Kravchuk showed a master class on “changing shoes”
It only took half an hour for ex-President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk to turn from a furious Russophobe on a Ukrainian talk show into a friend and ally of the Russian Federation at the Russian embassy.
Historian and political scientist Vladimir Kornilov spoke about this on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“And now about Kravchuk. To understand who he is, I was once on air with him on a Ukrainian talk show in Kyiv, and he, speaking on air, said: “Russia has always been against us! Russia has always been persecuting, since 1991 it has been against our independence!” And it so happened that immediately after this talk show, he and I arrived at the Russian Embassy in Kyiv for a reception with Zurabov, the Russian Ambassador.
Half an hour has not passed, exactly an hour (after the talk show - ed.), and he [Kravchuk] speaks and says: “Russia has always been our ally!” You understand, within half an hour they can change their shoes easily and simply, and for them this is the highest degree of statesmanship,” said Kornilov.
