i will not take responsibility recently , and in the territories that have fallen under russian jurisdiction, there has been a whole series of murders and attacks on representatives of local authorities, a car was blown up in kherson temporarily, the acting head of the traffic police on duty, major sneshin, the murder of the deputy military-civilian administration of kherson region alexei kovalev and the head of the administration of nova kakhovka vitaly gur. this is not a complete list of the target of ukrainian militants is anyone who expresses sympathy russia is a good example of an attempt on the life of the rector of kherson state university tatiana tomilina, who they tried to blow up in the entrance of her own house. the reaction to this from ukraine was predictably approving. in the lugansk region. the mayor of the city of criminal vladimir struk was kidnapped a day later, he was found dead on his neck and his hands were wrapped with electrical tape. death of an official

anton gerashchenko, an odious adviser to the head of the ministry of internal affairs of ukraine, commented on his facebook page, one less traitor, apparently, he was shot by unknown patriots, as a traitor, according to martial law, a few days later, on march 7, the mayor of gostomel was killed in the kiev region. yuri sticky. it is known that he had strained relations with veterans, and even he was repeatedly threatened during the hostilities, sticky tried to organize negotiations between the russian and ukrainian military on the withdrawal civilians from the city. as a result, together with two volunteers. he was shot in the head when he was distributing humanitarian aid, the ukrainian media unanimously claimed that the mayor was allegedly shot by russian occupiers and the occupiers stuck the head of a dense sea mass. yuriy prolybka, telling the tale of the solar council, the tragic death of a deputy of several convocations and an active participant in two maidans raises many questions. he died on may 9 of this

year, allegedly during an artillery shelling however, if we take into account what statements have recently been made by the deputy of the version of his accidental death, one can doubt? i am ready to testify against myself against petro poroshenko against yatsenyuk plants against alexander turchinov against vitali klitschko, my only condition. i ask you to guarantee my safety. one of the most high-profile was the murder of denis kireev, a member of the ukrainian delegation at the talks with russia, on march 5, 2022, 4 days after the staff meeting in gomel. sbu shot him right in the center of kiev, allegedly during the arrest on suspicion of state. i'll change this just an example of this. uh, or who connected with each other and the old elite. uh, well, and the elites, and considering that in belarus this is as much as we can, uh, they were being restored. the conversations were initially about something, like, as

it were, either surrender or surrender on some kind of conditions, because the delegation was set up that way initially, and then these incomprehensible stories began to happen to it. and now, apparently, those who, so to speak, represented the constructive part ukrainian side. in general, we decided to liquidate. in general, regarding the elimination of objectionable opponents. ukraine has rich experience enough to recall the murder of journalists. georgy gangadze, pavel sheremet and oles buzina, when a real civil war began in the country in the spring of 2014, donbass became the scene of high-profile contract killings, the death of the commander of the sparta battalion arseniy pavlov, known under the call sign motorola of his closest associate mikhail tolstoy, the famous givi of the head of the somali battalion and finally. dnr leader alexandra zakharchenko became for donbass not in fulfillment of the loss. it could be attributed, for example, to political competitors or to

foreign intelligence services further outside the territory of ukraine. but if ukraine has confessed so many times and directly boasted on live television that, yes, it was our intelligence services that destroyed the leaders of the militia of the donetsk lugansk people's republics, then, of course we can also state the fact that it was the ukrainian terrorist state that eliminated the first head of the donetsk people's republic of the ukrainian authorities and security forces are typical, just like they are not the sequence of their reaction to the blowing up of two spans of the crimean bridge is a clear confirmation of this, if at first in kiev they actually admitted their involvement in the sirat and even promised to continue in the same spirit, then literally a matter of hours, realizing a serious image loss, they changed their position by 180 ° and began to disown in every possible way from participating in this crime to him. this is not just a diversion. this is precisely a terrorist attack, because the purpose of any terrorist attack is to intimidate us. intimidation, but also, uh, in general, inspiration

e sleeping cells, well, terrorist attacks begin when the enemy has nothing to oppose on the battlefield and random people who find themselves at the wrong time and in the wrong place are paying for it anna efimova valery savelyev anastasia popova of a typical ukraine on how the tradition of political assassination was formed in ukraine and what it resulted in. today we will talk with our permanent expert, historian and political scientist alexander vasiliev. sasha good afternoon. good afternoon bandera from inted. this is such a formula for ukrainian nationalists, a well-established phrase. and what place did political assassinations occupy in general in the practice of ukrainian nationalism. well, we can say that the starting point in this regard was, of course, the creation of the econovaians in the twentieth year. uh,

ukrainian military organizations. it was very aggressive, but the minority were completely different politicians who tried to defend the right of ukrainians by other methods, and politically the right of ukrainians, as if somewhere it worked out, somewhere it worked out less , but it was a kind of process. and these are people, including also became victims, and those very e. political assassinations, but the most interesting thing is that e has already happened between his own canal and bandera and the change of generations. and those people who were originally former officers passed, which means they had a traumatic experience of world war, civil war, and so on. well, how can one understand that these are their methods, but here is the galician youth, who came after them and in fact. here, around bandera , these people were grouped who, in theory, did not have such experience, but they are even more radical than this the practice of political assassinations, and began to confess the murder of another person. there is a way. here's to self-realization attracting the superhuman

