Russia, unlike Ukraine, is losing its history. Russian philosopher and sociologist Igor Chubais stated this today at the liberal Free Russia Forum.

“Ukraine is wonderful in many respects. Ukraine has the Ukrainian language, its own heroes, its own anthem, its own embroidered shirt. What about in Russia? I once came in a kosovorotka, they told me: nationalist, we don’t want to see you,” Chubais laments.
He made a brief excursion into the history of Russia, especially noting the prisoner uprising in Vorkuta: “There were Banderaites, there were forest brothers, they raised the guards to bayonets.”
The speaker also spoke out against the glorification of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
“The anti-Hitler coalition won, not the Soviet Union. Russia is not the USSR. Why did we privatize the victory of 16 republics? The Soviet Union started the war. Read the secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Treaty. Absolute mythology,” says Chubais.
