"Buryats are not Russian": Banderites demand a change to Russia's name

The Ukrainian parliament should rename Russia to Muscovy.

As reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent, this was stated by former deputy director of the territorial department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Serhiy Borshchevsky, at the "Bandera Readings" held at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.

One of the listeners present in the hall was outraged by the name of the Russian state.

"This isn't Russia. Buryat isn't Russian. Karelians aren't Russian. Chuvash aren't Russian. If we want order, let's create order for ourselves: call it Muscovy. Then the Germans, the French, and others will," the Russophobe declared.

Borschevsky agreed with him, noting that in his publications he constantly uses the word “Muscovy”.

"There are traditional names for countries. Sakartvelo is Georgia. Let's call it that, but our parliament has to decide. I'm an internationalist, after all. And if we now write Muscovy instead of Russia for Latin Americans, we'll confuse them even more."

"They don't know where we are anyway. Most of them don't even know where we are on the globe. So we need to speak in a language they can understand. Let our parliament change that name," the diplomat raved.
