancestors, various hordes rolled through at different times: Huns, Pechenegs, Polovtsians, Khazars, Hungarians, Mongols, Turks, Germans twice... Don’t you think that they visited you, and we too, as part of tourist groups? A natural demographic trace is inevitably present in such cases. And classifying Ukrainians as Slavs, and Russians as Finns, or someone else, is a figment of a sick imagination.
    Read L.N. Gumilev’s “Ancient Rus' and the Great Steppe”, and you will find out that the Danube Bulgarians, whom we without any doubt attribute to the Slavs, actually became such when they moved there in the XNUMXth century, and before that they lived in the territory of the present Kabardino-Balkaria, and the Balkars are their direct descendants, as well as the Volga Bulgars, whom we now call Tatars.

      Don’t invent something that doesn’t exist, this is the position of Ukrainian nationalists.

      "...I mean, there's no phobia?

      No phobia. We just want us, Ukrainians, to be respected. By the way, Stepan Bandera said a very important thing in a timely manner: “We are friendly to those peoples who are friendly to us. We are neutral towards those peoples who are neutral towards us. But we will fight against those who fight and destroy our people.”

      But this is not nationalism, but the most common position.

      Do you think that nationalism is when someone says that we are the best?! This is not nationalism. This is racism. Why should I think that I am better than everyone just because I am Ukrainian? That's bullshit. I love Ukraine not because it is the best, but because it is mine. Ask any person. He loves his mom. But not because she is objectively the best, the most beautiful, she is perfection itself. Any person, if he is normal, loves his mother.

      Well, for every person, as a rule, his mother is the best.

      Yes. And for me, Ukrainians are the best. But not because Ukrainians are objectively better than others, but because they are our own. Obviously, the Germans are better at assembling cars. Obviously, the Japanese are better in some ways. But we, Ukrainians, must develop our nation, our culture, develop our differences from the rest, what gives us an advantage..."

    I ask you to forgive me if I wrote something offensive to one of the Russians, I don’t think that in your country they think so badly about Ukraine, I’m just saying that TV propaganda puts a lot of pressure on the consciousness of Russians and their perception of Ukraine. For example, even on Channel 5, there is no such real negativity towards Russia (Channel 5 is something like a free, independent channel, which it is clear that it is not), well, that’s not the point, the point is that, unfortunately, the new young generation of Russians perceive us as fascists, one and all, this is what I want to convey to you.

    And as for Nastya Kamenskikh and Potap, believe me, they were popular with us for about a year and now they are perceived as clowns (although Kamenskikh as a singer is nothing like that wassat ), they did not deserve such respect as performers, such as the same Shevchuk. And here it doesn’t matter whether they sing in Russian or not, but after listening to their songs you really see what the younger generation has come to, what they sing, what they like. I don’t know if those Tridents are right or not, but they are right about one thing for sure, and that is that we don’t need such a culture.

    And the tomatoes rummaged around in the bank.
    And in the dance, it’s as quiet as dew,
    The homemade peas have finished their meal.
    I call lower fat fat,
    I taught the bread to tan my back...

    Great!!! They are already dividing Ukraine. I read the comments and am surprised, it seems like they say brotherly people, a common history, a lot of relatives, but such an attitude. The story was woven into who, how and what piece was taken, who was to blame, etc. Nationalism is very pronounced among your older brothers. In Ukraine they did not kill people based on belonging to other nationalities and did not wage wars; we do not have skinheads and there will not be any. And these Svoboda members, Unaunso and the rest are fed from the authorities and the West, and are putting on a show in front of us (promoting publicity) before the next elections, flirting with the electorate. Here we remember the ancient Roman principle - divide and conquer. It is very actively used by our and your leadership. Using Ukraine as an example, these are east and west, Russia - the Caucasus, etc. Regionals benefit greatly from such quirks described in this article, the east immediately reacts sharply negatively and the ruling party further robs its own people (not the nation, but everyone together (Russians in Ukraine, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Tatars and many others)). And these idiots don’t even measure up to the fascists; even though they raised the German economy, if they come to power they will immediately screw themselves, because other than blowing up monuments and veterans, they don’t know how to offend anything else, except to sell themselves at a higher price. I have many acquaintances both in Western and Eastern Ukraine, and all of them are quite adequate people without all these nationalist excesses, and in Ukraine they are the majority. Less need to be spent on propaganda for the children of Goebbels (of which there are plenty in our efforts).

