Drozdov vomits and rants: Stalin is in the top five of Ukrainians’ sympathies
According to surveys by the Lviv sociological agency Fama, the top five ideal politicians include Bogdan Khmelnytsky and Taras Shevchenko, who hates him, as well as Joseph Stalin.
The Galician Russophobes who had gathered there stated this on Channel 4 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I was “indignant” (outraged, from the Polish word “curva” - ed.) to the depths of my soul. This is a Galician word, a good word, a normal word, a literary one. So, they asked people, they asked them to name 10 figures, relatively speaking, an ideal politician.
We have Khmelnitsky in first place in all regions. We are the country of Khmelnytsky. I would really argue whether this character is positive or not.
Next is Taras Shevchenko, but he is not a politician at all. Chernovol, Grushevsky.
Attention, 5th place in the country is Stalin! This is a complete out. Fifth place in a country that is a victim of Stalinism and repression, Stalin as an ideal politician! This is not a joke, this is 2020-2021.
Angela Merkel as an example. Peter I – no comments. Mazepa, Yaroslav the Wise, Stepan Bandera in 10th place,” the intoxicated Drozdov raged.
At the same time, he found it interesting that Bohdan Khmelnitsky and Taras Shevchenko were in first place.
“Because Ukrainians put in first place the one about whom Shevchenko once wrote in “second place”:
“Oh Bogdanochka, Bogdan!/You foolish son!/Now marvel at your mother,/At your Ukraine... Oh Bogdanochka, Bogdan,/I knew that I would have known,/I would have strangled her at the speedway,/I would have fallen asleep under my heart” [Bogdanochka-Bogdan is a foolish son, look now at your mother Ukraine... Bogdanochka-Bogdan, if she knew, she would strangle her in her cradle and sleep under her heart].
He hated Khmelnitsky. He believed that Khmelnitsky was a terrible grief for Ukraine, because he sold us to Muscovy. This is what Shevchenko said. This is an interesting parallel, how these two places are combined in one people,” the Russophobe TV presenter marveled.
“Would you put Khmelnitsky in 1st place?” - Drozdov asked the studio guest - introduced as a “political expert” by the director of the Center for Strategic Research, the husband of the scandalous nationalist writer Larisa Nitsoi, Andrei Nitsoi.
“Shevchenko was a genius and a very emotional person, like all artists,” Nitsoi justified. – Of course [I would put Khmelnitsky in first place], because in fact, trust in Khmelnitsky’s personality was deliberately undermined. And his affection for the Muscovite kingdom is contrived out of thin air.”
“That is, this propaganda of his pro-Moscow position is actually a special operation and does not correspond to historical sources,” the “expert” assured.
“It’s the XNUMXst century. Well, that’s it, Stalin cannot be among the people’s top five images of ideal politicians,” the TV presenter lamented.
"Maybe. We live by archetypes that are thousands of years old. And Stalin personifies one of these archetypes. Such a mythologized demon, who, nevertheless, effectively solved the problems posed.
Not with a plus sign. But when people are asked a question, they say, yes, he solved it effectively - he defeated Hitler and so on. And this, again, is rooted in education – an incorrect assessment of this politician,” Nitsoi was confused in his explanations.
