hello. kirill vyshinsky is with you, and this is a typical ukraine program. our program is not news, we record it in advance and go out on a weekly basis. we don't compete with news releases. we talk about what made ukraine the way we know it today, the typical and, of course, the peculiar path that ukraine went through in malarussia from the ussr before it turned out to be the current point. that's what we're interested in, we hope that it's interesting for you, and that's what we'll talk about today. the rejection of russian fashion came from lviv , is the whole of ukraine ready to forget its russian roots

? it cannot be said that the rejection of everything russian from russian culture in ukraine is a recent phenomenon . it all started back in the nineties, almost immediately after the proclamation of independence , the renaming of streets named after russian writers was in lviv back in the ninety-fifth, by the decision of the city council, lermontov street before was named after the leader of the chechen separatists. jahara. dudayev dudayev was still alive , he died in the ninety-sixth in 2004 in lviv collected signatures for the return of the old name. however, the townspeople nobody heard. but in 2008, despite the protest, the city council decided to assign the name of the heroes of the upa to turgenev street , an organization banned in russia. and later, pushkin street began to bear the name of general upa chuprynka.

what the streets during the election campaign of the candidate from western ukraine viktor yushchenko wording against cooperation with russia for cooperation with europe became one of the most popular on the orange maidan, but the real anti-russian hysteria began in 2013-14, the formal reason for the protests was the postponement by the government of president yanukovych of the signing of the trade association agreement with the european . prospects for ukraine the manifesto of the maidan was an anti-russian poem by ukrainian student anastasia dmitruk, we will never be brothers, we will never take them. not in the motherland, not in the motherland, you don’t have the spirit to be free, we can’t become with you. even the code of the paphos

poem was associated with the image of free ukrainians who would never be slaves. they were opposed to russians born in chains. in general, revolutionary romance, but in ukraine, the responses to this poem then in the fourteenth year were ambiguous maidanovites and sympathizers were delighted, but the poetess herself wrote that many did not like the poem. and it was mostly people from the east. countries. true, in just a few years ukrainians who, after the maidan, received european visa-free travel and went to europe to work , will already complain that they are attracted to unskilled work there, for which they receive less than local citizens, and often independent ukrainian citizens called such working conditions slave. and not only for the robins, but also for the euro slaves. although the attitude towards russian is not brothers and everything russian. it hasn't had a significant

impact. today in ukraine they are demolishing monuments to soviet soldiers, renaming streets that have any slightest attitude towards russia is going to be deleted by russian writers from the school curriculum about how far this process has gone in ukraine in the plot anna efimova its appearance and its name, the sculptural composition was first renamed the arch of freedom of the people of ukraine during the special operation in the donbass, the figures of two russian and ukrainian workers were dismantled in the process, which is symbolic from one one of them fell off the head of what was happening was personally observed by markiv vitali klitschko titanium arch over now already gaping emptiness in the distant eighty- second was conceived by soviet architects as the

personification of the rainbow. today, it really plans to highlight it with bright colors, but only with two yellow and blue, that is, the colors of the ukrainian flag, the people who are renaming all this, especially those associated with decommunization. i mean, they didn't build anything. really understand the accent when goes to the outside world over it goes deep go, deep processes, you can pull as much as you like , but the result was not long in coming. everything works, everything is consistent. there is a concept of a system against it, you can’t argue with the system, the system really lined up for years, here you can recall the imperishable tome of ukraine, not the russia of leonid kuchma, or take it deeper and delve into the roots of ukrainization a hundred years ago, but be that as it may be, a truly massive rejection of everything soviet, and in fact russian occurred in 2015, when the notorious package of laws of the cody communization was adopted, then ukraine was covered, not like a tsunami wave of renaming settlements, including such large cities as, for example, dnepropetrovsk, it became just the dnieper throughout the

country and the so-called leninfall. today, according to the ukrainian authorities, not a single monument to the leader of the world proletariat is left in the country, and many iconic military memorials in lviv, for example, the local authorities dismantled the monument of glory one one of the largest monuments to the heroes of the great patriotic war on the territory of ukraine is often a state that was formed as a result of the collapse of a large state, begins to build its history of its identity on rejection from the country that they were part of. ukraine did not do the same immediately, but rejecting this path, as if the communist past of his country, declaring it criminal under the veil, where communization took place de russification. svoboda