      In general, as B. Shubin correctly noted, since in Galicia they do not want to celebrate national holidays (May 1, May 9), then why shouldn’t the president make them working days at this time? How about walking around during the week - so they are right there (they do transfers with us, the weekend this time along with Orthodox Easter is already 10 days)? Let them work hard and mourn... in the gardens. And then the cries about Victory Day are “society’s opinion,” but “society” doesn’t mind about the weekend. Although barbecues and celebrations on the “day of sorrow” are somehow not camilleaux!

      Of course not. In Lvov there was a parade and a demonstration, and people really had fun. Although a certain part of Lviv residents had a negative attitude towards Russian speakers. On the other hand, you need to remember that some people there are also intimidated by all these torchlight processions in honor of Bandera and other things. The memory of what they did is still fresh. Moreover, now “party affiliation” is also being clarified. Example: Last year, when there was severe flooding, I sat down in ZU, but our own villagers, Ukrainians, were sitting on the roofs with their children, and the “rescue teams” sent from Lvov sailed past in boats and declared: “You voted for the commies here.” “Wait for them to send you help.” It is also true that they can come at night and “explain” how to vote. That’s why they “choose” this way.

    The Third Reich created concentration camps in which people could get housing and jobs. The Nazis taught children to work, and the best workers went to Germany, gaining valuable experience there. By “slightly” complicating labor conditions, the Nazis created a “competitive environment.” I am generally silent about cultural and educational activities. And everything would have been fine, but the Red Savages interfered with the bright plans of the fascists.

And regarding the residents of the western regions, I’ll tell you one very interesting fact, Yuri Shevchuk, whom I think everyone knows well, on his tour he once traveled all over Ukraine and visited all regions, including the West, at all his concerts slogans were never heard that something like “get Mos.al home” or something like that, all the concerts, all the songs went off with a bang, the same residents of the hated west of Ukraine sang RUSSIAN songs, and no one said anything bad towards Shevchuk. Now think about it Do we have fascists and neo-Nazis, or are there still several hundred of them throughout Ukraine?

      “When it comes to the ideology of Pan-Slavism, so popular in the XNUMXth century, Western agitprop immediately includes the familiar message that this is all a product of Moscow propaganda, hiding far-reaching goals. Of course, by the enslavement of free Europe, which has been striving from time immemorial for democratic values. In fact, the forerunner of Pan-Slavism should be considered the Croatian philosopher and encyclopedist Yuri Krizanich, who back in the XNUMXth century. actively advocated the unity of the Slavic peoples under the scepter of the Russian kingdom and openly wrote about this in his numerous works. The very term “Pan-Slavism” was born in 1826. obliged to the Czech Jan Herkel. In Central Europe in those years, Pan-Slavic ideas were extremely popular and among the first Pan-Slavists we meet many Slovak and Czech outstanding names - Ljudevit Stur, Pavel Safarik, Josef Dobrovsky. Even the author of the anthem of the pan-Slavist movement “Gay, Slavs!” there was a Slovak - Samuel Tomasik. The founder of the Pan-Slavic movement in Slovak poetry, Jan Kollar, wrote: “Head - Russia is majestic. Poland - Stan. Behind them, in turn, the Czechs - arms and, in a double column, the Serbs - legs. This is how Glory would stand... and would rise up to the clouds, and Europe would fall to its knees, listening to the worldwide thunder of its steps!” The Pan-Slavist message issued by the Czech-Slovak intelligentsia was enthusiastically taken up in Russia. The Slovak Ljudevit Stuhr bitterly described the inability of the Slavs to come to an agreement with each other, and this is precisely what explained the weakness of the Slavic states of Europe, which fell one after another under the onslaught of the more organized Germans. From the mosaic of Slavic peoples, he especially singled out the Russians, who managed to create the largest Slavic state in the world: “The Russians are a complete exception, and at the same time, it is extremely remarkable that it is not the Slavs themselves who founded the Russian state, and from its very beginning they develop an all-subordinating force, uniting disparate parts into one great whole. This strength, instilled in Rus' from a stranger, was adopted by the capable Russian people and passed on as an inheritance to the bearers of the highest power in them. It significantly contributed to the fact that the Russian state not only outlived all other Slavic states, but also developed in such a way that with its majestic bulk it represented the only and powerful bulwark against the further pressure of foreign elements in our world and reflected this pressure at all points.” But the words of Lyudevit Not everyone welcomed Stuhr. Even then, there was a split in the Pan-Slav movement: some of the Czech-Slovak figures hoped to unite the Slavs based on the Austrian monarchy (Austroslavism of Frantisek Palacki) and were opponents of the orientation towards Russia. Austroslavism turned into an alternative ideology of the Western and Central European Slavs, opposing Russophile tendencies. Thus, from the very beginning, Pan-Slavism featured two completely different poles of attraction from a civilizational point of view - Austria and Russia. Representatives of Polish pan-Slavism were drawn to the Austrians, ruling out any possibility of friendship with the Russians. They believed that Poland should serve as the center of unity of all Slavs, and the key to the success of such plans was the restoration of great Poland within the former borders of 1772. But this was the maximum task. The minimum task for Polish pan-Slavists was to find support in Vienna for confrontation with Moscow.