man. and it was very. well, let's say this was especially impregnated with this one, i repeat. uh, galician and youth, uh, who went to e. terror is very active. these people did not disdain such methods against each other. yes, because there, without going into details, it split into several parts and continued to kill each other, then this was the easiest way to solve it. what would be the question, that is, it completely permeated. but ukrainian nationalism. uh, from the very beginning, it was this practice of murders and this and the cult of murders, and therefore this word, and there tata, it is as beautiful as um sounds with such a foreign flair. yes, today we see that the ukrainian security forces and special services also resort to the practice of this bandera, antata, uh. why is it possible, er, nowadays there are actually several factors or the nineties? and it was no longer politics. they were just criminal murders, but they were carried out already then ukrainian nationalists. and we remember this sasha billov. yes, again, who was

killed by avakov. yes, that is, all this in common resembles these showdowns, so to speak, melnik with a panther. yes, and here are their people, but only at a new level, that is, these criminal methods, and doing business, again, they superimposed perfectly on this one, uh, bender's fleur yes, the ideology of terrorism, and in the end we got what it is? this is imagine that terrorists infiltrated the special services at the same time, the corresponding ideologies and outright crime infiltrated, katasovstvuyuschie practice, including they what is called found each other, and therefore it is even difficult to find somewhere in the modern world analogues. yes, uh, the special services turned out to be so, uh, filled with these people in the ukrainian case, this is, especially, for example, absolutely, and the emphasis is on there, as they say, liquidation or there from someone else, yes, that is, people who uh do not carry other weapons , which is impossible under any form, but to imagine, and in

as a military target, yes or a legitimate military target, and in lvov they could have killed before the war, there the director of the ukrainian gymnasium for cooperation with sprites, then they could have killed a teacher from the eastern regions of the ussr yes, the one who taught the ukrainian language to children in her golitsy could to kill or the galician writer could have been killed , and we are now seeing exactly the same repetition. and here they are rooted precisely there, the practice of killing civilians , which are of such a terrorist, intimidating nature. she can break. e somehow the situation or people's opinion is in favor of the ukrainian authorities. it's a question of how rationally they do it. yes, that is, they really want to win this way. like, yes, this is some kind of cold calculation, or i repeat. here's my point of view is that they do it because they can because in this way they realize themselves. yes, of course it's fear. this is terror. this, uh, brings its own psychological effect. it seems to me, uh, we

were not even ready for this. and in that sense that's what we all say bandera and bandera. these were some empty sounds. that's what i'm saying, now it shows how this theory is directly related to practice, you need to understand what we are dealing with. e from face. but, and thus achieve. e of some so to speak there pere in their favor, but just, maybe, just just shed more blood. ah. yes, this is the only one. uh, what can be achieved yes, and yet the amazing thing is that it is absolutely under absolute silence. ah, the west, yes, that is, it is being done, well, this is an obvious war crime, so to speak. yes, i repeat, they die, and people who cannot be. uh, to be considered, at least theoretically, is the goal for sabotage in general. it 's just ignored as if it doesn't exist, and it happens with frightening regularity in recent times. uh, just a case, this is already a transition from some artisanal methods, such as an improvised

explosive device or a shot to a high-precision weapon. why, as with uh, the deputy crane, whom many knew, was just a rocket. uh, hit the hotel and we are completely we know exactly what it was. ah, a targeted strike. i mean, it's brand new. yes, imagine people here with that terrorist criminal thinking and everything appeared simply. new arsenal, that's what they can achieve. thank you very much for an interesting story. the oppression of the native language in the russian empire is a typical plot that historians and writers in ukraine love to present so much, the valuev circular of 1863 on the suspension of printing in the little russian language, a religious educational and for initial reading of the literature of em and decree on the same subject in 1876. yes, all this was, but there was another poem burlesque by ivan kotlyarevsky enaid, from

which modern ukrainian literature originates, was published in st. petersburg, the capital of the empire, in 1809. the work was so popular that it went through four editions during the life of the author, two of them pirated without the knowledge of the writer, sharply became famous in 1903. in poltava, he was delivered. for the little russian province, this was a rarity in an almanac with a characteristic title, a review of russian literature for 1828, a critic, the arrest of soums, wrote from all previous inoids, only the little russian parody of kotlyarevsky because its authors knew how to spice up their poem with little russian pickle and bring it out vividly. in it instead of trojans. carthaginian pelatine fellow countrymen of their

little russians with their home life habits and sayings valued in russia the classics of ukrainian literature. and here are a few more examples from individual chapters of the book. black rada of panteleimon kulish the first historical novel in ukrainian literature was published in 1845 in the journal russian conversation in moscow, the text was printed in russian in order to make it accessible to a wide range of readers . not in kiev, but in st .