sower tynynye at least was not a decembrist, but by modern standards, he could well be called an oppositionist. emperor alexander the first even blamed pushkin for flooding russia with outrageous poems, however. it is unlikely that those who today, if one may say so, dismantles monuments to the poet , probably knowing only the well-established prefix great russian in the city of mukachevo, vandals painted the bust of the poet in yellow and blue in uzhgorod before demolition on a granite pedestal. suddenly , for some reason, the inscription joe dassin appeared, but in chernihiv the militants were in a defensive dash. prim was chili with the consent of the local police, they dismantled the monument to pushkin, which stood in its place, they did not touch it for 121 years, even during the years of german occupation, to kill the muscovite in oneself, to fight all the muscovite russians, to fight accordingly. it is necessary not only within oneself, but also in the public space everyone who wants to prove his patriotism, huh? his consciousness,

as a ukrainian, shows some kind of initiative to, well, either paint some shop in the colors of the ukrainian flag, or somehow desecrate a monument that reminds people of russia and common history. uh, with the russians and so on. well, the state is also in this regard, especially the local authorities are trying, uh, to go forward and uh to direct this process, which is noteworthy, one of the leaders in the race for dismantling and renaming became transcarpathian uzhgorod, while in such a large administrative center as lviv proposed to rename about 30 russian streets as almost a district husband; the authorities counted twice as many in the black list; there is no place left for the classics of world literature, the fat chekhov he is dostoevsky turgenev, as well as the scientists mendeleev tsiolkovsky lomonosov, and for me this is symbolic for the first soviet cosmonaut yuri gagarin.

quite serious, because it would seem to be some kind of innocent joke. this is what many called insanity, as they also considered russification to be insanity at the beginning, people shouted, rang all the bells, they say, guys, you are losing the russian-speaking part of the population, but who heard it then? new names are drawn from today and it’s not only about the squares of the heroes of ukraine or the heavenly hundred, for example, in the city of vasilkov, kiev region, it was proposed to name the embankment in honor of the great friend of ukraine boris johnson , the prime minister of great britain is ready, as he said in april in kiev at a press conference following negotiations with vladimir zelensky, to fight until the last ukrainian, whether the head of the british cabinet visited new vasyuki, that is, history is silent about vasilkov, it is obvious that place names have long ceased to be for ukrainian activists reflection, past eras and the real cultural history of the country. you have become a part of a large

well-oiled system of political manipulations anna efimova valeriy savelyev anastasia popova typical, ukraine in the wide practice of rejecting everything russian in ukraine, we will talk with our permanent expert historian alexander vasiliev. sasha good afternoon. hello sasha , after the start of a special military operation in ukraine, uh, such a huge wave swept. uh, from the nose of the russian monument. and yes, all the time sound. uh, in the growing demand to abandon everything russian, right down to the language in everyday life, and moreover , it is argued that if it were not for a special military operation, then in ukraine there would be such a phenomenon and it would not be like this any person who, uh, well, lived in ukraine and more or less familiar with this problem. he knows perfectly well that this desire to get rid of everything russian has been present

in ukraine since it did not even gain independence in the ninety-first year. but in fact , much earlier, at least from the moment the appearance of the ussr. and in general any form. here is such a ukrainian statehood 100 years ago already then these trends. ah, they showed up. now , on the contrary, for people who have been systematically doing this for many years, who have made a career in wrestling completely russian, and now they have , on the contrary, a golden time, they use current events as an excuse to finally solve those goals that they are open declared all these years. but this is a very important point, what are these goals? what do they want to get rid of? what experience have we gained in this regard, but here it is an interesting story that in ukraine, as always , everything happened differently in different regions. here you can take two vivid examples, for example, lviv and odessa in this regard. yes, such certain cities are antagonists. e, well, for example, but in the same

lvov instead of e figures. eh, the soviet e, so to speak e, period, the streets of the same bandera shukhevych immediately began to appear there, that is, ah, they did not perpetuate their own. yes, not the names that have been in lviv from time immemorial. yes these streets built up with buildings of the xix somewhere even xviii century, when we are 15 and 16. here. uh, well, that may be the most historical center traditionally toponymy preserved. and here is already slightly on the periphery. this is already very clearly visible, and already at the same time in lvov , already at that time in lvov, precisely the abolition of russian culture began. yes, because we know, change lermontov street to jahar dudayev street e. why is this so typical, because i don’t think that the inhabitants of these old cozy lviv quarters had such a desire to live specifically outside. uh, well, some kind of chechen militant, yes, well, hardly unrelated.