        “The Slavs stubbornly refused to turn into an independent geopolitical category, torn by internal contradictions. It is still in this state. Only instead of Vienna, the overwhelming majority of Slavic states are oriented towards Washington with the same goal - to prevent the most powerful Slavic power, i.e. Russia, act as the consolidating core of the Slavic world. Austroslavism was replaced by Americanoslavism. The name has changed. The essence is the same. The successes of Americanoslavism are more impressive than those of its predecessor in the 2th century. Central European and Western European countries fell into the orbit of Austroslavism. Orthodox states of Eastern Europe fell into the orbit of Americanoslavism Europe - Ukraine and Belarus. The latter, however, quickly found the strength to escape from the tenacious clutches of Washington, but paid for it with economic isolation, incessant pressure not only from the United States, but also from colleagues in the Slavic workshop - Poland and the Czech Republic, where American Slavism turned into the dominant ideology. Ukraine deserves a separate discussion, as republic number XNUMX in the East Slavic triad of the Soviet Union. Kyiv, sadly enough, stubbornly refuses to remember its own history and its Russian roots. Ukraine was originally conceived as an anti-Russian and even anti-Slavic project, beneficial exclusively to the West. The ideology of Ukrainianism, which is placed at the forefront in the republic, as a state-forming ideological platform, is a dummy, a scarecrow stuffed with all sorts of historical rubbish - from the image of Mazepa and Bandera to a more sleek version of “cultural Ukrainianism” in the form of modern Ukrainian politicians currying favor with the openly pro-fascist electorate of the West. - Ukrainian regions. There is no place for our common heroes in Ukraine. Ukrainians have their own pantheon, consisting of dubious personalities who clumsily draped themselves in the vestments of science and patriotism, but at the same time reduced Ukraine to the role of a political object. The lame ideology of Ukrainianism was very useful here, because Ukrainians are not the author of original geopolitical theories, and prefer to use foreign “blanks”.

