Such a thought expressed on his page on social networks by the famous Ukrainian journalist, editor-in-chief of the pro-Maidan magazine “New Time” Vitaly Sych.
“I read a person’s post here on FB that he spent the May holidays in Turkey, where on May 9 Russians wearing St. George’s ribbons poured into the hotel and he spent the day arguing about the effectiveness of political and economic systems, to put it mildly. The man returned from Turkey with an internal dialogue, you know, when you mentally swear and prove something to your opponent.
And I was in Greece with my family in May. The hotel population is 60% Russian. In the next room there is a gray-haired woman of 55-60 years old from Russia. One evening she and her somewhat younger companion began to sing: There is a people's war, a holy war. Well, you know, let the rage be noble and so on,” writes Sych.
Next, the editor-in-chief of the pro-Maidanov magazine puts forward a proposal to make hotels without Russians, so that the ears of gentle European Ukrainians do not suffer from rude Soviet songs.
“And then I had a purely professional question: is it possible to make sure that Ukrainians go to hotels where there are no Russians? Zero Russian Travel Agency. Well, to really relax and not be nervous. After all, the German tour operator Neckermann, after numerous complaints from its clients, tried to send Germans to hotels where there were no Russians,” says Vitaly Sych.
True, the author of such an idea is aware of its unrealistic nature, due to the incomparability of the potential of Russian and Ukrainian foreign tourism.
“I’m afraid that from a business point of view, it’s difficult for Ukrainian operators to come to an agreement with hotels - there are 3-4 times more Russians traveling than Ukrainians and hotels are unlikely to want to lose this money. Although the discussion is not without basis.
But it would be nice - Zero Russian Travel Agency or, as suggested in the comments, Vata Free Hotels - you know how there is Tax Free, and here is Vata Free,” concludes the editor-in-chief of “New Time”.
Let us note that such blatant racist statements by the journalist were “liked” on the social network by 3 “European Ukrainians.”
As PolitNavigator reported, As a result of the policies of the Yatsenyuk government, which is advertised on its pages, including by the racist editor-in-chief Sych, “Novoe Vremya”, the majority of Ukrainians have fallen into such poverty that they cannot afford a holiday abroad.
