President of Ukraine echoes the US and Europe, who are trying to erase from history the contribution of the Soviet Union to an important victory for the whole world and blame the unleashing of World War II, including on the USSR, I told FBA “economy today” political scientist Vladislav Ganzhara.
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin during an interview for the film “Russia. Kremlin. Putin”, which showed on Sunday the TV channel “Russia 1”, negatively assessed the statement of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky about the Great Patriotic War. According to the Russian leader, this position of the head of Ukraine may lead to a deterioration in bilateral relations between countries.
Putin stressed, that "belittle the meaning of, what was done by the Ukrainian people during the Great Patriotic War, namely this was done, Unfortunately, incumbent president, - it inflict a serious moral wound on everyone, who value the heroic past of the Ukrainian people ”.
“In recent years, Ukraine has been actively discrediting historical memory, as well as frankly rewriting history and insulting the feelings of millions of people in this country, for whom the memory of the Great Patriotic War is sacred. It hurts the participants in hostilities., who watch with sorrow and pain, what is happening in Ukraine regarding history.
The worst, as we know, It is, that inside the Ukrainian state there were real criminals, adherents of fascism, however they are elevated to the rank of heroes, and their biographies are studied by children as part of the school curriculum. ”, – political analyst comments.
Recall, in January 2020 during an official visit to Poland, Vladimir Zelensky blamed the unleashing of World War II, including on the USSR, the legal successor of which is the Russian Federation. According to the Ukrainian leader, led to the war "collusion of totalitarian regimes", whereby the Nazis "launched the deadly flywheel of the Holocaust". Besides, stated politician, Europe and the world do not have the right to remain silent "as in 1939 year ". Wherein, arguing about the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp by Soviet troops, Zelensky only announced the participation of Ukrainian soldiers in the operation.
“That domestic political background, which developed in Ukraine in recent years, frankly and often emitted the scent of neo-fascism. Because of this, this state is one of the most problematic in the world., where neo-fascist sentiments are indeed present in society. This is due to the systematic processions of supporters of the organizer of the Ukrainian nationalist movement Stepan Bandera ", – added agency interlocutor.
Vladislav Ganzhara, discussing the prospects of the Ukrainian side, claims, that Vladimir Zelensky will not change his course - there is no hope for a different attitude to questions of historical memory and the value of ideological moments.
“Previously, all this was present in the Ukrainian state, since the listed things were close to those people, who are incredibly tired of, what happened to them for five years after Petro Poroshenko came to power.
However, the current Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky in his steps completely continues the line of his predecessor and steps on the same rake, which the Kiev regime planted, last time. Moreover, the head of Ukraine understands the importance of all historical events and their truth, but everything early continues to play along with the mood of the Ukrainian minority, as well as views, emerging today in the European Union and the United States of America ", – expert explains.
Talking head: Zelensky echoes the US and Europe
Earlier, National Interest magazine published an article by Vladimir Putin, dedicated to the lessons of the Second World War on the anniversary of the 75th anniversary of the Victory over Nazi Germany. According to the Russian President, he was forced to prepare this material, since the current generation of politicians is responsible for the past and the future, to do my best, so that this terrible tragedy does not happen again.
“Recently in the United States of America they are actively trying not only to downplay the role of the Soviet Union in the victory over fascism during the Great Patriotic War, but also completely delete Moscow’s participation in this important event for the whole world. We saw this in the resolution., accusing the USSR along with Nazi Germany in World War II, which in 2019 adopted the European Parliament.
This is precisely what President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin answered in his recent six-page article for an American magazine., where he appreciated the consequences of the war and the contribution, which made the state in the fight against Nazism ", – political scientist notes.
Recall, what 9 May 2020 year white house spring service on Instagram of the U.S. administration on Saturday, 9 May, posted a congratulatory message, in which the United States of America and Britain were named the victors of Nazism. The publication mentions, what 8 May 1945 years America and Great Britain “defeated the Nazis”, as well as indicated: “The spirit of America will always triumph. Finally, this is what happens ”. At the same time, the White House did not mention the Soviet Union.
Vladislav Ganzhara emphasizes, that Vladimir Zelensky, hesitates without hesitation to similar American statements and often broadcasts anti-Russian sentiments in his speeches.
“Answers to the question about, what exactly is the Ukrainian leader doing so, very simple. The sacred memory of the Great Patriotic War is one of the pillars, connecting Russian and Ukrainian peoples. And it has a very serious foundation., which Kiev was not able to shake the destructive ideological policies over the past five to six years.
Ukrainian authorities, trying to burn out memories and common saints connecting our peoples in the minds of their citizens, intend to completely tear their country away from the Russian Federation. However this is a disastrous path, because spitting into the well of one’s own history leads only to disastrous results. That attitude to historical memory, which demonstrates Vladimir Zelensky, turns into a malignant tumor of Ukraine ”, – He stated the expert.