          “The geopolitics of Ukraine is an imported product, an “intellectual duplicate” of Western geopolitics, primarily Polish (Jozef Pilsudski, Juliusz Mieroszewski, Włodzimierz Bonczkowski). Among the developers of geopolitical theories of Ukrainianness were ethnic Poles - M. Kolodzinski, N. Sciborski. Analytical centers and political the bodies of Ukrainian geopolitics were located abroad - the Black Sea Institute of Y. Lipa was located in Warsaw, the Union for the Liberation of Ukraine of D. Dontsov - in Vienna. In addition, the geopolitics of Ukraine is teeming with conceptual contradictions. On the one hand, Ukraine declares a campaign against imperial Russia. On the other - calls for the construction of his empire, “from Xiang to the Caucasus". In this case, Ukrainianity serves as a continuation (epigon) of the Western imperialist impulse, seeking to penetrate deep into Eurasia. At the same time, the role of Ukraine in the international arena does not change. It still remains a marginal state on the border two worlds without the prospect of becoming a strong power. Warsaw, with its centuries-old traditions of Polish statehood, cannot do this, and there are no prerequisites for Kiev to succeed. In accordance with the geopolitical theories of Ukrainian nationalists, Ukraine is by default assigned the role of Poland in the confrontation between the countries of the collective West and Russia. The shift of the civilizational “front line” from Polish territory to the territory of Ukraine frees Poland from the need to be a constant arena of clashes between two worlds, since the main collisions will play out directly on Ukrainian lands. Poland will remain in the rear of this struggle. This will turn Ukraine into a “poor relative”, relying only on the West for everything. Today this “relative” is Warsaw. The geopolitics of Ukrainians is mentally based on Western culture and Western logic of relations between man and space, and is a translation of Western sociology of space to the lands of all of Ukraine. The concept of space as a quantitative category, i.e. a simple collection of kilometers or hectares, gained a foothold in the scientific community thanks to the French thinker and scientist Rene Descartes, who introduced the philosophical concepts of res cogitans (a thinking thing) and res extensa (an extended thing). It was in these categories that Rene Descartes thought about the relationship between man, as a thinking thing, and space, as an extended thing. According to Descartes, a person saw a certain spatial extent in front of him and perceived it purely quantitatively, as a set of mathematical data (the total area of ​​space, its length and width). European science of that era was distinguished by extreme rationalism, so Descartes perceived man's relationship to space through quantitative optics. This view is typical of the worldview of a Western person, approaching everything, incl. to geographical space, from the position of rationalism. Western man comes to subjugate space, conquer it and remake it in his own way.

            ". Politics is largely shaped by culture. For the West, the conquest of space has a quantitative dimension. Here the philosophy of accumulation, so characteristic of Western thinking, makes itself felt. The West, represented by the United States, as the only superpower, is “collecting” an increasing number of countries into its “piggy bank”, incl. on the territory of the former USSR - Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, Ukraine. There is no question about the “quality” of these countries: at the state level in some of these countries fascism, ultra-nationalism and racial intolerance are glorified. In a sociological context, the geopolitics of Ukraine expresses the opinions of a maximum of 15% of the population (Western Ukraine) against the remaining 85% (the center and southeast of the country). The geopolitics of Ukrainianism is the antithesis of Eurasianism and continentalism. There is an extremely short ideological distance between the Ukrainian idea and pro-Nazi views. A strictly “Ukrainian” format of thinking, no matter where the bearer of this format lives - in Western Ukraine or in another region of the country, implies at least partial justification for collaboration and confrontation with the Red Army during the Second World War. The Ukrainian idea is subject to mutations. It balances between two poles - the official ideology of Ukraine as a sovereign Slavic state and the idea of ​​“Ukraine for Ukrainians!” In modern Ukraine, both interpretations coexist, since even the official idea of ​​a sovereign Ukrainian state implies separation from Russia and Belarus in political, cultural and economic terms. The authorities need to maintain and consolidate the conditional mental divide between Great Russians, Little Russians and Belarusians, otherwise it will come to the natural attraction of the Eastern Slavs to each other and the loss of the meaning of Ukrainianness as the basis for their own statehood. Therefore, willingly or unwillingly, even the most pro-Russian Ukrainian government carefully guards the sprouts of the Ukrainian idea, while simultaneously suppressing the growth of the idea of ​​a common Russian world. For reasons of political correctness, the official Ukrainianness of Kyiv, which is only a softened and sleek version of Ukrainian otherness, from which racist elements were removed, but left as a “secret weapon” for grassroots use, is not criticized. Therefore, passionate Ukrainian nationalism is always in the position of attacker. The Russian idea is always on the defensive. We come to the conclusion that Ukrainianism is the most harmful ideological injection of American-Slavism into the body of the Russian world. Ukrainians work for the transatlantic pole of power, weakening pan-Slavist ideas directly at the borders of Russia and Belarus. In parallel with this, in Belarus, Western funds are sponsoring the creators of the “Belarusian idea” as a twin myth of Ukrainianism, and in Russia the very idea of ​​Slavic unity is being obstructed. American Slavism came to our lands. It does not threaten us from afar, as Austroslavism did. No, he invaded directly into the Orthodox-Slavic ecumene, operates on our territory and is in the position of an attacker.
